Hi all! I’m having a lot of trouble trimming my toys’ baby feet. I have a normal size whal trimmer and it seems too big? Hard to get into the little beans. But maybe I’m not using the incorrect blade length?
I tried Andis easy trim cordless clipper but it’s hard to trim with the guards. Doesn’t get the hair really well. When I tried without guard it was waaaay to short.
Thanks in advance!!

Sorry for the silly photo, I love taking pics of her next to ridiculous street finds

Hello! We are moving to the coastal PNW area this winter for a job opportunity. We’re coming from a hot, mostly dry state, and I am so, so ready for the change in a lot of ways.

However, I know coat maintenance there will likely need a different approach.
I currently brush twice a week, bathe and dry every other weekend, and trim fully once a month.

Would love to get coat care tips, product recs, and rain-hesitancy training methods from people in the PNW area!
