If you have a pet, you probably understand that they have several different looks and those looks solely depend on their current haircut. One minute, your Yorkshire Terrier will resemble a bear and the next moment, he will look like a small baby deer. They are both adorable, but oh so different.
So, have you ever dropped your pet off at the groomer only to come back and feel like your picking up a different animal? Their fur is their identity and when it changes, it really changes everything about them! We found the 60 best before and after groomer transformations and they are hilarious.
1. Fluffy Pom
This Pomeranian went from an absurdly fluffy pillow to a… panda bear? He is still super fluffy before and after the groomer but the after is more ball-like. It’s a little ball of love!
2. Took doggo to the groomer
This Reddit user took their dog to the groomer and “got a different doggo back.” Yep, we would say that is absolutely a different dog. From shaggy to clean-cut!
3. Hot dog
Literally, this dog was hot. So it only made sense that the cute one-eyed guy got a hair cut! “It’s 32°C degrees (90°F) outside, so my dog, One-eyed Snuggles, needed a groomer,” the owner wrote.
4. Wrong dog
“Every time Luna gets a haircut I feel like I have the wrong dog,” this pup’s owner wrote. Makes sense because one dog weighs about 100 pounds less than the other dog!
5. A clean dog
“A clean chonker is a happy chonker,” this person wrote. We couldn’t agree more. Dogs just don’t look comfortable when they have a ton of fur hanging in their face. And we love happy dogs!
6. How to age backward
This is what Mojito looks like before and after getting her hair cut. Does she look 10 years younger or what?!
7. Clean beard
This is Darcy. She used to have a wet, dirty beard and now she has a beautiful, polished beard. The end!
8. Summer cut
Dogs get hot in the summer, too! We change from sweaters to tank tops and we gotta do the same for them and give them a good summer cut.
9. Charlie
Wow, at first, Charlie looked like he had gray hair. Then he got a haircut and boom, it is pure white! What a cute little snow ball!
10. Clean puppy
This pup’s mouth was all wet and darkened. Now it is so sharp and clean! Loving it.
11. There’s Millie’s face!
Funny how Millie’s face looks like it was slowly starting to disappear. But now it is popping out and looking so beautiful!
12. Poofy pup
Don’t worry, if you like your pup to be poofy, they still can be! This dog went from overly poofy to just the right amount of poof.
13. Definitely a different dog
This dog went from beige to white. We’re pretty sure it didn’t actually go to the groomer — it went to a magician.
14. Another snowball
This is Ross. He still looks like a snow ball before and after, but with a little less curly Q action now. We’re into it!
15. Eyelashes
This dog may have gotten a haircut, but we’re so happy her eyelashes stayed long and beautiful!
16. Comet
After the haircut, Comet’s beautiful face is really popping out! Feels nice to be able to see it!
17. Look at those legs!
Those legs look so thick before the cut and then after, it feels like we can actually see them! They are long too!
18. Dizzy
This is Dizzy! Before her haircut, she may have actually felt dizzy since it looks like she wasn’t able to see anything. Too much fur in her eyes before but now she can see!
19. Five hours later
“5 hours and a completed 9 month old Bernadoodle later,” this Reddit user wrote. It might have taken a long time but it was so worth it!
20. Oh, the confusion
One haircut later and you’re not even sure who this animal is anymore. “First haircut, is this still my dog?” His owner wrote. Tough to tell.
21. When you can see your own face again
This dog’s hair was so long, it was going over his eyes. He couldn’t even see! Post-cut though, his eyes are wide open and he is most likely enjoying his newfound sight.
22. A real lady
“Sophie is crazy cute no matter what cut she gets, but I finally got to poodle her today,” this Reddit user shared. “18 months and has never had her feet/face shaved, but she was a total champ. I rarely get poodle cut requests, so I love the practice.”
23. Definitely a different creature
“Back to grooming after a year hiatus,” their owner wrote. “Not nearly as beautiful as some of the other grooms here but Bentley was so cute (and matted).”
24. Major transformation
I mean, this has to be two different Yorkies, right? There is no way that’s the same little pup in each photo!
25. First haircut
This was the dog’s first haircut, so you can imagine how weird and confused he must have felt when it was all over and suddenly he felt 10 pounds lighter.
26. Chewbacca?
Chewbacca, is that you? Oh, now you’re a Yorkie again. Interesting transformation.
27. Time for a new life
New haircut, new life. This dog looks just about ready to start a brand-new one!
28. Time to start grooming again
“I stopped grooming 22 years ago,” this Reddit user shared. “My 6th groom since my return. I’ve missed it.” They did a fantastic job too — keep groomin’!
29. A little Asian fusion
30. Groomed Yorkie
You know what they say — a groomed Yorkie is a happy Yorkie. Okay, they don’t actually say that, but it is true. And it’s a much cuter Yorkie, too.
31. Perfect Pom
This adorable Pom just went from big snowball to small snowball. So, so cute either way!
32. Don’t forget to accessorize
What’s better than a haircut? A haircut that comes with rainbow pom poms. You can never have too many accessories.
33. Big day
This person is exhausted after grooming their dog and we can’t say we blame them. It does seem pretty exhausting, especially if it’s a big dog!
34. One very fluffy Pom
This Pom went from very fluffy to still fluffy, but just a little bit less. And again — they accessorized! Look at that dashing bow tie.
35. Different kind of cut
Have you ever seen a poodle with a mohawk? Well, now you have!
36. Not to shabby
Or should we say… Shaggy? Ha!
37. Major refresh
Bandit went into the groomer looking kind of messy, but she came out looking so refreshed and clean!
38. Are we sure this is the same dog?
Who can confirm? We need answers because honestly, looking at these photos, we’re not too sure!
39. Check out that shape
Is this not the most epic shaping you’ve ever seen? This cute pup went from shaggy rug to a perfect sphere. The groomer definitely deserves a raise!
40. Look at that adorable face!
He went from shaggy curly Qs to smooth fur. We are digging it!
41. Bedazzled Poodle
This Poodle looked a little crazy at first (look at that grey, grumpy hair!) but now it looks so cute! Like a bedazzled little pillow with that bow.
42. From rug to dog
Before his haircut, you couldn’t even really see him. Where’s his face? We don’t know — too much shag! That is, until he got a fresh cut.
43. Major transformation
This dog didn’t just get trimmed up — they got shaped up. Almost like a chiseled sculptor! That’s because this dog was meant to be a show dog.
44. Look at that tail
This pooch’s tail is down and frowning before their haircut. Then it is pointing high up — clearly so happy — after their cut!
45. Diet or just a haircut?
It’s pretty funny how a simple haircut can totally transform a dog’s body. After cutting off so much excess hair, this pup looks 20 pounds lighter!
46. From dog to Barbie
If a dog could be a Barbie doll, this is what it would look like. This little Yorkie just went from regular dog to full-on Barbie. Look at that necklace!
47. Squint no more
This pup used to have to squint to see anything. They had too much fur in their eyes! That is until, you guessed it, they got a cut. Their eyes are wide open now.
48. Permanent bedhead
This dog used to look like they were suffering from a permanent bedhead but now with this new cut, they will always look fresh. No matter how long they sleep!
49. Bye bye, winter coat
This pup is prepping for summer! Naturally, they had to get rid of that thick winter coat. Ah, feel the breeze.
50. Teddy bear
This dog still looks like a teddy bear after their cut, but now they’re just a little bit cleaner… A little bit sharper. When they look comfortable, they feel comfortable!
51. Chic
Is it just us, or did this pup’s fur go from tousled beach waves to smooth and flat ironed? Hm, we wonder. Or maybe it’s just magic.
52. Princess Leia
Princess Leia, is that you? We can’t help but to think it is, with those fluffy, ball-like ears and all.
53. That’s a teddy bear
Okay, there is no way that is not a teddy bear. We refuse to believe it is anything else.
54. Summer is coming
Summer is coming in Australia so you know what that means — fresh doggy grooms all around. Gotta shed those natural coats for ultimate comfort!
55. Subtle
This haircut is a little bit more subtle, but it still manages to make this dog look like a completely different animal. It’s funny how small changes can make such a visual impact!
56. Feisty
Some pups get tired after a haircut while others get super feisty. Can you blame them? When you look great and feel light, that can be energizing. Of course they’d want to show it off! Look at this yoga pose!
57. Fuzzy boy
Look at that fuzz! First he looks like a grumpy old man and then he looks like a smooth, tiny puppy.
58. A new discovery
When your fur is long and you think it’s just white but then you shave it only discover you’re actually covered in spots… Woah!
59. Completely different dog
I’m sorry but the first dog is a very big, shaggy rug. The second is a very small animal. Please tell us how that could make sense!
60. First haircut
At one year old, this pup had their first haircut! And boy, we can see the difference. We bet they loved it.
