Having a haircut can make you feel a million dollars, especially when you've not had one for a while and you're feeling a bit worse for wear.
But for English Sheepdog Arlo, a haircut turned into a whole life transformation, after he had 1.8kg of hair shaved off.
The poor pooch was left at Battersea when his owners were no longer able to look after him after they had to move into accomodation that didn't allow pets.
But Arlo arrived in a distressing condition, and had fur so knotted and matted he couldn't see properly - leading him to walk into walls and doors on a regular basis.
Because of his poor vision, Battersea staff felt that they had no choice but to chop all of his fur off, and ended up removing 1.8kg of the stuff.
Now Arlo looks like a new man, and he's bound to be a hit with the ladies at the dogs' home.
Speaking about Arlo's transformation, Battersea's rehoming and welfare manager, Rebecca Lodder, said: "We wouldn’t normally clip a dog with such long hair but as Arlo was in such discomfort, we felt that this was best for his welfare.
"Dogs with long hair require a lot of grooming and attention. This not only helps to keep them looking smart, but grooming is also vital for their physical health and wellbeing, too."
She added: "Arlo seems to have grown in confidence since having a haircut, too. He can see properly and is so much more comfortable with handling.
"He’s had a real ‘glow-up’ and now loves nothing more than running around and playing with his friends.
"Arlo’s coat will eventually grow back, so he is looking for new owners who will help to keep him looking like the suave, well-groomed boy that he has become.
"Arlo’s new owners will need to show him that it’s fun to be pampered and introduce him to grooming at a pace that suits him."
Now that's what you call a transformation.
