Welcome to the fluffy side of the internet, where cute dogs get even cuter makeovers by a professional pet groomer.

A Korean pet stylist, Donghyuk Kim, has gained interest on the internet by sharing adorable dog transformations on his Instagram page. After visiting Kim's salon, pups can even be proud of their rear end, which is carefully shaped into round fluffy balls of absolute perfection. So, for your daily dose of cuteness, we invite you to review before and after images of Kim's clients and let us know in the comments which transformation was your favorite.

Pet grooming is an artistry. Besides knowing how to keep pets calm and steady while styling their fur, groomers also create intricate shapes that require great attention to detail. We can only imagine how stressful a pet stylist's day can be, when working with poorly behaved animals while keeping on schedule.

It takes a lot of work to clean and style a pet. Usually, the final result is reached after 7 steps are completed. First of all, the groomer will remove any mats or tangles before giving the animal a bath. That is also followed by trimming or clipping. Then the pet is brushed or combed, and only then it is time for a bath.

After such pampering, the groomer will dry the coat, and clean the eyes and ears, which will later be followed by a nail trim. This process can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the dog's size, hair length, and other intricacies.

Not every groomer is capable of what Kim is, but if you doubt that, we have selected a few posts on Bored Panda that will make you reconsider. In this post, 50 people took their dogs to the groomers and had to look twice when they got backpeople took their dogs to the groomers and thought they got back the wrong dog, and quarantined people tried grooming their dogs and realized what the professionals are for.

I think the pre-cut pup is so much more adorable. The post-cut pup looks like it had a bad run-in with PhotoShop.

Some of these comments are just ridiculous. Most of the before dogs are tangled dirty and prob have some matting. They are not better. Just because it's not your style doesn't mean it's cruel or mean . Dogs have little to no self awareness nor do they have pride or vanity. Those are amazing human traits.🙄 They loved to have someone working on them or they wouldn't look like this..these styles take time and a dog that doesn't enjoy it wouldn't sit still. No one is forcing you to take your dog in to get it done. You're welcome to leave it matted and scruffy. If you ever do, you can always just ask to keep it natural.
