Shaved Belly I have a 7 month old little boy that still seems to get some pee on himself when going potty. I just recently took him to the groomer and asked her to shave his belly some what high so it would not soak in his fur any more but she barely shaved him there. Does anyone else do this with their boys? If so what is a good shaver to get so I can try to do it myself? Please keep in mind I am not a professional groomer and I just want something cheaper and simple to take a little off the belly and maybe his bum if I get brave. Oh also does any one have belly pictures so I can see how high I should shave? Thanks! |
Tiger has never gone to the groomer although those parts you mention sure needs some attention. Let me know how it goes as perhaps I can do the same :) |
so funny that me and my husband was just talking about doing this for kirby. i might just do it my self w the electric clippers. |
Yes you should groom the belly, specially if in full coat.....a mustache trimmer is the safest, Walmart carries WHAL's is under $20.00 and can be used to trim the paws, ears and bum too! hope this helps |
Thanks Kimberly - I am on my way to Wal-mart now - I will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!! :) |
I've been trying my hand at grooming (Ok, Ok, it's only been once!) but the video that I bought said to shave up to where their cord was attached. I think that I ended up shaving to his ribs! At least he's stayed alot cleaner. |
I trim my Busters hair for him. My sister bought a Wahl from Walmart for her dog and I use it. It works great. Its purple too. I shaved Busters belly cuz he does get pee on himself too. |

I too got a little mustache/beard trimmer and keep Cooper's tummy and privates shaved down. I was a little nervous at first but it went pretty smoothly. I was afraid I might nick him, but that hasn't been an issue at all! |

Okay so I said I would report back to you after trying to trim Murphy up. Well..........I have no pictures because the shaver really did not work very well at all. Since I could not find the Wahl one I just got some generic shaver and it basically sucked. :rolleyes: I think I am going to try to go to Target tonight on my way home see if they have the Wahl if not I will have to order off line it looks like. So any who.....no good news for you since it really did not go very well - ha, ha! Is this Tigers first grooming experience? I have already had Murphy groomed and it went pretty well. I get him cut semi-short since I can not handle his pee on his coat - yuck! Good luck with Tigers grooming experience - will need to see plenty of pictures when you get back. :) Oh I meant to tell you take a picture of what you want if you have one that way the groomer has no reason to mess up - that’s what I did and it :thumbup: |
I always do the grooming of my Yorkies . |

I need to buy a clipper too so let me know what you think of the Wahl when you find it. A groomer told me to buy a Peanut from Sallys (don't know the brand) but I haven't gotten out there yet. I'll let you know when I get one. She's one of my Mom's groomers and she gave me a whole lesson on grooming yorkies. If you want, we could have a little grooming party sometime and I'll show you what she showed me. |
I shave both my boys bellies. I shave from thier bum to their around the front legs area. It saves alot of cleaning time otherwise I would have smelly pee boys all the time. I shave the bum area also to keep from getting dingle berries :D |

That’s what the breeder had that sold me Murphy and it was an awesome shaver. I know for sure they have them at the Sally’s in West Melbourne next to Publix. I saw it in there the other day and thought I would try this cheap one first. The peanut is by Wahl and is around $40 - $50 bucks - not so bad. The only thing is it is very powerful and strong so you have to be careful. I would LOVE to come see what you learned from the groomer since I only like to get Murphy trimmed every now and than but like to keep his other areas shaved up more frequently. Thanks for the offer and I will call you when I get back in town. Maybe we can set something up.:) |

My groomer shaves Bear all the way up to his "armpits" it looks and works great for us. I went to Walmart and bought a set of Whal clippers (in the pet department) today. It came in a kit; it's actually a little black plastic case, including an instructional DVD, which I haven't watched it yet. The direction booklet gives tips on grooming horses, cows, and dogs! I opened the box and examined everything then I got scared... What if I hurt him? I'd die! Then I'd be furious with myself. I really, really, want to groom my own dog. I can scissor the body and legs, I think, but I need something besides scissors to do his belly, bum, and the bridge of his nose though. |
So far, I have been less afraid of the trimmer than scissors... Just me..I put the trimmer against my skin and reassured myself that it wouldn't hurt him. That said.... I got my Yorkie at six months old and have made little trims here and there and we are both getting used to the experience. The groomer did shave his belly up to his armpits and his bottom for me.. For some reason, he has been good at the groomer and been a royal "turd" for me. But I am persistent. We shall both learn...together. |
Here's an update: I went to Sally's and bought a Peanut. It is actually a Wahl as you probably already knew but I didn't. I LOVE it!!! It is so much better than what I was using it's not even funny. Everything went faster and I did both boys bellies without any problem. Quote:
