Butchered!!!!

[icy]

I took Brownie to the groomers this past weekend and I told them I wanted a puppy cut. She had a full length coat and now that it's nearing summertime, I thought I should take some off. Our temperature highs were in the 30's (celsius) this past week.

LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO HER!!!!

As soon as I took a look at her, I was mortified . I didn't know what to say. Usually, these people are really good and I have been going to them for over a year. They said, "Everyone's cutting their dog's hair like this". I told them this wasn't just anyone's dog, she was my baby.

Brownie was so upset she wouldn't even look at herself in the mirror. She whined all night, and I mean ALL NIGHT. I turn on the a/c at home and now she sits there shivering and so I have to put a light sweatshirt on her, which defeats the purpose of why I had her cut in the first place.

I asked her if she wanted to go to work with me today, which usually she races me to the door, but today, she hid under the sofa. I guess she's self-concious and wanted to stay home. Good thing I'm pet sitting my friend's chihuahua (Brownie hates her) and they can keep each other company.

Cute Cute Cute! I love short hair. So does my Edie. She thinks she looks just like Hallie Berry when her hair is short.

Don't worry--if you like it long I can promise it will grow back.

I know it will grow back, but I'm having a hard time because we have hard wood floors and Brownie is a whopping 3.5lbs and is REALLY tiny. Now, all I can see is her head floating around, can't even see her body, she kind of melts into the background

we had the same weird puppy cut last summer. i was shocked too. thank goodness it grew in quick.

[colby&sadee mom]

i am so sorry that they did that, but it will grow and she will be as good as new. i have a story about humility. my son colby got his first and second hair cut and they put a bow in his hair and everyone called him gay and he was so embarrassed that he woulnt even come out of the bedroom.

Poor baby! They trimmed her hair too short on her body. One thing is for sure though, that beautiful face is still intact. She is so pretty. Sorry about your experience.

[Dan & Corinne]

I can completely understand why you would be so upset! That's NOT a puppy cut! She shaved!

It still looks really cute if that's what you wanted and we all know it will grow back but...

I had the same thing happen to Jewel. I asked for 1" off and instead they left 1"! In hindsite, I think Jewel was very comfortable in the cut but when you go to pick them up and the shock of seeing you baby looking completely different from what you expected is very upsetting.

I learned my lesson and ALWAYS take a photo of how I want them cut since.

Here are pictures of Jewel's disaster cut.

That is one of the worst "puppy cuts' I have seen. That groomer had no idea what they were doing, they shaved her body and left her head untouched, kinda looks like a lion cut. I took trixie in once and they did the opposite, they shaved her muzzle and cut her hair on the head really short and left the body long. So now aI always groom my babies myself, there are just too many bad groomers out there. I would like to say, even though they butchered your baby she is still gorgeous, not even a groomer could take that away from her!!! She looks kinda scared in the picture, poor girl. Don't worry it will grow back and although it is not your ideal cut that you had in mine, she is still adorable.

Almost sounds like they hurt her, or the cut was not a good experience in some way. When I get my guys cut, they don't seem to have a clue what it looks like themselves.

That is not a puppy cut that is a lion cut. I would find a new groomer. Chachi gets a puppy cut and his face s not that long. Also his body is not that short

I'm so sorry for your experience. She is still adorable. Hopefully she will grow in soon.

That is way beyond a puppy cut. Who cares if everyone is doing it...that is not what you asked for. I know I wouldn't have paid for that. You could have done that yourself at home.

She looks cute, but I can see that the hair on her body is super short, like a buzz cut. Just get her a cute dress, tank dress or something Mommy, and she will be ok. Sorry the groomer took it upon themselves to give your baby the cut "everyone else's dog is getting" instead of the puppy cut you requested. I hope you gave them a piece of your mind!

She looks ADORABLE !! Keep telling her how pretty she is and put some clothes on her - she'll grow to like it - I think LOTS of us had a groomer like that - I know I did !
