Erica Ciara Linzey offers a complete selection of dog grooming items for purchase in her Linzey Dog Grooming establishment in Davis, California in the United States, and certainly scissors and clippers are at the top of the list of needed grooming items for dog owners who take the daily care of their pets seriously. Scissors and clippers are essential cutting tools which remove hair, shorten hair or create specialized designs and styles in dog coats.
Clippers can be essential for painless removal of hair in sensitive areas of dogs, and are also irreplaceable when a dog is matted and globs of impossibly tangled hair must be removed as painlessly as possible. Some dog breeds should not be clipped at all, especially those who depend on their double coats for insulation in summer and winter.
Dog scissors are generally longer than normal hair dressing scissors with blunt tips which prevent injuries if the dog moves suddenly and without warning. Linzey Dog Grooming also offers stripping combs which grab long coat hairs and pull them out by the root, helpful when working with terriers and schnauzers, and essential for show dog grooming.
Dogs must be groomed before they are bathed, as water and shampoo cannot reach to the skin through layers of dead undercoat and matted hair. A slicker brush, a grooming tool available at Linzey Dog Grooming in Davis, California, a business of Erica Ciara Linzey since 2012, can be used over the entire body of the dog to take out knots.
