Hi, This is my first post/reply. My boyfriend and I have a four month old yorkie and brought her to the groomers for the first time on Friday. (The vet told us we had to wait until she got her rabies vaccine before bringing her to see the groomer).

When we arrived for her appointment, the groomer told me that she had to be shaved, because she was too matted. I was devastated. When I picked her up she looked nothing like my little puppy that I had dropped off.

This is our first dog, so we thought we were doing all of the right things. We would brush her everyday. I guess we were using the wrong type of brush.


If anyone has any suggestions please let us know. We will be bringing her to the groomer every 6 weeks (groomer suggested this), so she will not have to be shaved again.

Before she was shaved, she was a nice black/tan color. Does anyone know if her fur will grow back the same color, or a different color?


Just thought I'd share my story with you
