You are going to have to bite the bullet and take her somewhere and have her hair cut off and start over.

We did this last summer when Lucy became really matted around where her harness is (lots of walks in the summer). Rather than put her through pain - we just had her cut cut off - we left some hair around her face. She still looked cute and her hair grew back as pretty as ever.

I just had her cut all over again (except left more hair around her face). She just had surgery and the groomer said anesthesia never leads to a good coat! Anyhoo, she has some leaky urine issues and I just cut her body hair until we get that straightened out. So much easier to keep her clean with short hair.

Really - it WILL grow back fine.


Spare your pup a lot of pain. It will be much for her and her coat.
