clipping question

[leann2078]

Is there a special clippers for around the eyes and the face? I have a sheepdog mix whose hair is getting really long and i don't want it in her eyes, but i am nervous about using scissors, is there anything out there specifically geared for this area?

There may be clippers better made for the face, but I think what really matters in the blade size.

There is a smaller shaver that might work for around the eyes. I know you can use it to trim the fur around the pads. I checked on them and they can be used to trim around the eyes

Clippers can be a good alternative, both work well. If you have never used either, I suggest you take your dog to a groomer and have them show you the proper way to trim, as both tools can cause serious injury if not used correctly.

yep those little clippers are good and do the job - and they are quiet which is great for a nervous dog!!

How about regular clippers for all over the body can you recommend one that is quiet and does a good job at the same time? I had some that were by Oster but they made my dog so scared it was so hard to keep her calm. I ended up just throwing them away.

there are lots of different clippers on the market each blade has a different number as to the length of the cut you want but be very careful the face is a very diffuclt place to clip i would recommand if you have never done this before take him to a groomer

I have an 8 lb dog and I use a musteche?clipper (checked dictionary) but spelling doesn't look correct. Anyway the hair above your lip clipper It's
small and it works great.
