Taking your dog for a grooming session can feel like spinning a wheel of fortune. With many pets going without a proper wash and cut for ages due to social isolation, their transformations can be dramatic. Owners on social media often find their dogs unrecognizable post-grooming, jokingly suggesting groomers might be mixing up pets. Let’s enjoy the most hilarious ‘not my dog’ moments shared by confused owners for an ultimate cuteness overload.
Looks like he’s sober now
You’d think he finally gave up drinking after getting a haircut. Take note, humans.
Beautiful baby
“This is the same dog. My friend adopted her after she just showed up on her porch. I groomed her and made her brand new babe feeling so fresh and clean. She had to have all her teeth removed, she had a giant sore on her leg and under her tail, and she was a giant matted mess.” – Reddit
