| How do you trim the hair between the pads? How do you keep the hair between the foot pads short. A vet told me to keep the hair growing out between Buster's pads short as it gets uncomfortable when it is too heavy. She said to use clippers. I need to buy a pair but what length of a blade should I use and how do I do it without hurting his pads? |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I bought a little battery powered eye brow trimmer. It's quiet and has a very small blade.

| Can you post a link/picture of what kind? It seems that Kaji's pad hair grows much faster than I thought. Something small and quiet would work better for frequent pad trimming.

now I have heard that nose hair trimmers work great too. If your pup doesn't like to be flipped on their back, try to do it in the "shoe-ing a horse" position if that makes sense. Them standing and take one paw and bend it towards the back and make the paw facing upwards.
