Oh gawd, she's went clipper happy on her hasn't she
Bless her heart, they've clipped her nose so short you can see the pink underneath
She looks cute with the bows though

I was thinking she looks just like my parents toy poodles after they get groomed.Originally Posted by Pami
I have never seen or heard a groomer put bows in a Bichon. I think she gave you a poodle shave down.
Nat, have you called her to see why she shaved Izzy down?Originally Posted by wishiwas
I'm not sure why people are thinking the bows are so strange... We put bows on quite a few small breeds where I work because so many of the owners were requesting it before it was routine.
I will agree the cut does not look good. Are you sure there wasn't any matting on her body that would have caused them to shave her?
She's a very cute little dog. What is she? She really doesn't look pure poodle or bichon to me..
Did she explain to you why she clipped her down? If she was matted, and with that pink sensitive skin, she may not have wanted to risk trying to comb her out...I know, as a groomer, I try not to comb out badly matted dogs...I explain to the owner that the hair will grow back and if they are consistent in bringing the dog in, then we can start leaving the coat longer again...Originally Posted by white cat lover
Izzy got groomed today....shaved!!
I paid $25 to have someone groom her & it's not at all what I wanted, I did not want her shaved!
I asked for her paws/legs trimmed as that's where she mats the worst & an evening out of her hair.
This is the end result, my poor nekkid girl.Poofy head & little nekkid body.
NEVER going back to that woman again!!
I am worried about her sunburning now....she has no fur & that pasty pink little skin.
Ummmm...as a groomer, bows ARE NOT just for poodlesOriginally Posted by Pami
Im glad you took those bows outThat shows she didnt know what she was doing. Actually that is what they do with poodles.
Oh, poor little girl! You should mention that to the groomer, so she can learn from her mistake and not do it to another poor little pup...Originally Posted by white cat lover
Oh...and she goes to the vet on monday for hairloss now. She's developed "hot spots" all over her body, & she's sunburnt in a few places despite sunblock.
Those hotspots are likely due to the sunblock; I know your intentions were good to put it on, but sunblock on a dog that is actually not 'bald' (like a crested, or mex hairless) only create a horrible oily coat, that keeps excess heat in...even with as short of a coat that she had, conditions like that can create hotspots.Originally Posted by white cat lover
She wasn't matted, that's what has me so pissed. Yes, she did have a few mats I'm sure.....but dang I've seen matted animals that require shaving at the shelter.....this was waaaayyyy extreme.
