Dog whiskers?

No it's not a bad thing. Some groomers do it all the time. Show dogs have their whiskers cut off also. They will grow back.

Not to worry.......they'll grow back. I take me dog to get a summer cut when the weather gets hot and they trim his whiskers......they grow back, just like their hair grows back.

Relax, those whiskers'll grow back before u know it.

My poodle gets that every time she's groomed.

They always grow back, in normal condition of course.

If your dog's a hunter then take it as a 'day off' on hunting. :)

It's perfectly fine, no harm's done..
