I took my dog to petsmart for grooming and they cut his coat with a size 5 clippers. They told us they knew how to groom a Papillion (that they groom all types of dog breeds and know what to do) My daughter and I were so upset when we picked him up. Will his coat grow back and look good? He is 6 months old. I am shocked when strangers know that he is a papillion because he doesn’t look like one anymore. I just want to cry.
Thanks for you help.
I am so sorry this happened. Unfortunately there are lots of so called groomers in this area that own a pair of clippers and enjoy using them. Doesn’t mean they are qualified though….
Please see our grooming page http://showpaps.com/grooming.htm A Papillon can very easily be groomed at home.
The good news it will grow back and for now have fun with it. Your Papillon got a summer haircut and he is cool! By winter the coat should be well on its way to being a winter hairdoo! Just remember in the meantime to keep the hair on his pads trimmed and his toe nails short.
