I groom my babies and all my friend's babies (even some of my friend's parent's pups too). I want to forewarn you ... ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN!!! So it is best to be armed with blood stop (its a yellow powder) used most of the time on nails when they are cut too close to the quick. And antiseptic spray (both can be bought at your local pet supply store). The first time I groomed Versace I used school scissors (you know the ones with colored handles LOL) needless to say he looked like he was groomed with a lawn mower LOL I was trying ot give him a puppy cut. Later my mom bought me clippers as a gift. These must be taken care of properly or will be a waste of your money. They come with comb attachments. Look at some video's on youtube! GREAT visual aids!
