The Pelted Pup and the Payment Plot Twist”

It all started when the client messaged me to book a grooming appointment. She mentioned her dog might be a little matted—yes, with air quotes like it was no big deal. I’ve heard that one before, but okay.

Day of the appointment rolls around, and I’ve got everything ready to go live on TikTok (with her consent). She’s tuned in, watching the whole thing as I start grooming. And y’all… the moment I put clippers to fur, it was game over. Her dog wasn’t just matted—she was pelted. One solid sheet of fur, clinging to the skin like armor.

I keep going, carefully shaving her down as the truth is revealed live, patch by patch. The chat’s going wild, and so is the realization hitting her.

Then—out of nowhere—she steps aside to call her mom… because she didn’t have the funds. And after that? She hits me with the “Do you have a buy now, pay later option?”

Ma’am. You booked the appointment. Watched the whole thing unfold live. And now you’re trying to Klarna a dog groom?

I’m just here trying to help your dog breathe under all that fur—and now I’m in a financial thriller.

Groomers really do it all.
