Any tips on how to shave between a puppy's toes (pads)?
Any tips on how to shave between a puppy's toes (pads)? And by puppy
I mean my 2 and a half year old. She's developed a hot spot that the vet treated with a cortisol spray originally, and it works wonderfully to relieve her immediate distress (once I rub it in good). The problem comes in the fact that she has hair growing from between her pads that averages 2 to 3 inches. Normally we keep it trimmed plum to the pads, but during winter months we allow it to do its thing. Just her luck. So now I've decided to keep it trimmed at all times and I am having a really difficult time getting between her pads without hurting her. A groomer said she probably couldn't do it any better than what I have. But in my opinion there is still a considerable amount of hair. Any tips or suggestions on how to get closer? I appreciate any help or advice. -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not. |

We use a really small clipper on the schnauzers. One that gets right down between the pads. I can't remember the brand of it but I'm pretty sure it came from PetEdge. It has a narrow blade and is lightweight. During the winter, we let that hair grow more to provide padding from the snow and ice. But the rest of the year, it is clipped clean between the pads.

Response to "Judy" :

I was actually using a small beard trimmer, but the neck is shaped odd and it made it more difficult perhaps... I've looked up the Oster Finisher and it appears that it would work significantly better. -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not. |
