Poodle Feet Set Up, Dog grooming equipment and Clipper Blades

Poodle feet can be trimmed or left with the hair on, the choice is a personal one.

To clip a poodle foot takes a minimum of dog grooming equipment. Your dog grooming clippers and a #30 and a #10 clipper blade.

First remove the hair from under the foot and between the pads of the feet with your #30 clipper blade.

The rest of the foot is done with a #10 clipper blade. You will clip off the hair from the toe nails to the ankle. Going in between the toes, over the top of the foot to the bend of the foot and around the sides

Warning: Poodle were bred as swimmers and have webbed toes so use extra care when you’re going after the hair between the toes. This is an easy area to cut.

Your dog grooming clippers will stop when you come to the bend of the foot. If not then use the bottom of the ankle as your stopping point.

Don’t forget to clip up the heel of your dog’s foot, again to the ankle and stop.

Do this on all four feet.

It’s always best to leave the line a little low then to make you dog look like he’s wearing high water pants.
