It seems like there’s an irresistible gravitational pull that draws us to scissors. I mean, we all know very well what the quarantine haircut is. If you’re one of the few lucky ones who hasn’t experienced it (just yet,) check out our previous post on people doing their hair in the lockdown. Spoilers: it ended badly.
But this time, the dogs are taking the hit. Because people have somehow come to the conclusion that grooming their four-legged friend at home is a must-do. “I don’t think he’ll ever trust a human again,” one Twitter user wrote about his mom’s decision to “try grooming the dog.” Don’t tell me you didn’t see it coming.

Not even a global lockdown can stop people from giving their pets a haircut. That fact alone gets the owner in closer proximity to his four-legged companion, which may not be dangerous per se, since there’s no solid evidence it can be transmitted between species.
When it comes to DIY dog grooming in self-isolation, pro groomers’ opinions are split. According to Lisa Stark, the spokesperson at Petco, “pet owners aren’t capable and don’t have proper equipment to groom their pets at home.”
Meanwhile, Hayley Byrne-Ingle, a groomer from the Kennel Club, believes that “grooming can be done anywhere in the house.” She suggests that “choosing a room with a surface where your dog can’t slip would be best to make the grooming process as stress-free as possible.”

But when it comes to shaving your dog’s coat at home, that’s better left to the pros. “Ideally, cutting and/or shaving your dog’s coat should be left to your local dog groomer,” Hayley told The Country Living. Instead, her advice is to “invest in a good brush—a standard slicker brush is appropriate for most breeds, and brush your dog little and often.”

The Centers for Disease Control And Prevention reports that “some coronaviruses that infect animals can sometimes be spread to humans and then spread between people, but it’s rare.” The current outbreak likely started from an animal source, but the exact source of the virus is unknown.
The first animal case that tested positive for the virus was a tiger with a respiratory illness at a zoo in New York City. Nevertheless, “Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low.”
