| Confession time and great find I wish to share to all the self groomers. A month ago I was going to quickly trim some hair off of my Zoey's rear and I accidentally cut her bad enough that we rushed to the vet and she had stitches. She is all healed now and has forgiven me. I decided I cannot take this chance again. I had tried to use my husbands clippers before but too noisy and big. I stopped at walmart to look at the choices and I found these great clippers called Kid clips, made for childrens first haircuts safe quiet and they come with blunt tip sizzors, even a book for grand kids.I decided that I would just start letting them run even when the yorkies were just getting brushed. I am happy to say we had a successful ear trimming with no misfortune.The clippers had no trouble cutting the silky hair. They are made by Conair. |

| That's good to know. I'd like to trim my two kids ears too. This means another trip to Wally World.

| Anna Lou, there is a way to get around accidentally cutting them. I use scissors only, no clippers. For every cut I put 2 of my fingers on Ellie and pull the fur up through so I would get cut, not the dog.

| I haven't used the clippers for anything except the ears and rear but I thought they cut great. Also they are light. |
