Quarantined People Tried Grooming Their Dogs And Realized What The Professionals Are For

[Submariner]

I never knew that groomers are actual artists at their work, compared to plain commoners like ourselves.

1. I couldn't stop laughing 😂 😂😂

3. My dog needs a haircut, he can't hardly see. I'm too afraid to get near him with clippers.

Especially near his eyes.

17. For the face, see if you can find a little pair of sharp scissors with very round tips...

I think they may have been intended to clip nose hair, but my mom always used them to clip the baby's nails. My husband uses the same type to clip stuff out of our little dog's fur if he can't work it out with his fingers while watching tv. (Before I went to the drug store and hunted up the round-headed pair he uses now, he was using some random ancient cuticle scissors with a sharp tip.)

Our dog's fur will completely cover her eyes if left alone. She's half poodle and half Lhasa Apso, and 100% wool. I wish now I'd taken a picture of my efforts to clear her face! I made it half-way across the top of her head before tiring, but she could certainly see where she was going.

Others were not as amused as I was -- I kept saying, "Your mom cuts your hair funny! " and laughing.

And now it's time to do it again.

ETA: get someone to hold the dog to keep him from jerking his head. I wouldn't have tried it without my husband doing that for me.

19. Order a pair of bandage scissors online

Used for cutting through bandages, round tip on one side, pointy on the other.

21. Thanks so much for the tips, that's really helpful.

Mine is half bichon and half Wheaton.

23. Have you tried cupping your fingers firmly around his eyes, with his fur pulled through them?

Then you just cut what’s outside your fingers... better than nothing.

4. I like the first one. Looks very hip.

The others...OMG!

My dogs are visiting their groomer today. They looked so raggedy. Poor groomer.

5. I clipped and groomed my standard poodles

for a while. Picture #5. I think it actually took me about a week to get her (the first one) all done. By the time my back gave out, my knees too, I was doing both of them. They never looked great but being farm dogs I would just clip them down to the shortest length I could get them. I only have one of them now and she goes to a groomer. These were great, thanks for the laugh.

6. I inherited a Sheltie

He required professional grooming every 6 weeks or so. At the time, the cost was not much (abt. $15). It worked out just fine until the groomer retired!

I tried to do it myself and oh my!

He did not know what an horrible job I had done trying to trim him up and as for clipping his nails, uh huh ... not so easy!

I think you did a pretty good job btw!



& recommend.

7. I have a half Great Pyrenees/half Anatolian Shepherd which has both inner and outer coats.

Even the largest guard will not allow the dense hair through so I had to try and cut her without a guard. It is too hot and humid for her to make it without a cut. Let's just say she looks worse than any of these pictures.

8. My little rescue Persian cat is an absolute mess. Just made an appointment

to see the groomer next week, and am grateful they're doing a drop-off service, to minimize person-to-person contact within the shop. She will probably need a quasi-lion cut to handle the matting, despite my efforts to keep her combed every day.

[lillypaddle]

9. Poor doggies

LOL'd though. This is why I won't cut my own hair.

[mgardener]

10. I needed this

Thank you.

PS. Glad I have cats.

11. One of my cats badly needs grooming but

she hates it and runs away whenever I approach her with any kind of brush or comb. I shudder to think what she'd look like if she'd let me near her with a clipper. When things open up a bit I'll have to take her to a pro for a lion cut because she'll tear my face off if I try.

12. Mistakes Were Made

13. I stumbled upon a dog groomers convention in

Hershey, PA. Wow! I had no idea. We actually just took a seat at the patio bar and watched and listened to their stories. Later in the evening, their star, celebrity, groomer showed up. You would have thought Elton John had entered the bar. It was kind of like being dropping into a scene from Best in Show. They are serious about what they do.

14. my sister and i tried to groom my shih tzu well before covid-19. we ended up taking her to the

groomer who made us promise to stay away from her with scissors and clippers..... [url=https://postimg.cc/gn8WBwgk][img][/img][/url]

15. The last one

looks like the person thought the dog was a sheep and was going to shear it. Oh my!

[iluvtennis]

16. LOL... Thanks for this post - I needed my giggle for today. nt

[Hekate]

18. I just laughed ao much!

[Bayard]

20. I think they look kind of sporty!

We have 3 Great Pyrenees. Double coated, mats easily. A spray de-matter, and a generic furminator work very well.

[Aristus]

22. I'm okay with the first two.

I've always disliked bearded dogs.

24. I swear Trey woke up the other day and said, "Momma, Please call Stephanie!"

25. My niece is in Pargue for her stay in place and is fostering a dog

He was pretty scruffy when she got him so she tried to groom him. I'm not sure if the organization that gave him to her to foster saw her facebook post - he was so messed up she got him a sweater to cover her mistakes - but they sent a groomer to her to do a better job.

She has obviously fallen in love with the little dog, but she cannot keep a pet. She spends six weeks away on assignment so owning a pet is not possible. That just adds to the enjoyment for now, having a pet again is great for her.

26. I can identify, my pup had an appointment in April that was moved to May and now that's canceled

I can brush him and snip a little at a time, but by the next day he looks just the same.

27. Some of those poor dogs didn't even look...

...like they needed a trim.
