A dog owner means well for her Sheepadoodle.
Grooming is a must.
But after the hairdresser's visit, she doesn't recognize her four-legged friend and he doesn't recognize himself.
Dog grooming is important and an essential part of making a four-legged friend feel comfortable in his own skin.
It helps prevent skin problems such as alopecia and improves overall appearance.
Tangles play a big role here.
They occur when the wool hairs (undercoat) get caught together and form small knots.
If fur care is neglected too much, it can result in real felt sheets.
Germs or mites settle and this leads to skin irritations that can cause itching, inflammation and eczema.
Mites are often a reason why dogs bite between their paws.
The right fur care
It doesn't always make sense to clip a dog.

For most dog breeds, regular brushing is sufficient to remove loose hair, undercoat and dirt.
However, some breeds that shed little or no hair should be trimmed.
A complete shearing, however, should be carefully considered.
Dog hairdresser and fur expert Franziska Knabenreich says: “There is only one coat that can be shaved.
This is the single-layer coat – i.e. without an undercoat – that does not shed”.
A dog owner from Texas probably didn't take this all that seriously and took her Sheepadoodle (bobtail/poodle hybrid dog) to the groomer for grooming.
It's not entirely clear whether she wanted to have him clipped there or just trimmed.
But she doesn't seem to be completely satisfied with the result.
This can be seen in her video under the account @biscuit_the_sheepadoodle
on
Instagram.
She writes: “Have you ever had a haircut and then attacked yourself”?
Her male dog Biscuit seems anything but happy about his new hair.
As soon as he sees himself in the mirror, he wants to attack himself.
This causes a lot of amusement online.
The clip received more than 11,000 likes within a very short time.

It's more about the feeling that you can quickly find yourself in the video shown.
After all, a visit to the hairdresser is not always the best.
When it comes to the dog itself, appearance plays a minor role.
Dogs cannot recognize themselves in the mirror.
Rather, in their reflection they suspect an alien conspecific and react accordingly.
What may be a priority for the Sheepadoodle Biscuit is whether he feels comfortable in his own skin.
This is hardly the case when there are mats in the dog's fur.
The community commented sympathetically on the video:
“Is that the same dog?”
“The confusion is real.”
😂
"Who is this?
This is so cute".

Trimming or shearing – what are the differences:
Trimming refers to the removal of dead or excessive fur to promote the growth of healthy hair.
This method is most often used on dogs with wiry or double-layered coats, such as terriers or German Shepherds.
Hand trimming:
Hand trimming involves removing dead hair by hand using special scissors or a trimming knife.
This method requires patience and experience to achieve a consistent result.
Machine Trimming:
Machine trimming involves using electric clippers to trim fur to a specific length.
This method is suitable for dogs with thick fur, but can cause the fur to become softer and lose its natural texture.
Scissors:
Shearing refers to trimming the fur evenly using scissors or electric clippers.
This method is mostly used on dogs with long or curly fur.
However, this should only happen in a few exceptional cases.
Even shearing:
When shearing, the entire coat is trimmed to an even length.
This method is most often used on dogs with long or thick fur, but can cause the fur to lose its natural texture and protective function.
Contour shearing:
Contour shearing involves trimming specific areas of the coat, such as the face, ears and paws, to a specific length to create a clean and groomed appearance.
This method is suitable for dogs with long fur that require precise grooming.
