In order to be happy and healthy, many dogs need to be groomed regularly. This is especially true with the ones that have long and luscious fur.

Grooming includes having warm showers, cut nails, clean ears, and a nice, groomed, shiny coat. Unfortunately, not every pup gets to experience such a nice spa day that leaves them fresh and clean.

Some pups go months, even years without having their coat brushed, becoming dirty and completely matted.

Panda, a neglected stray, experienced exactly this as his fur wasn’t taken care of for over a year.

Saving Panda

Panda is a sweet little pup that came in as a stray to the Annenberg PetSpace, a Los Angeles-based institution designed to strengthen the human-animal bond through pet adoption.

He came in in a very rough state, as his entire fur was matted in one big mess.

“He very much smelled like a barnyard when we put him in the back of our vehicle. We really just wanted to give him a moment to decompress,” Catie told The Dodo.

After the staff managed to gain his trust, they got to work, shaving off all of those mats.
