Buster is also very skinny and I usually get him cut short but that only accentuates how skinny he is. She always cuts his beard too short and that makes his face look funny, maybe she won't today. Maybe if little by little I get the right kind of tools I will eventually groom them myself.
Wish me luck today!! (wish Buster and Maggie luck!) |
There's really no rule of thumb. But, shaving the belly down the pros outweigh the cons. Sanitary reasons, keeping the mats down (especially since most use harnesses for walking their dogs and of course putting sweaters on them). So, it's all a matter of preferance.
