I stop every few minutes and spray the blade and I've never found a sore spot on them since. Next time you're trimming, touch the blade with your finger periodically and check the temp to see if it's getting hot.
Just thought I'd share this, as it was something I wasn't aware of. |
thanks - When I do their ears I touch the blade and I've never felt heat ....but sure will double check that one. Good advise. The thing is if they did get hot - I would think a dog would react ?? Chanel never flinched yesterday cause she LOVES getting "The Hiney Works' - she actually plants her little legs apart and looks back at me and says 'have at it Mom" with a big goofy face lol - I have to hope it wasn't from heat. I'd rather cause a rash than a burn omg -
thanks so much for posting that. My bigger trimmers (electric) DO heat up now that I think of it.
