| I had the same experience just the other day but it wasn't with petsmart it was with a local groomer. Benny is 9 months old, he had very long hair all over, I took him there to get just a trim nothing else. Well when I went back to get him he looks just like yours does, I was so upset with them not listening to what I told them about just giving him a trim. The owners granddaughter kept apologizing about how she cut him but that doesn't put his hair back on. Needless to say I will never go back there again and I will try and trim his hair myself. On a better note, it's just hair and will grow back, it will just take awhile. |

| Oh my, I wouldn't have believed that was the same puppy LOL. Luckily, it's just hair and it will grow back. When I got my first yorkie, I didn't realize how quickly they matted. I had to trim her down to nothing...although she looked like a little adorable lamb. It grew back and now I comb instead of brush. She so did not look like a yorkie with all her hair gone but who doesn't love a puppy regardless of what hair they have? I think it's hard to find a great groomer, just like it's hard to find a great person to cut your own hair

YT 2000 Club Member | dog I will not trust groomers at the petshops. They razor burned my last dog so I have a groomer come to my home where I can stand there and watch what she does and help out. Please be careful who grooms your precious Yorkies. I get so man when I hear of a groomer abusing a dog. You just never know what goes on when you leave them. I am sorry for your pups experience but your dog looks so cute and that fur will grow back. I am thankful she didn't hurt your dog. Hope this info helps. |

| We do adoptions at our local petsmart every weekend right outside the viewing window. While the groomers are very nice I would never let them do anything except bath, brush and nails. The groomers are allowed only a certain period of time per dog so frequently take shortcuts. My yorkies go to one of two private groomers but I will take my golden wuth strict instructions not to cut except between pads of feet. You wouldn't believe how many people shave their goldens. I also take my golden and my saint when I had her to petco for the furinator treatment. Pet smart will tell you that they will usethe furinator for a certain period of time. Petco will groom until they're done. |

| I prefer the short cuts and poor Vinnie's pic's are similar to those...I never realized how dramatic the change is....WOW...I think he looks gorgeous...it will grow back in a a couple months. Are his ears floppy now?

| Poor baby is nekked! Sorry this happened to you, I went to petsmart once and my poor baby came back looking like a square, all angular cuts, it was horrible. Hair tends to grow back pretty quick. After that experience I became interested in learning how to groom myself, I am happy I learned, it always comes out just like I want it and if I mess up I only have myself to blame. Hope you have better luck next time. Maybe put a shirt on him in the mean time?

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | He still looks adorable. That first cut is always so dramatic. Having been one of those people who cried in the parking lot after each of my pup's first grooming appointments, I found this picture very funny. Thankfully, it's just hair and it will grow back.

| What a cutie, I like BOTH pics! Seeing as your pup is only 14 weeks old, he only has 14 weeks of hair growth. When they are born it is very short -- shorter than it is now after the hair cut. So probably in 10 or 11 weeks it will be back to the same length it was before the cut.

YT 2000 Club Member | dog These groomers at these pet stores seem to need instruction. Today I was in Petsmart and a darling dog was on the table. The groomer cut a skin tag that was on the dog and it was bleeding. I felt so bad for that dog and the owner. I have a groomer that I know and trust and I will never drop my dog off and let some inexperienced groomer try to groom my dog. Just do not trust them. Be careful where you groom your precious Yorkie. |

| All groomers are not bad...word of mouth will tell you who is good and who is not. I love my groomer, and she loves Winston almost as much as I do. I encourage everyone to get to know the groomer you pick, ask questions, be involved.

| As a Yorkie owner, I see I'm.not the only one who has experienced that traumatic first cut when it was suppose to be a snip.. But then again some hairdressers don't get right either.. Scissor happy syndrome.... My baby went to Petco for a snip to get rid off straggled hair, when I picked him up he looked like a shaved chichihuaua.... I think I spelled it right lol.... I was ever so pissed hasn't been back since... |
