15 animals too embarrassed to leave the house because their parents’ grooming went awry
We’ve all been stuck doing our own hair in quarantine. But the truly unlucky among us have had to rely on the amateurs we’re locked down with to give us a hand.
Of course, most of us can protest if we sense things going wrong. Unless you’re a dog, that is.
With groomers closed, many pet owners tried their own hands at the profession. And let’s just say there’s a reason people are trained and paid to do this!
Here are 15 dogs that are going to have to wait for their fur to grow out before they can show their faces at the dog park again:
1. Bangs are almost never a good idea
If even this adorable dog can’t pull off bangs, you need to step away from the scissors.

2. Leave it long on top
This man’s wife asked him to trim the dog’s fur.
Hopefully that’s the last time she’ll make that request.
Groomer closed due to Covid19. Wife told me to trim the dog. Hold my beer. from r/aww
3. He would like a refund
We would be demanding our money back if this ever happened to us.
At least give the pup some extra treats!

4. At least it grows back
This poor pup looks more like a bunny than a dog after his haircut.
Be sure to scroll to the second photo to see the damage.
5. Turkey travesty
We hope the weather is warm wherever this little bare-bodied pup lives.
Next time we hope this owner waits for the groomer or at least changes the blade on the trimmers.
For those that need a laugh. About a week ago my sister gave her dog a ‘trim’ at home with the clippers. I can’t stop looking at her tiny pink turkey body. pic.twitter.com/5w5pZp3ZEs

6. Do you think this is a joke?
These dogs appeared to get some intentionally “creative” cuts – including a mohawk.
They’ll probably never misbehave at the groomers again.

7. There are no words
This dog’s defeated facial expression says it all.
8. Someone take the trimmers
This poor dog looks pretty angry at his new haircut.
And wouldn’t you be?
9. Trust, broken
No one will be as happy to see their hairdresser after quarantine as their poor pup.
It looks like a toddler got ahold of some scissors.

10. Chin-chillin’
This dog looks like a seal.
But at least he or she is still smiling!
HELP ME!! My Mom did my grooming. I was in desperate need about 4 weeks ago… I look like a chinchilla! pic.twitter.com/6IETaPwjlZ

11. Too much off the top
Aww, poor pup. It’ll be a few weeks before he feels the wind through his fur again.
At least his mom realizes her mistake.
12. Patchy pooch
How did this uneven cut even happen? Did someone just take kitchen shears and cut wherever they wanted?
Didn’t they at least watch a video first?
Guess who won’t be asked to groom the dog again #isolationhaircut pic.twitter.com/8E7hyARYkC

13. Full of regrets
This dog is probably wondering why he didn’t just run and hide instead of sitting still for this crappy cut.

14. Apology not accepted
It might take a while for this previously puffy fella to get over his disastrous home salon experience.
I, too, gave my dog a deeply regrettable quarantine haircut. I’m so sorry, son. from r/aww
15. Hobo chic
This dog looks like he went from riches to rags thanks to his owner.
Poor pup.
Before and after mum tried to ‘groom’ the dog 😭 poor Alfie. pic.twitter.com/HsSbVwoXcW
