Shih Tzu puppy’s very first groom 💕
Because she had to wait until she was fully vaccinated, her coat got a little overwhelming at home and ended up severely matted. By the time she came to me, a fresh start was the kindest option for her comfort.
Not my favorite way to introduce a puppy to grooming but sometimes it’s necessary. Think less “haircut” and more… tiny sheep shearing 🐑✂️ (that “rug” next to her in the after pic? yep… all one piece!)
The goal was to get her clean, comfortable, and feeling good again. I used Bio-Groom shampoo to help soothe her skin after the shave, and she handled it like a champ 🫶
Now she’s ready to start fresh and stay on a regular schedule!
