What are Curved Dog Grooming Scissors and Shears?

As the name implies, these lovely dog grooming scissors/shears have curved blades rather than straight ones.

Curved dog grooming scissors come in the same size range as the straight dog grooming scissors but play a different role in the dog grooming process. Curved dog grooming scissors and shears are designed to produce curves, add roundness and to add a finish to a curved area on the dog. Places that lend themselves to being trimmed with curved dog grooming scissors are heads, ribcages, back leg angulation, legs and feet.

How to Use Curved Scissors for Dog Grooming?

When using the curved dog grooming scissors, the dog groomer must take care not to over turn the blades. If you have been trimming a round shape using a straight dog grooming scissor you must be aware that the curve of the blade does the shaping for you and if you over turn the scissor you may take off too much dog's coat. Inverting or flipping a curved dog grooming scissors can make it easier to add shape into the bend in a back leg or to set the neck at the top line, without getting into awkward physical positions.

Having a curved dog grooming scissor is an essential and great addition to any dog groomer's scissor collection. Please take a look at our range of curved dog grooming scissors.
