That rug is her own coat.
Varya is a Maltipoo. Under the curls, her coat had felted into one solid shell. You cannot brush that out. The clipper goes underneath, between the felt and the skin, slowly.
Shaving was not the failure. The months without a brush were.
She went home lighter, with a care plan. The coat will grow back.
We wrote that plan down for every dog owner. Comment PLAN and we will send it to you.
