Craziest Pet Haircuts of All Time
People can take their adoration of their pets a little too far, sometimes that means giving them super weird haircuts. Sometimes human-like and sometimes totally not of this world, we’re sure you’ve seen at least one pet haircut that left you scratching your head.
We’re not sure if these owners think they’re making their pets look better by giving them these hairstyles or just trying to get their fur baby to stand out among the rest.
What we do know for sure is that these photos had us tearing up with laughter.
We hope these animals aren’t aware of the looks their humans have imposed on them, otherwise, they’d be turning red with embarrassment!
30. It’s Just a Punk Rocker Pupper
We can’t tell if this is one of those “may I speak to your manager” haircuts, or if this dog is aspiring to be the lead singer of a punk rock band.
Either way, we hope he isn’t having a hard time walking around with one eye covered up by his fur!
30. It’s Just a Punk Rocker Pupper
We think that if he’s going for the punk rocker look he’s got to go all the way.
Better trade that pink collar for a black one with studs, and have him start howling along to some Green Day.
You’ll be a star in no time, doggo!
29. A Compact Dog with All the Right Angles
Having trouble storing your dog in compact spaces?
This square haircut is the perfect solution! There’s something so aesthetically pleasing and yet so bizarre about this haircut that we can’t seem to take our eyes off of it.
How did they manage to get such perfect angles?
29. A Compact Dog with All the Right Angles
We wish we could get a side photo of this dog as well just to see if the rest of his body is as square as his head.
They even managed to turn his little snout into a square, now that’s some great attention to detail!
28. That’s What We Call One Groovy Kitty
One thing you can’t deny about this feline is that he’s one cool cat. Get it?
All kidding aside, this is a pretty groovy haircut for anyone, animal or human. Pretty daring we might add, this kitty’s giving us some bold vibes.
We think he’s pulling it off perfectly.
28. That’s What We Call One Groovy Kitty
We wonder if any hairspray is required to create a look like this. Or perhaps this cat just has naturally fluffy fur that makes this hairstyle easy to do.
He probably gets crowded by all the lady cats whenever he takes a walk down the street!
27. The Rarest Dog Breed: The Two Toner
This is the rare breed known as the “two tone dog”, born with a body and head that are completely different colors.
We guess that the owner of this dog felt that he was shedding just a bit too much but still wanted him to have a fluffy face to pet.
27. The Rarest Dog Breed: The Two Toner
Are his tail and feet still fluffy as well, or just the face?
It almost looks as if this dog is wearing a bodysuit, one that’s way way too tight around the neck.
An interesting fashion statement, though we’re not sure we would do it for our pets.
26. The Perfect Pair of No Wash Overalls
Looks like this owner wanted to have their pup sporting a cool pair of overalls, but without actually buying him a pair.
Shaving it into his fur is much more economical, not to mention there’s no need to put them on and take them off.
And no washing required!
26. The Perfect Pair of No Wash Overalls
Once this dog’s fur grows back he should try other shaved-on clothing.
Maybe a striped t-shirt? Or maybe he would feel more stylish with a pair of high waisted shorts!
The possibilities are endless when you consider the option of shaved-in pet clothes!
25. Two Pairs of Matching Fluffy Boots
Now, this cat looks a little less than pleased with the haircut he’s been given.
We actually think those little cat boots look absolutely adorable, but the look on this cat’s face is giving off a murderous intent.
Their owner should sleep with one eye open tonight, just in case!
25. Two Pairs of Matching Fluffy Boots
They might have to pick up a pet sweater in case it gets cold outside, this cat looks like he’s probably used to being covered in warm fluff.
Maybe that’s why he’s so angry, he’s probably feeling kind of frigid from the cold.
Get this kitty down to a PetCo!
24. Right Out of a Lisa Frank Sticker Book
Could this possibly be the boldest dog haircut on this list?
You’ll have to find out, but for now, let’s focus on this colorful nightmare. It looks like this dog just stepped right out of a Lisa Frank sticker book, and we don’t mean that as a compliment.
24. Right Out of a Lisa Frank Sticker Book
It looks like this hairdo probably took a whole lot of time and fur coloring in order to pull off, whoever made this happen definitely has a ton of dedication.
But dedication doesn’t always mean a sense of style, which we definitely think this owner is lacking.
23. Watch Out, it’s Captain Jack Poodle!
Now, this swashbuckling poodle looks pretty impressive, kudos to their owner for pulling off this intricate but still cool look!
What would this dog’s pirate name be, and does he have a ship to go along with it?
Good thing he has those little boots, they’ll come in handy when swabbing the deck.
23. Watch Out, it’s Captain Jack Poodle!
What we like best about this look is the fabulous dreadlocks this dog is totally pulling off.
He’s wearing a few too many accessories for a dog, though. One round around the dog park and they’re all probably going to fall off!
22. That’s a Pretty Tiny Lion You’ve Got There
Ever wanted a pet lion, but without all the danger and legal problems that come along with it?
Here’s the perfect solution for you! We’re not sure how many people you’ll fool by giving your dog this hairstyle, maybe you could convince them that your pet is a rare dog and lion hybrid?
22. That’s a Pretty Tiny Lion You’ve Got There
We wonder if having this hairdo gives dogs a more ferocious attitude, or causes them to start roaring periodically?
We still think it would be worth it to have your dog look this cool.
Probably gets pretty hot around the neck, though. Someone switch on the air conditioning!
21. We Hope You Have a Lot More Bamboo in Stock
Here’s another potential hairstyle you can give your doggo if you want to pretend you have an exotic pet.
You might have some explaining to do when people see your pet wagging its tail, but maybe they’ll be able to overlook that.
This is the next best thing to having a panda as a pet!
21. We Hope You Have a Lot More Bamboo in Stock
Looks like he has plenty of bamboo next to him that he can munch on as he embraces his new panda lifestyle.
His natural fluffiness really helps him pull off that panda look, this definitely wouldn’t work with a chihuahua!
20. Is This the Missing Link?
No way anyone is going to believe that you have a tiny dinosaur hanging out in your living room, but it’s still a pretty cool hairstyle to give your pet.
We wonder if this cat’s name is “rex”, we sure hope it’s something clever like that.
20. Is This the Missing Link?
Despite the dinosaur spikes along the back, we think this kitty still looks absolutely adorable.
We wouldn’t hesitate to give it love and cuddles, thankfully he’s still fluffy and not scaly.
Just so long as he doesn’t start stomping around and eating the house plants, we love this kitty dinosaur!
19. The Dog that Came from Outer Space
We can’t help holding back our tears of laughter looking at the haircut this poor dog has!
His head looks like a fluffy orb attached to a scrawny little body. If this owner was looking for a way to make their pooch look like it came from outer space, they succeeded!
19. The Dog that Came from Outer Space
If this dog took one look at himself in the mirror his hair would probably stand on end, that is, if he had any left on the rest of his body!
At least his head will still be nice and fluffy, perfect for head pats.
18. How Did Your Softball Grow Legs?
Speaking of out of this world pet hairstyles, this puppy could not be any more of a perfect sphere.
In fact, you better keep this dog off of all sports courts because he might get confused for a ball!
The look in his eyes seems to tell us that he is thoroughly confused with his owner’s decision.
18. How Did Your Softball Grow Legs?
We can only imagine the stares this dog gets walking down the street, people probably wonder why someone is taking their softball for a walk.
And how did that softball grow legs?
It’s the perfect haircut for confusing people!
17. Toto’s Working as Dorothy’s Understudy
What happens when Toto gets jealous of all the attention Dorothy gets? This hairstyle, apparently!
This little puppy has the perfect braids to go trotting down the yellow brick road.
Now he just needs some ruby slippers to find his way back home!
17. Toto’s Working as Dorothy’s Understudy
If you look carefully you can see a little flare where his paws are, we are definitely a fan of this level of attention to detail.
We’re not sure if this bell bottom look goes along with the Wizard of Oz hair. But then again, neither do those little pink bows.
It’s a bit of a mismatch, but your dog will be a total stand out!
16. The Cubed Hairstyle Trend that Changed Dog Hairstyles Forever
This dog looks a tad confused, and we can understand why.
While his look is adorable, we’re not sure why this cubed head look got so popular.
Apparently this was a major grooming trend in Japan in the 2010s, We’re not sure how it started, but it certainly seemed to have caught on pretty quick!
16. The Cubed Hairstyle Trend that Changed Dog Hairstyles Forever
We hope these dogs aren’t insulted when they’re called a “square”.
Luckily this doggy’s head has no sharp edges, just fluffy corners. Otherwise, he might get stuck in his doggy door, which would certainly make this hairstyle a lot less practical!
15. Look! It’s a Desert Themed Doggo!
We’re not sure if this miniature “camel” would be any help if you needed to trek across the Sahara desert, but he sure is cute to look at!
We especially like the little tassels around his ears, really adds a pop of color to this sandy look.
15. Look! It’s a Desert Themed Doggo!
We hope this puppy was okay with this transformation, he might look in the mirror and start to develop an identity crisis!
One too many animal makeovers on your pet and people are going to begin to wonder whether you’re holding a secret zoo in your house.
14. An Abstract and Artsy Kitty
This tiered cat is simply mesmerizing to look at, we’re just dying to run our hands over that fur.
But while we are amazed, we’re also a bit confused. What look was his owner going for here?
Perhaps it’s some kind of abstract look that isn’t supposed to have a specific form? How artsy!
14. An Abstract and Artsy Kitty
This kitty seems to be looking back at his new style in confusion, we wonder if he minds.
Cats are known to be pretty moody, giving them a bizarre haircut like this might just set them off!
Just assure him that he looks great and we’re sure he’ll be okay.
13. A Dog Who’s Haircut is Just a Little Too Human-Like
If there was any way to make a chihuahua look even more unsettling, this owner certainly found a way!
This hairstyle might look familiar, remind you of a certain young pop star? That’s right, it’s the Bieber cut.
We didn’t especially like it when he was wearing it, and it doesn’t look much better on this dog!
13. A Dog Who’s Haircut is Just a Little Too Human-Like
We’re guessing that this dog was given some kind of wig or hairpiece because there’s no way any hairstylist could have styled his fur to look that much like human hair.
Hopefully, if he runs fast enough this monstrosity will fall off and he’ll be free!
12. You Just Need a Waffle Cone to Complete this Look
One vanilla swirl doggo, coming right up!
This dog’s owner is clearly a huge fan of soft serve ice cream and wanted his pet to match his favorite dessert. And the dog seems to be smiling pretty happy about it, so it seems like this decision was a win win!
12. You Just Need a Waffle Cone to Complete this Look
If you add some red stripes to his fur then you can instantly transform him into a barber shop pole.
We have to commend the craftsmanship that went into this, it really looks like this dog’s fur grows in spirals. Maybe you can pass him off as a rare breed!
11. Having a Bad Haircut with a Friend Makes Everything Better
If these dogs aren’t digging their new hairdo then they don’t need to worry, at least they have each other for company! Maybe they have started a new club where this haircut is mandatory.
We wonder how many more dogs are sporting this spherical look, we hope it doesn’t catch on.
11. Having a Bad Haircut with a Friend Makes Everything Better
While we have to admit there’s definitely a good amount of skill that goes into creating this kind of hairstyle, but we think those skills could be put to better use.
There’s so much more you can do with that level of precision than create weird dog haircuts!
10. When You Try to Make Your Puppy Look Cooler
This dog definitely has a wild and carefree spirit, or at least their owner wanted him to look like he did. We wonder if his owner sports a similar punk mohawk and wants his dog to match.
Not only is it a bold look, but the color of the mohawk makes it even more outlandish.
10. When You Try to Make Your Puppy Look Cooler
All this pup needs is a cool pair of shades and a tiny doggy motorcycle and he’ll be looking like a total tough guy, er, dog.
Though the expression on this dog’s face is giving us a little more bewilderment than anything else.
9. Does the Comb Over Technique Work for Dogs?
Is your dog’s hair thinning slightly at the top?
Well, never fear, there’s a way to hide that easily, the same way that people do! There’s nothing a good comb over can’t fix, put a little suit and tie on this dog and he could instantly look like a middle aged executive.
9. Does the Comb Over Technique Work for Dogs?
This puppy does seem to look a little pouty over his newly “bald” hair.
Don’t worry little dog, one those stray hairs are pushed back over you’ll look like a normal dog again, with a head full of fur!
8. Those Bangs Were NOT a Great Decision
Ever sat and wondered how you would look with bangs, only to get them and realize that you’ve made a terrible decision?
We’re guessing that this is exactly what happened with this poor puppy. The look of sheer regret and disappointment on their face could not be more apparent.
8. Those Bangs Were NOT a Great Decision
Hopefully, it won’t take too long for her fur to grow out and then this hairstyle can be fixed soon.
Would a nice side bang would be a better look for this dog?
Or maybe she should stay far away from human hairstyles all together.
7. Stare Too Long and this Photo Might Haunt You Forever
Apparently this owner didn’t think that their dog looked frightening enough, so he gave him a super intimidating pair of eyebrows and a freaky beard.
If we came across this dog walking down the street we would turn around and walk the other direction, as quickly as we possibly could!
7. Stare Too Long and this Photo Might Haunt You Forever
We’re wondering if this dog has caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, maybe even he is freaked out by this new look!
The flash in this photo makes this whole thing even more terrifying, we have to look away otherwise we’re afraid this picture will curse us!
6. The Life of My Secret Second Pet
Looks like this pet owner wanted a second pet but didn’t have the time or space for one.
So the next best solution was to create a dog out of the butt of their cat, a perfectly logical decision we guess?
One thing we can say for sure, kitty does NOT look happy about it!
6. The Life of My Secret Second Pet
Does this, er, second pet get a name?
Does it get a separate food bowl?
We’re not sure how far this owner went with this second pet look, but we hope they didn’t get too delusional about it. When they start taking their “dog” to the vet, that’s a sign they need help!
5. It Kind of Works on Her?
Even though we’re not fans of this haircut, on a human or a dog, we have to admit that this pup is giving off the right sassy attitude to pull it off. That paired with that cool tropical print shirt?
Are we actually kind of approve of this look?
5. It Kind of Works on Her?
Maybe we’ve just been looking at terrible pet haircuts too long and now our judgment is warped.
You’ll have to tell us whether we’re delusional or this puppy actually does exude some style. You’ll have to be the judge this time around!
4. Show the World, and Your Dog, Your Love for Hello Kitty
We think that we’ve spotted the ultimate Hello Kitty fanatic. I mean, you have to be pretty crazy about it if you’re going to shave her face into the back of your dog.
Thankfully your dog will never be aware of the weird haircut you gave it.
4. Show the World, and Your Dog, Your Love for Hello Kitty
It looks like this might be a gathering of dogs with weird haircuts, maybe it’s even a competition.
Imagine judging such a contest, sounds like a hilariously good time.
We’re willing to put our money on the Hello Kitty pup for the win, we believe in her!
3. The Very First Cotton Candy Puppy Dog
It looks like this doggy hairstylist is hard at work giving this pup the ultimate poodle hairstyle.
The longer we look at this dog the more we’re reminded of cotton candy, though we doubt that this dog tastes anything like it.
We wouldn’t lick this dog, no matter how sugary it looks.
3. The Very First Cotton Candy Puppy Dog
We wonder how this dog will react to its head to toe makeover once it gets in front of a mirror.
Even if the dog isn’t a huge fan, we’re guessing the owner is going to be head of heels in love with the look.
2. Someone Help That Does Get Unstuck Out of the Paper Tube!
Looks like this corgi got stuck in a paper towel tube, at least that seems to be the look that his hairstylist was going for here.
Or maybe his owner always wanted to have a dachshund, and this was the next best option he could go for.
2. Someone Help That Does Get Unstuck Out of the Paper Tube!
We’re sure this dog is a hilarious sight when walking down the street, laughter probably ensues whenever someone walks by this puppy.
But we’re sure he doesn’t mind, he probably just enjoys all the attention!
Also, he probably has no idea that his hairstyle looks so ridiculous.
1. The Very First Ballerina Kitty
It’s probably pretty difficult to get your kitty dressed up in a ballerina get up, especially if he has the kind of fierce attitude this cat seems to have. The next best thing?
Shave a tutu into your cat’s fur! It won’t make them any happier, but there’s no way they can wriggle out of this one!
1. The Very First Ballerina Kitty
We’re not sure how any hairstylist got this cat to sit still when cutting and shaving its fur like that, it probably put up a nasty fight.
But somehow it ended up with this adorably hilarious look anyway.
