I brought my puppy in for a trim a couple of weeks ago...He was about 5 months old at the time....When I brought him in, I told them I wanted to get the puppy trim, (that was what they suggested), so I said ok...When I picked him up a few hours later, he looked exactly the same except that they gave him a bath...My question is...did I get ripped off, cause they didnt touch one hair on him, or are you not supposed to cut puppies hair until there a little older? I think they trimmed his nails down but I know they did not touch his hair.

should always ask ppl what they do and what their services are, that way you get all the facts straight up........puppies need haircuts too so sounds like they ripped you off. :-(

All depends on the breed of the dog. Typically a puppy cut is a fluffy. full bodied style. Some breeds have "patterns" like cockers & schnauzers and even the puppy cuts utilize the pattern. Unfortunately, if you didn't say anything within a day or so, you probably won't get any freebies. 5 month old puppies can certainly get their hair cut and they should have trimmed around his privates, his paws, and his eyes even if they just gave him a bath.

Since you haven't specified the breed, it is hard to give you a specific answer. I would go to a different groomer next time. It sounds as if you did not receive the desired results from this one. Keep in mind though that If it was his first grooming and he was very nervous, many groomers will opt to try to adjust him to the noises associated with the clippers as opposed to proceeding with the cut. (I have a Lhaso rescue who was absolutely terrified and after this method actually looks forward to her puppy cuts now). It only takes one bad experience to put a dog off grooming for good. If this was the case, they should have informed you of this. Call them and tell them about your concerns. You are owed an explanation and a refund for the cut, but if they are not honest you won't see a penny.

a puppy cut is a real cut.
imagine a poodle that had never had its hair cut. a puppy cut would cut all the hair short, and the puppy would be curly all over. but a puppy cut on a cocker spaniel wouldn't look very different from the way you brought the dog in.
and on a chihuahua, there really wouldn't be anything to cut.

I would find out what is all included in a "trim." Maybe a trim at that groomer is different than what you are used to... Maybe they did actually trim a small amount of fur... I would talk to the manager and find out.

long haired puppies can get trims whenever short hair i'm not too sure but if you specifically asked for a hair cut they should have done that for you.

your canines isn't disenchanted approximately how she looks, canines do not care... case in point, all canines love rolling in fox poo and don't care how undesirable they stink!! it won't be able to be chilly in Greece today of 12 months so she will't be chilly. The bypass to to the groomer could have been stressful. How properly knowledgeable became the groomer? Did you bypass to a place propose via somebody else? propose you detect a qualified groomer the subsequent time. and ensure you comb your canines to sidestep wanting one in each and every of those radial trim the subsequent time.
