Can I use this to shave the sensitive private areas on my dog? She gets mats around her wee-wee, a groomer has to shave it & I'd rather do it.

You can but you still need to be careful and take your time around sensitive areas. I would recommend doing those areas first while the clippers are still cool to touch, once they get hot and you use them without a guard they will cause skin irritations.

I've never done that (yet) but if you watch the video that came with your clippers, it gives pretty specific instructions.

The main thing to remember is the fur needs to be clean before you groom your dog or you risk damaging the groomer. Pay attention to the instructions that come with the groomer to get the best results. I have an older male dog that has problems keeping his rear end clean after defecating, so I have to keep him shaved closely. Most dogs will eventually get used to having their sensitive areas groomed.

This machine vibrates a lot and after 30 mns of use it gets a bit hot.. You can try to go to that area without shaving it, just move around trimmer until she gets comfortable with the trimmer and then try to trim in that area.

First I must ask if you have ever groomed a dog? Second, if your dog is matted, a #10 or #7F are good blades to use. If your dog is badly matted, you first have to make a space for the blade to get between the matt and the skin being careful not to cut the dog. DO NOT bathe the dog before clipping as it will make the matts worse and the hair will take hours to dry. This will take a while to do because you have to be very careful. I would not use a ceramic blade, the non-ceramic blades are just as good. I hope I have been some help to you and please feel free to ask about anything that is not clear to you.

It works great on the private areas, no nicks but a nice close shave. one of the best shavers I've ever had for shaving any area of the body. works good on men or women as mine has been used by both.

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.

Olivia, I am the creator of Scaredy Cut and I think it's wonderful for you and your dog that you have a successful relationship with your groomer. If you are getting the grooming your dog needs and wants to be happy and healthy with the groomer then you really don't need to add to that with SCAREDY CUT or any other tool. If you do need to do some maintenance at home you could use SCAREDY CUT to do single cuts only, which would not involve brushing through the hair. Sincerely, Matthew Michel (877) SCAREDYCUT

I would say..... No; probably not a good idea. I would guess it would be quite painful. It's better to pull the skin taut, especially when you are first using after you have been shaving, and that would be difficult.

ABSOLUTELY! To perfection! It has a "soft" switch which is easier on sensitive skin and hard heads! It will go around the contours nicely! And you can do it in the shower without a mirror. I shave the back of my neck dailt when I shave my face with this. No irritation at all, unlike Norelcos & especially Brauns. You'll LOVE it!!! Good Luck!

Scarlett, I use it on these areas, but you really have to hold the skin taut. It can can really pull your skin, but you don't have to use it as often as a shaver. Good luck!

Absolutely! I actually only use it on my dog when she is dry and it gets out tons of fur. I have a lab mix and it seems to get out different parts of her coat than the furminator does...its fabulous and she loves the way it feels! Make sure you use it outside though...because the hair goes flying!

I have 3 long- haired cats and i use it dry on them to remove single mats. If she is Severly matted this tool will hurt her. You have to pull on the hair to remove the mat, since this tool is made for dogs not cats. When my cats are severly matted (happens to them the older they get) i take them to the vet and have them shaved. You also could go to a groomer if she will sit. I know what you are going through with the mat situation, i have 2 Ragdolls and a Maine Coon.

I'm not sure my dogs hair isn't matted but with how hard it is to go through my dogs thinker hair it would probably be difficult to shave a matted per.

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

I would go to a salon for waxing really sensitive areas. You definitely do not want to mess up something like that. But that's my opinion and I do not have much experience with waxing

Based on the instructions for application of the cream, I don't believe it will. There are certain body areas the cream won't work on. Putting it down there may irritate the skin and you'll be walking legs apart. I highly recommend you don't use the cream to groom the private area. I hope this helps answer your question.

Call a dog groomer and ask. It varies by breed, because type of hair varies by breed. They even let me try two at the grooming place, and I'm getting this one for my mini Australian Shepherd.

No I don't think it works well that way. You should be able to get pretty close shaves using it directly on your skin

I am pretty sure it can be used by women as its just a softener that helps improve the side effects of shaving for sensitive skin. Worth a try.
