Pet grooming is an artistry. Besides knowing how to keep pets calm and steady while styling their fur, groomers also create intricate shapes that require great attention to detail. We can only imagine how stressful a pet stylist's day can be, when working with poorly behaved animals while keeping on schedule.

Is that a dog or a Gremlin? Either way, I wouldn't feed it after midnight.
It takes a lot of work to clean and style a pet. Usually, the final result is reached after 7 steps are completed. First of all, the groomer will remove any mats or tangles before giving the animal a bath. That is also followed by trimming or clipping. Then the pet is brushed or combed, and only then it is time for a bath.
After such pampering, the groomer will dry the coat, and clean the eyes and ears, which will later be followed by a nail trim. This process can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the dog's size, hair length, and other intricacies.
Not every groomer is capable of what Kim is, but if you doubt that, we have selected a few posts on Bored Panda that will make you reconsider. In this post, 50 people took their dogs to the groomers and had to look twice when they got back, people took their dogs to the groomers and thought they got back the wrong dog, and quarantined people tried grooming their dogs and realized what the professionals are for.

I think the pre-cut pup is so much more adorable. The post-cut pup looks like it had a bad run-in with PhotoShop.

My dog Tucker was a wire-haired mixed (mostly) terrier. He was very sweet, but ugly. Of course I never told him he got shafted in the looks department. Well, a friend took him to the groomer as a birthday present for me. The groomer made Tucker look slightly less awful. She said he was the best behaved dog she'd ever done, and he enjoyed it. She tied a kerchief around his neck to go home with. That dog pranced around the house for three days like a kid pretending to be royalty. Tucker knew he looked good after his beauty shop appointment.

Yikes, I didn't like most of these. The dogs were so much cuter and had so much more personality before. They just look like bizarre, poufy stuffed animal afterwards.
