Hair cuts?

[Leanne7b]

What are the different types of hair cuts to ask for at the groomer? Is there a website or could you post pictures of your pets cuts and the name of the cut? When you take them to get them cut do the groomers know the name of the cuts? Our first total trim is coming up and I don't want them to mess up like they did her mini trim. Thanks for the info!

I know a 'sanitary' cut is where they trim around the eyes, belly, and bottom. (Ears too if you want that.) They leave the rest of the hair alone. These are good if you want the hair to grow long.

A 'puppy' cut is short hair all over but not shaved.

Just be specific. Very specific. I brought Triss in and said I only want the black tips trimmed off. Please don't shave her. And thats exactly what I got.

It wouldnt let me edit. I meant I got exactly what I wanted, not shaved. lol

I found a picture of what I want Toby's hair to look like as it grows out. It's the picture on the front of the Heartgard plus chewables for dogs up to 25 lbs. pkg. So I just take it to my groomer each time I take him in which is every 6 weeks. Good luck.

Good idea, I never thought to look for a picture.

Thanks for posting this info. That's the cut (sanitary cut) my dog needs and I didn't know how to ask for that.
