Trimming paws!
« on: July 14, 2008, 06:18:22 PM »
I trimmed Huggys paws today! Must say it was quite easy to do and Huggy was very good just lay there letting me get on with it, he had not long wolken up which I think helped!! They were looking quite scraggly but they look lush now!!! I've done a good job I must say!! Just used normal hair scissors, but should I buy proper doggie ones??? Thanks, Sadie  ;)

Well done!  :D

If the human scissors worked well, then they should be fine. Dog scissors are more heavy duty, as dog hair is thicker and more dense than human hair. You may find as he gets older and the hair gets thicker that you may need dog scissors
