Tidy trims stretch salon visits and keep pets comfortable. Here’s how to tackle the classic face, feet, and fanny routine safely.
Face Focus
- Comb hair forward, pinch between fingers, and trim only what extends past your knuckles.
- Use thinning shears around eyes for soft blends.
Feet & Pads
Spread toes, clip fur flush with pads using a #40 blade or safety scissors. Round the foot outline by following the natural curve.
Sanitary Area
Always use a cool blade and keep skin taut. Make short strokes to avoid razor burn.
Lift the tail gently, trim 1-2 inches around the vent, and clean inner thighs.
