The Summer Cut is a Neat and Good Looking Dog Grooming TrimA summer cut is a good maintenance trim. This is a simple dog haircut that always looks good. What dog grooming equipment is needed? Your dog grooming clippers, clipper blades, clipper blade coolant, dog grooming scissors, dog brush, and greyhound comb. After your dog is brushed and bathed, dried, nails trimmed and you’ve done all your basic dog grooming prep then it’s time for the haircut. Pick out the blade that will leave you the length of hair you want left. On my own dog I use a #7 full cut blade but any blade from a number #10 full cut to a #4 full cut will give you the trim length you’re looking for. Brush the hair on your dog up and then clipper off the hair following the lay of your dog’s coat. Continue to brush up the coat and clipper off the hair until no more hair falls. Trim up your dogs tail and feet and all that’s left to do is make the head style of your choice. If it doesn’t come off smooth and clean you can always do a reverse dog grooming. Just be sure to go up a couple of sizes in the blade you’re using. To achieve the look of a # 7 blade you will want to us a #4 blade, etc. Remember when you are clippering the body of your dog that there vulnerable areas where you stand the possibility of cutting your dog. Two of these are the armpits and the flank where the skin hangs down. Always clipper across these areas heading from one side to the other. Never run your dog grooming clippers along the ridge.
