I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | It will probably be a couple months. The good news is that many puppies mat, and once the new or adult coat comes in, they may not mat as much. This has happened to so many people and a cute little dress or shirt can make a difference in their looks. I'm sorry this has happened to you, it probably not as bad as you think, but it's so hard getting use to what looks like a different dog. Another thing about clothing, they may even need a sweater, if it's really shaved short, hair helps insulate the body from temperature extremes of cold or hot.

| It will probably take awhile. I took Sam last July to the groomers, he had beautiful long hair on his ears and I told the groomer NOT to cut them. Well, she did and they still don't look like they use to..Needless to say we haven't been back to that groomer.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I feel your pain. My female got a really bad haircut, and I entitled a picture in my album, "Bad Hair Day." They clipped her nose hair too much and now she has a Charlie Chaplin mustache. I would return the dog to the groomer and ask that the cut be fixed, in that I am sure it was probably $40+. A clipper cut is easy to correct, especially if you still have one inch of hair. The biggest issue lies in the spots that are cut too close, to the skin, the knicks, etc. I know the look....it looks like an 8-year-old cut it. It will be unnoticable in a few months, and if you plan on growing the dog's hair out, then just let it grow. If you plan on keeping it close, have it redone and then just don't return to that groomer. I have a clipper in the house that I use for bad do's....believe me....there have been many... Just like with humans, hair does grow...this is the saving grace....just don't try to watch it grow...it's the equivalent of watching a pot boil.... |
