    Yeah this groomer needs to be fired, I assume they have no training or experience. This is a pretty bad thing to do to certain breeds.

    Edit: looking at the context in the photo, this is either a really amateur home groomer or somebody just shaving their own dog. The caption might have been added later.

      I did an image search: this one has been kicking around since mid-2017. There are various captions with it.

        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.
