There are plenty of animal lovers who adore their pets, no matter how they appear. However, grooming is a vital part of pet care and hygiene. These dogs looked like disheveled balls of fluff before heading out to their local groomer.

After being bathed and trimmed, they appear ready for a dog show. From revealing endearing facial expressions to restoring plush fur, these pet groomers knew what they were doing. You won't believe the incredible transformation of these precious dogs.

There Are Those Pleading Eyes

This sweet pooch may have been adorable before, but you could hardly see his face! His long fur not only blocked his big eyes but also appears to have trapped some crumbs.

After a trip to the groomer, this dog's fur looks soft as your favorite throw blanket. Best of all, you can see his big eyes and sweet smile. Now the owner might not have to worry about food and dirt piling up in their pet's fur, but they will have to resist the power of puppy eyes.

This pup looked like a little lion before a trip to the groomers. Her long fur was so frizzy and straight that it looked like a mane. While we love the fluffy look, nothing beats the teddy bear appearance of her after photo.

As cute as the pooch was before, after a trim, she looked ready for a dog calendar photoshoot. The shorter fur looks much silkier and healthful, making her look as pristine as a plush toy.

Based on the before photo, there's no doubt that this dog was due for a trip to the groomer. Though his fur was fluffy and soft, it was getting stringy around the face and overpowering the pup's adorable expression.

A haircut revealed a layer of bright white fur that makes this little dog stand out like a star. Where before the dog looked dirty and disheveled, he now looks clean as new and cute as a button.

This before photo is a great example of a dog who looked perfectly fine before the groomer. Though his shaggy hair was covering his eyes, it's part of what added to his cuteness and charm.

Though the canine looked fine before, the after photo revealed just how impressive a trip to the groomers can be. If he looked like a regular dog before, he looked like a show dog after a gorgeous trim. From his smooth stout to his fluffy legs, this pooch is dapper as can be.

This pup didn't look too pleased with his shaggy hair before being groomed. While dogs may not be as self-conscious about their appearance as humans, that doesn't mean they aren't bogged down by wild fur.

In the after photo, this canine seems rejuvenated as a person who's just spent the afternoon in a spa. He's wearing a big, happy expression and as he stands to show off his fresh coat and clean, trimmed snout.

This dog's fur was so long before her trip to the groomer that it looked like locks of hair! We can imagine those long, straight strands must have been a nuisance to the pooch, who could barely even see through such long fur.

The canine looks wholly transformed after a trip to the groomer. Standing on all fours, she seems much perkier now that she doesn't have all that fur in her way. Plus, her coat seems softer and healthier than before.

Perfect As A Plush Toy

Before a visit to the groomer, this dog looked sad and shy, hiding behind her disheveled fur like a shield. Though the canine wasn't very dirty and her coat wasn't mat or stringy, the pooch still seemed dissatisfied with her appearance.

In the after photo, the dog looks like her confidence has been renewed. She's sitting tall and proud in her trimmed, fluffy coat. Her poofy head fur looks like a perfect style while the rest of her coat is silky and bright.

From Unkempt To Picture Perfect

This dog's fur was so unkept before going to the groomer that you couldn't even see her eyes. Her spiky head fur looked like it was inspired by the band members of Kiss, and her snout fur was so long that she probably got a furball whenever eating.

After a trip to the groomer, this dog looks prim and proper. Her coat is soft and delicate, and wild fur no longer buries her sweet face.

There's That Cute Little Face

Before being groomed, this little dog looked like something you'd find rummaging through the trash in a dark alley. His shaggy fur was out of sorts and his face was barely discernable in all that black fur.

After a groom, this pooch looks like the happy house pet he is. His fur is lighter, softer, and more even. His facial expression is noticeable and positively darling. Even his ears appear more round like that of a teddy bear.

No Longer Hidden In Her Shaggy Fur

We love curly dog coats as much as the next pet owner, but this pet's fur was starting to overpower the adorable pup. Though you can't immediately tell, it's clear by the after photo that her coat was much too long, giving her the appearance of being much larger.

After a trip to the groomer, this pup's soft fur is restored, and her tiny build apparent. Based on her big smile in the after photo, it seems this pooch is relieved to no longer be bogged down by her thick coat.

From Wild To Proper

In the before photo, this dog looked more like a wild animal than a house pet. Her shaggy hair had completely swallowed up her precious face. Not only was her coat out of sorts, but her nails appeared to be much too long.

After visiting the groomer, this pet looks like a completely different dog. Her soft fur is a deep grey and her gentle expression reveals that she is merely a sweet pet looking for some love.

This dog looked positively comical before being groomed. His curly fur was so grown out that it completely covered his eyes! We're not sure how this pet made it around the house without being able to see, let along navigated the outdoors.

After a much-needed trim, he looks soft as a cotton ball! His big, round eyes are revealed to show his eager but gentle demeanor. Though dogs rely primarily on their sense of smell, we're confident that this one is grateful to be able to see again.

You know your dog needs a haircut when they look like a giant dust bunny. That certainly was the case with this pooch, whose hair was so long that you could barely discern his face from the rest of his body.

Though this pup seemed happy as a clam before his trip to the vet, we're willing to bet that he wasn't a fan of having his fur constantly obstructing his vision. As fun as his shaggy coat may have been to play with, it looks silkier than ever in the after photo.

After being groomed, this canine's eyes pop, and his fur is so inviting that you just want to bury your face into it.

Before being groomed, there was nothing about this dog to draw in the attention of others. Afterward, you can see just how distinct this canine is based on his darling facial expression.

One unique characteristic revealed after being groomed is the dog's gray eyebrows, which make him look comically human-like. His soft fur makes his ears all the more bouncy, adding to his charm. If it was easy to look past this dog before his haircut, we'd bet that now it's just about impossible to walk by without noticing that precious face.

From Straw Fur To Model Material

It's no secret that this dog was in need of a haircut. Not only was her fur long, but it's so stick-straight that it had the appearance of straw. Though her coat likely felt soft even before being groomed, it was less attractive merely because of how it pointed in all directions.

The groomer transformed this pet into a dog so picture-perfect, she could be a model. Her dark eyes look huge now that her fur isn't in the way, and her little body looks soft as a plush toy.

There Are Those Big Ears

Though this pup's coat wasn't necessarily getting in the way before he was groomed, it certainly was looking frazzled. The frizzy fur didn't exactly scream, "Come pet me!"

After getting a trim, this pup's coat is revealed to be smooth and inviting. Plus, the haircut underscores how tiny his body is, and how comparatively giant his ears are. We find those big, pink ears to be all the more charming, especially on such a little dog.

Too Precious To Be Real

We love the stoic expression on this dog's face in the after photo. It's as though he knows that he's a charming house pet, and he's proud of it! We can't say the same of the before photo, in which the shaggy dog looks like he isn't fond of being photographed.

After a trip to the groomer, this canine's short coat revealed his long limbs, soft fur, and posh expression. The dog looks so perfect in the after photo that he could practically be a toy.

As adorable as white fur is, the downside is that it stains easily. That problem is apparent in this dog's before photo, wherein she has brown discoloration around her mouth and at her paws.

That was taken care of the moment the groomer trimmed this darling pooch. Not only is her fur as radiant as freshly fallen snow, but it's also perfectly smoothed out. Now she is so pristine that she almost doesn't look real.

Fluffy And Bright

This sweet dog had healthy and clean fur before heading to the groomer, but it was a little too fluffy. The poor thing was practically drowning in his shaggy coat. After a trip to the groomer, this dog looks like he owns his fur, rather than his fur owning him.

As snuggly as the canine's longer fur appeared, his trimmed coat is much softer looking. We would bet that this owner couldn't wait to cuddle with this freshly-groomed pet.
