Having a pup with delicate fur is no walk in the park. These dogs need a little extra attention, especially when it comes to grooming.
That’s why finding the right groomer is so important—because sometimes, things go sideways.
When one dog dad got a big surprise after a grooming appointment, he just had to share the moment online. And honestly, it’s hilarious.
Wait… Is This Even My Dog?
Biscuit’s owner dropped him off at the groomer, giving clear instructions: short on the back—but not too short.
Feeling confident, he left Biscuit in professional hands.
But when he came back to pick him up, he was completely thrown off. Biscuit’s back was shaved almost entirely!
Meanwhile, the fur on his legs and paws was untouched, making him look… a little like a dog in disguise. For a second, his owner genuinely thought it was the wrong pup.
It wasn’t until he noticed those unmistakable ears that he realized—yep, this fluffy mystery pup was Biscuit after all. He took him home and mentally added “find a new groomer” to his to-do list.
But first, he posted a video on TikTok to show Biscuit’s wild before-and-after.
The Internet Chimes In
The video quickly made the rounds, and tons of dog parents jumped into the comments to share their own grooming fails.
One user wrote: “On a positive note, it will grow back and be cooler for summer, BUT don’t go there again.”
Solid advice. It might not look great now, but Biscuit’s fur will bounce back soon, and he’ll be strutting his fluff again in no time.
Another person shared: “We’ve all been there. I take my cockapoo and have to double check it’s definitely my dog when I collect him.”
Turns out, this kind of mix-up isn’t all that rare. No wonder some pet parents need a second look at pickup.
Someone else nailed it with: “Nope he still has the wee floppy ear lol. That’s how I could tell haha.”
Moral of the story? A good groomer is gold.
Even though Biscuit’s fur has grown back, this funny little video lives on as a reminder of a grooming day that didn’t go quite as planned—but gave everyone a good laugh.
