How to properly cut a dog?
Summer season is in full swing. Someone goes to the country for the weekend, and someone for a month or more. If you are taking your dog with you, be sure to prepare it for the trip. It is imperative to take your pet to the groomer and take care of protection against ticks. But what to do if during your stay in the country the dog has grown overgrown, feels discomfort from the heat, and there is no way to return to the city and visit the groomer again? The answer is simple – take your animal clipper with you! How to cut the dog yourself, read our article.
And to begin with, we recall that only dogs of shearing breeds need a haircut. Wirehaired pets do not need a haircut, but trimming (not machines are used for it, but special trimming knives, for example, Show tech).
Leg haircut:
Before proceeding to the haircut, carefully read the operating instructions for the selected machine. Explore the available modes and set up the instrument according to the instructions.
Trim the forelimbs first. Start at their base and gradually go down to the paws.
Be sure to hold the limb you are cutting with one hand.
To cut the inside, lift one limb and at the same time cut the other. Trim the hind legs in the same way.
Neck haircut:
Start cutting under the muzzle towards the chest.
Be sure to hold the dog’s muzzle in a slightly raised position with your hand.
Belly cut:
When clipping the belly area, slightly lift the dog’s forelegs and guide the clipper from the chest to the groin.
Be especially careful when trimming the areas where the nipples and genitals are located. Take your time and securely fix the dog so as not to accidentally injure it.
By purchasing a high-quality device, armed with our tips and having stuffed your hand a little, you can easily cut your dog’s hair at home or in the country.
Grooming tools are not the kind of purchases worth skimping on. The condition of your pet’s coat and skin, their health and beauty depends on the quality of the machine.
For independent use, it is better to choose compact high-quality machines from trusted brands. Pay attention to the models MOSER REX ADJUSTABLE, REX, ARCO, MAX50, MAX45. They are used by professionals in grooming salons, as well as by the owners themselves right at home. A good machine, a little experience and skill – and soon you will feel like a groomer yourself.
And we wish you easy and pleasant pet care!
