And advice on why clippers to use for a bichon
Looking to purchase a new clipper for my 2 standard doodles I need to know what to buy and guards
My parents have a small 10 pound shih-tzu that is very heavily matted around the neck, backside, and especially the feet. I’m scared to use scissors as it’s hard to tell what is skin and what is fur. What clippers would you recommend that are both powerful and skin safe? I’m not looking to spend a ton of money, preferably under $100.
Hi would you recommend a clipper for Multi shitzu please, she has long and thick hair i used a home clipper but seem doesn’t work at all
