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

The Essential Flat-Coated Retriever Scissor Duo

With their friendly expression, elegant outline and glossy black or liver coat, Flat-Coated Retrievers have an irresistible appeal. Their feathered coat needs regular brushing and combing to help keep it comfortable and free from tangles while preserving its natural shape. Occasional careful tidying can provide a neat finish, but trimming should remain light. That's why we've carefully selected this scissor duo for small finishing touches that respect your Flat-Coated Retriever's distinctive look.

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 paws and toes.

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. Take particular care around your dog's ears, eyes, muzzle and sanitary areas. Rounded tips do not remove the risk of injury, so leave difficult or sensitive areas to a professional groomer.

Thinning Scissors for a Natural Finish

Flat-Coated Retrievers have a lustrous, generally straight, flat-lying coat, with feathering on the legs, chest and underside of the tail. Grooming should preserve this natural coat and the breed's characteristic outline. Light tidying around the ears and feet is appropriate, while the neck and body coat should retain their natural appearance.

Where appropriate, thinning scissors can be used sparingly to blend small uneven edges around the feet or help neaten excess feathering around the ears. Ear work is best demonstrated by a professional groomer, as the skin can be easily caught beneath the hair.

These scissors are intended for subtle finishing touches rather than widespread thinning of the body coat, removing undercoat or cutting out tangles. A professional groomer familiar with Flat-Coated Retrievers can advise which finishing touches are suitable for your dog's coat.
