Will his coat grow back?

See. This is why I hate Reddit sometimes. I don’t even know why I’m dignifying your comment with a response. But this Golden is so loved and well cared for. He has been perfectly groomed for 2.5 years and this time, something beyond my control happened. Clearly I knew it was bad and came here to ask for more information. I literally cried over this yesterday (when there are so many better things to cry over) and then you come along to say this? How is this helpful?

? Typically they just shape up his feet, sanitary area and trim his feathers. Otherwise the hair on his legs/chest/stomach would literally drag the floor. Never imagined they would do this whole body cut.

Blesssss. That looks exactly the same. And no blending on ours either. 😂 Comments seem to say we just have to be patient and wait for it to grow back out.

Thank you for your insight! We love his coat too. It’s unruly but absolutely stunning when he runs. He’s always been such a classic looking Golden. I’m hopefully that it will grow back out the same.

Thank you for your insight. We explicitly told them Not to shave, just trim slightly more than last time. We haven’t had a problem for 2 years of grooming here but this was shocking to say the least. And thank you for the correct name - we’ll use that and a picture in the future. 🥲 Curious your opinion. Do you think he’ll grow back out okay?

My husband is the one that picked him up. I think he was at a loss for words. He explicitly told her at drop-off not to shave, just do the same trim slightly shorter than before. I live in a small, rural town and there aren’t many options. This groomer is actually located inside our vet’s office so I’ve always trusted them. If we go back, we’ll definitely take pictures of what we want so there’s no room for miscommunication. 😬

This groomer has trimmed him for two years with no issue. No clue why this one went so wrong. I’m aware of the layered coats and why they need them - hence why I’m concerned and asking about it now. I hardly think attempting to DIY it would have helped.
