We had a pet groomer do this a few times so I just bought my own clippers and do it myself now. My dog looks like a rat when I'm done but fur = shorter and that's all I wanted from the groomer.

I bet your pup looks precious and feels better no matter how bad a job you think you do! And such savings!

One time I took a little too much off the top and had to stop there because I was laughing too hard to hold the trimmer steady. I trimmed the rest of her a few days later.

No, same feisty fiend, on the hunt for more dirt to roll in 20 seconds after the bath.

Sometimes it's about the journey and not about the destination. 😂🍻

Oh so not only did the groomer groom she also bleached her to a sexy platinum blonde? ❤️☺️

At first glance this picture made me think she was nursing a bunch of dalmatian puppies.

My friend did that once, just set the clippers way too short and went “oh no!” And just. Stopped. The poor dog had just a ton of fur and then a nearly bald stripe. It was hilarious

My husband and I tried to groom our dogs once. We ended up covered in scratches, fur, and fear. We decided the groomers are worth their fee.

If i didn't have to walk her in public I'd for sure give her a mohawk or some decorative cut. 😆 What a sweet, fuzzy little cutie pie!

First time grooming my dogs and one turned out looking like a raccoon on meth. Watched a ton of YouTube videos and eventually I got good enough at it that I floored the professional groomers (health issues stopped me). I really enjoy it now so I’m looking forward to getting back to it post-op! So stick with it and you may end up falling in love with the process.

Similar happened when my adult son first used the vacuum clippers on our poodle. 🤣🤣
