What Blades to Use<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\nNormally, the blade you use to clip the feet will be either a No. 15, No. 30, or any of the narrow cutting blades.

A No. 10, or medium blade, generally will not clip close enough to clean the hair between the toes and make the feet look really neat.<\/p>\n
However, if you are a novice, you might want to use a No. 10 blade the first few times until you determine how sensitive your dog’s skin is. Clipping the feet too closely, especially on light-colored Poodles, may cause irritation. Most dogs will then aggravate the condition by licking and biting their feet. To help soothe sensitive areas, immediately after clipping, treat the feet with any anti-itch lotion or spray developed for dogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
