My pup went for his first grooming today..I know he needed it and since I was having a horrible time trying to groom him myself we went ahead and made a appt. I knew his hair was starting to get matted and it was becoming so hard to get out. I bought some detangler and all but couldnt do a whole lot cause he just doesnt quit moving long enough, he hates being brushed.
Mostly his legs and sides were matty...she said it was best to shave all of it off and start over that taking the mats out would be nearly impossible. I wasnt too happy about that...I wanted to atleast save the top of his hair even if it meant him looking weird with some shaved and some not. But I couldnt picture him looking like a almost hairless rat.
To our surprise my hubby went to get him and she shaved it all. From neck down. Left some hair on his face and head so his head looks big...I'm not happy but whats to do. Maybe it is better to start regrowing it. But it doesnt even look like him anymore and his coat color is like all gone. He was mostly black with tan and now whats left is what the roots color was..kinda silverish.
I swear he looks like a smooth coated chihauhua!
My questions are these...Will his coat tecture grow back differently because of using clippers?
Also will his color come back like it was? I definately liked his black and tan.
Is it gonna be affected?
Also what type of brush do you recommend for everyday use?
I was using a bristle also tried comb.
