The man posted a before and after picture of the dog on his Twitter account.

The photo that followed from the trip to the groomer was terrifying.

Most viewers found it hilarious and commented on its similarity to an Ice Age character.

"That’s your dog man lmao," a Twitter user said.

"Imagine dropping off your furbaby for a groom only to later pick up Sid from Ice Age," one said.

"Lord, forgive me for laughing so hard I started wheezing," a second said.

"Me going out Friday night versus me waking up Saturday morning," a third said.

"I kept sliding back and forth on these pictures and laughed every time," another said.

However, some of the online audience hit back and defended the groomer's work.

"The only reason why a groomer would shave them that short would be because you didn’t brush them," a woman said.

"Customers like you are why a lot of private shops are just straight up not accepting doodles anymore," one said.

Dog groomer woes have trended online, sparking heated debates.

Another animal lover was left horrified after her beloved dog was given an awful haircut that made it look like a raw chicken.

The pet owner joked that her Goldendoodle, named Scout, came back from the groomer looking like "a new dog".

Scout's owner fumed: "Groomer said I communicated incorrectly about his haircut even though I chose the same cut as last time.

"I did bring photos to the groomer to avoid confusion, but it still led to this result.

"It's not a big deal, the hair will grow back.
