I've never groomed a dog before. Is this for me?
Yes. The kit is designed with beginners in mind. Your free Home Groomer's Handbook starts with a simple “Start Here” section and walks you through preparing your dog, choosing your first area to trim and completing your first session step by step.
Is it safe to use around my dog's face and paws?
Every pair has rounded safety tips, giving you more confidence around sensitive areas. Always work slowly, keep the tips pointed away from the eyes and stop if your dog suddenly moves. The handbook shows you how to position both your scissors and your dog safely around the face, paws and other delicate areas.
Which dogs is this kit for?
It's made for dogs with coats that regularly need trimming, including doodles, poodles, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Yorkies, spaniels and many mixed breeds.
Most short-haired dogs won't need grooming scissors very often. If nail care is your main concern, our LED Nail Clipper 2-in-1 may be a better fit.
My dog won't sit still. Will this work for us?
That's one of the most common challenges when grooming at home. Instead of trying to complete everything in one long session, the handbook shows you how to introduce the tools gradually, practise handling your dog's paws and face and use short, relaxed sessions with positive rewards.
The goal is to make grooming familiar before expecting your dog to sit through a full trim.
What's included in the kit?
You'll receive 4 professional grooming scissors, including straight, curved and blending/thinning scissors, plus a stainless steel grooming comb, cleaning cloth and protective zip case.
You'll also receive the 64-page Home Groomer's Handbook for free.
Why do I need four different scissors?
Each shape makes a different part of grooming easier. Straight scissors are ideal for clean general trimming, curved scissors help create rounded shapes around areas like the head and paws, while thinning and blending shears soften harsh lines and help create a more natural finish.
The handbook shows you which tool to reach for depending on the area you're trimming.
How do I get the handbook?
The Home Groomer's Handbook is included free with your kit. You'll receive the digital handbook by email after your order is confirmed, so you can start reading and preparing before your grooming kit arrives.
Can I use these scissors to cut out mats?
We don't recommend cutting tight mats out with scissors. Mats can pull the skin upwards into the coat, making it difficult to see where the hair ends and the skin begins.
The handbook explains safer ways to deal with tangles and mats, as well as situations where it's better to let a professional groomer handle them.
Will this replace my groomer?
That's completely up to you. Some owners use the kit for face, paw and coat touch-ups between professional appointments, while others gradually learn to do much more themselves.
Even learning the smaller jobs at home can save you trips to the groomer and help keep your dog looking neat between appointments.
How do I keep the scissors sharp?
Remove loose hair after every grooming session, wipe the blades clean and dry and store the scissors inside the protective case. Add a small amount of scissor oil around the pivot occasionally to keep the movement smooth.
If they begin to feel too loose or tight, the adjustable tension screw lets you fine-tune how the blades move.
Can I also use this for my dog's nails?
No. Grooming scissors should never be used to cut nails.
For nail care, you can add our LED Nail Clipper 2-in-1. Use the clipper to carefully shorten the nail, then gently smooth sharp edges with the built-in electric file. The LED provides extra visibility while you work.
