| Coat/Hair Electronic Trimmer/Clipper (Not sure if this belongs here) Hi guys, I was wondering who in here trims their own furbaby? I bought an electronic clipper (sort of like the ones used on men's hair) which was supposedly for dogs but it does absolutely nothing on Gucci's hair. I put the 1/2" thingy on but doesn't seem to cut and if anything it seems to pull his hair. His coat is so silky and light. It's not mad curly but a bit wavy and when long it's actually straight. I really need to get a good trimmer b/c his hair grow so fast and I'd like to do it myself. The only groomer on the island is on the Frenchside and since she's the only on she's ALWAYS full. At times I have to wait 1-2 weeks for an appointment! Does anyone have/know a trimmer/clipper they recommend that can cut through my baby's hair? Thanks in advance for your response! |

| I use Andi's trimmer. I does a pretty good job. My only complaint is that the casing gets hot before I am finished so I have to take breaks. The heat doesn't affect Toto-I don't think- but it does start hurting my hands. I have gotten several compliments with the job though. |

| Thank you guys for the suggestions Quote:
The problem is that his hair gets caught in the blades and are not cut. TeachingToTo: the one I have also gets hot and does absolutely nothing! So frustrating... I'll try getting the Oster or Andi's off a petstore site to see if that makes a difference. My concern is being sure that either one of these trimmers will cut super fine hair. | |
