…Why would you tell a pet owner to use a 40…like, ever?
ATTENTION ALL PET OWNERS: PLEASE IGNORE THE CLEARLY CONFUSED PERSON WHO MADE THIS CLIP. YOU WILL CUT YOUR DOG, I PROMISE.

I have been a groomer for 15 years and I agree that a number 40 blade is a surgical blade, it is very dangerous to use that blade around their eyes….I recommend a number 10 blade.you can however use a number 40 blade on the pads of the feet. Also what they are not telling you if you are not a groomer is you need multiple blades as the blades get hot during use…keep switching blades.

I only use a 10 between the eyes, a 40 with a wiggly dog is a disaster waiting to happen. I’ll use a 15 on the pads. I can get closer with a 15 then a girl I work with who uses a 30. I don’t think I’d ever use a 40 except under a snap on comb and even then if my 30 or 9 is busted.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! I thought shih tzu had long hair 🙁 this is depressing

@eHow…. The proper pronunciation is “Shih Tzu.” As in Sheed Zoo and not Shit zoos… There is no “s” sound at the end ever. Shih Tzu is singular and plural …. It is “Shih Tzu” if your are speaking of one or more Shih Tzu.

This lady really likes the 40 blade which is a surgical blade…tsk tsk tsk

I’m only a grooming asistant right now, but I havent seen and of the groomers I work with use a 40. Isnt that a surgical blade? They always use a 10.

It wouldn’t hurt any to use a CLEAN dog to do your demo on.

@xisstats I just don’t think it’s a good idea to tell ppl who want to groom there pets at home to use a 40. There less likely to razor burn there pets if they just stick to a 10 :).. As a professional I have no problems with using a 40 but this video is directed for pet owners..
xisstatus
Uhh, I use a 40 for pads all time, not so much for the face, but when it comes to a flat faced dog, I’ll use a 40 on the face.
TheRedLoneWolf
oh so now you use the proper breed?

Hey um, i got a female Shih Tzu yesterday and shes 9 weeks old. I’ve noticed that when she walks, she dosn’t walk as straight as i seen other dogs walk. She walks a bit side ways and then she shifts position. I was wondering if thats normal because this is my first pet ever, and yeah im kinda paranoid lol. Thanx!
hoizixbabe
…..Or you can use thinning shears on the face….

The correct pronunciation is Shee-zoo. Not Shit-zoo.
LisaAllen11
Please check how you pronounce the name of this breed, really the T is silent. Just for the record dogs donot have arm pits- they have 4 legs!

Thanks for giving the blade # for between the eyes. I groom mine myself and always attempt in between the eyes with a blunt scissors, but I am always afraid they will jerk and get poked.

Recently I’ve been getting a lot of people coming to me with there Shih Tzus that are completely matted and bad coat condition. One time it took me 5 hours to groom one dog that was so matted and smelly it looked like he had never been groomed or bathed in his life! I made him look fabulous of course 🙂

I have been a grooming dogs for the past 15 years. Thanks for sharing the useful information. You can use a 40 for pads all time for dog boarding and grooming purposes. The dogs can be taken care of by following similar procedures.
