Hello friends! I hope you are having a great Saturday afternoon. I am back with a pet grooming video for you guys who also have long haired dogs ( or cats ). First, I would like to point out that I am in no way a professional groomer and my way might not be exactly right. We use to take Super Cooper to get groomed all the time but started to realize we could probably do a pretty good job ourselves at home for a fraction of the price. With the warmer weather, its hard on long haired animals and getting a cut always makes our dog feel so much better! You can see exactly how I did it in the video below....if you want skip around because there is a lot of time of me taking the trimmers to Cooper. But if you are wanting to groom your own pet, I seriously would watch it all the way through at least once and be sure to go through notes below!
Please remember I am not a groomer...these tips are just my own and hopefully will help you if you decide to do this to your dog and or cat.
For Cooper, we like to cut him down at the beginning of summer to make it comfortable on him. Golden Retrievers have a very thick undercoat that is extremely thick and hot. Not to mention the shedding. This may look a little extreme but by October he will be all grown out again. Remember this is hair you are cutting, it will grow back out...even if you make a mistake.
