Pet Grooming is one of the most essential parts of owning a pet. Most pet owners seek help from professional pet groomers to groom their pets. Professional pet groomers are usually good at their job. However, sometimes they may misunderstand the instructions that the pet owners give them and the pets end up with disastrous haircuts. Also, sometimes pet owners groom their pets at home and give their pets a haircut which may not turn out as expected. Although it is very unfortunate for our pets, these pictures surely provide us with some laughs and they also gain popularity on social media sites. Let us look at the Top 10 Viral
pet grooming Photos.rn1. THE ‘BOBBLE HEADED’ HUSKY
The pet owner of a Husky was in for a shock after taking her pet for a grooming session. As she shared on her Twitter account, she had taken her pet to a new groomer with instructions “He needs to be shaved just ENOUGH so he wouldn’t shed as much anymore.” Unfortunately, they took her instructions too seriously and shaved the dog to the very last strand of fur. The poor husky ended up looking like he had a bobblehead. The Husky is a double-coated breed of dog which means that they have two coats of fur and ideally one should never completely shave a husky but just trim off the excess hair. Needless to say, neither the owner nor the dog was too pleased with the shave.
Since the day it was shared, the picture has received more than 193K likes, 44K retweets and 3.2K comments on Twitter. While most people found the pictures extremely hilarious, some people sympathized with the owner. There were also some who also blamed the owner claiming that she did not give clear instructions to the groomer.
2. THE ‘NOODLE-HEAD’ POODLE
A dog owner shared her disappointment on Twitter when her mom gave her pet a really funny haircut. Her mom had shaved off the entire fur from the dogs’ body except for a little bit of fur on the top of the head. It looked like the dog had a bunch of noodles on the top of its head. The mom blamed it on the dog by saying that he wanted ‘to keep it long on the top’. People found these pictures extremely funny and some even posted comparison pictures. The twitter post has earned 52,161 Retweets and 107,255 Likesrn

Giving your dog a lion haircut is a popular trend these days. However, this haircut may not suit all dogs, as one family discovered when they took their dog for a groom. The owner had wanted to give his dog a haircut and since the dog had a ‘double coated’ fur he instructed the groomer to give his dog a ‘lion cut’. A lion cut is where the dog’s body hair is cut short and the hair on the neck and head is kept a little longer so that it resembles a lion’s mane.
However, in this case, the pet groomer didn’t give the right cut and it looked like he had shaved only half of the dogs’ body. The owner posted his reaction on YouTube in which he can be heard laughing hysterically while the dog looks very confused with his new haircut. The video has received more than 2 million views on YouTube.rnPic Source:
