VIENNA (Reuters) – Austrian hairdressers came out of lockdown this week grappling with coronavirus testing and capacity restrictions – the city’s pampered dogs, however, have long had no trouble getting a trim.
Dog salons were allowed to stay open throughout the last two of Austria’s three lockdowns, and there is no requirement for owners to show a negative coronavirus test result as they would at the hairdresser.
“Since the previous lockdown my wife has just cut my hair occasionally with clippers,” said Roland Vitecek with his 10-year-old Yorkshire Terrier Lili at the Zirkusgasse Dog Salon.
“It is a bigger priority for the dog to get groomed,” he conceded while booking Lili an appointment for a wash, brush, trim and blow dry.
Getting a trim is a lot easier for dogs than their owners in Vienna
