Flat Coated Retriever ESSENTIAL Double Scissor Pack - Safety Bull Nose & Thinning Scissor Combo - BLACK

The Essential Flat-Coated Retriever Scissor Duo

Every Flat-Coated Retriever owner understands the importance of keeping their dog's coat looking its best. With their kindly expression, glossy black or liver coat and beautifully feathered legs and tail, Flat-Coated Retrievers have an unmistakable appeal. Regular brushing and combing help keep their coat comfortable and free from tangles while preserving its natural outline. Light tidying may help neaten particular areas, but trimming should remain minimal. This duo is intended for those occasional finishing touches.

Bull Nose Safety Scissors

Designed with rounded tips for extra safety, these scissors are useful for carefully tidying small amounts of excess hair around your Flat-Coated Retriever's feet, where needed and appropriate.

Ideal for small areas that require a gentle touch, their rounded tips help reduce the risk of accidental pokes while you tidy. Always work slowly, keep the blades clear of the skin and avoid cutting into mats or tangles. Leave hair close to or between the pads to a professional groomer if you cannot clearly see where you are cutting. Rounded tips do not remove the risk of injury, so leave difficult or sensitive areas to a professional.

Thinning Scissors for a Natural Finish

Flat-Coated Retrievers have a dense, glossy coat that lies close to the body, with characteristic feathering on the chest, legs and tail. Their coat should retain its natural appearance, with any scissor work kept subtle.

Thinning scissors may be used sparingly to soften small uneven edges around the feet and blend minor finishing touches. A professional groomer familiar with the breed can also advise on appropriate tidying around the ears and other feathered areas.

These scissors should not be used to thin the body coat, remove large amounts of hair or dramatically reshape the feathering. Whiskers should be left untouched, and mats or tangles should never be cut out with scissors. The aim is a neat, natural finish that preserves your Flat-Coated Retriever's distinctive outline.
