Someone completely shaved my mom's dog like this, and now half of her fur won't grow back.
Yeah, post-shaving alopecia is a thing, especially in double coated breeds. (Which is part of the reason you're supposed to avoid shaving them.)
The petco groomer decided to shave my dogs' entire ass because he "didn't want to brush out butt tangles today", his exact words when we went to collect our dog.
He's a great Pyrenees Collie mix.
His hair went from long and silky with an undercoat, to frizzy, thick, unmanageable mess that has to be brushed twice a day to prevent mats.
Congrats bitch, now my dog will never have his hair be normal again because you didn't want to do your job right.
That sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you.
What was the breed?
She's a pomeranian mix I think
Oh yeah. That’s the one breed I read about whose coat will get damaged if it’s shaved. I’m sorry to hear about the dog.
