How I Trim The Hair Around My Old English Sheepdog's Foot Pads
(Continued)

Page 1   ~  Page 2


Above is a little neater example of trimming hair around the outside of the feet. NOTE that the length you cut the hair depends
 on the overall hair length on the dog.  If the OESs hair is longer, you'll need to trim farther way from the outside of the pads.

Finally, I scissor around the outside of the feet as the dog stands being careful not to cut the pads.
(Picture coming soon.)

Inspect the finished feet for any accidental nicks because it can happen.  I wash the feet and
apply a little antibacterial salve if one is found... then check the next day to be sure it's healing.
