My poor puppy looks like a rat. He was a 5mo old darling Goldendoodle, but now he looks so sad and embarrassed! Normally I use the Waggin Wagon, a mobile pet groomer, but for some reason she didn't show up for her apt last week. I couldn't reach her (and still can't but that's another review) so I called Petsmart, where I have shopped in the past, to see if their grooming dept had an opening in the next day or two. What luck! They could fit me in that afternoon! In any case, they were very nice when I dropped him off. Since he had never been groomed there, I was very clear that I liked his curly fur (not to cut it too short) and I liked his tail with the long hair (part of the Golden Retriever look he has). But that I didn't want a poodle cut, so just something even all over. Honestly the bath was more important at that point that the cut anyway. When I came back 3 hours later, I didn't even recognize my dog. He looks SO BAD! His cut is uneven and they shaved his tail completely. Granted, he is easier to dry off after he has played outside, but only because he has NO FUR! I think I could have done better with a pair of childproof scissors. DON'T EVER GO THERE!!!
