Scaredy Cut Silent Pet Grooming Kit For Cats & Dogs - Quiet Alternative to Electric Clippers For Sensitive Pets - Right-Handed, Pink

Juste ingénieux et genial

My dog is scared of everything. So taking her to the groomer is a stress-inducing event of epic proportions! Please see pics from before and after using these scissors.Here's why I love this item:1. They are quiet. So quiet that my dog had a little nap while I was clipping her.2. No electrical outlet needed. So I can clip my dog wherever she feels most comfortable.3. Sharp. It would be difficult to hurt the dog when used properly. But don't use your fingers to remove fur from the blades. Ouch!4. Cost effective5. Item claims to have a life-time guarantee6. Super cute carry case7. Safe. Unlike electric clippers, there is no fear of nicking the dog's skin or the blades overheating.8. Can choose the size of the safety guard for shorter or longer trims.9. Fool proof! Easy-to-follow instructions provided.I imagine my grooming skills will improve with time! But even if they don't, I'm still extremely pleased with my dog's new look. And most importantly, it was a fear-free and stress-free experience. :)

My dog completely freaked out at the groomer and will not tolerate electric clippers.In the interim (while we try to build her confidence) I purchased these scissors. When you have the comb on the scissor (as long as it is the right way up) I don't think you could accidently cut her skin. Even with the comb off, the design means the scissors are not quite flush.We are gradually trimming her coat back!!!

This product is outstanding for many reasons and I had read all of the reviews before ordering it. It arrived quickly, much sooner than Amazon's estimated delivery date and I used it on my beloved shitzu as soon as it arrived.I couldn't believe how easy, efficient, cost effective and peaceful the trimming session proceeded. It took me less than half hour and when I was done, it was hard to differentiate between my at home trim and the $80 trim I would have paid the groomer. It wasn't perfect but my baby Jasti looked pretty good! The $32 grooming set already saved me $80 and that is with just one trim so far.I did make the silly mistake of not holding the shears with the comb side facing her skin but she was okay and other than that, she actually fell asleep during the grooming session.Check this out: no more driving to the groomer, no more spending tons of money, no more struggling to find time to bring her for a trim! I love this product and the customer service is prompt, helpful and very responsive. The creator of this amazing product is a genius and has made my life, and my shitzu's quality of life, so much better. Don't hesitate to buy this, it costs nothing when you consider that it practically trims your pet with no cost other than the grooming shears. And the attachment combs are a nice perk. I feel that this company deserves more recognition.....

I just received the Scaredy-cut clippers yesterday (Wed, June 5th) and immediately set to work on my Maine Coon cat for about an hour; a challenge when your cat has 3-inch hair and a thick undercoat!BOTTOM LINE: I loved the idea (as did she) but didn't like the scissors itself very much. They seemed dull. I watched three demo videos on the how-to's so I know I was following the instructions as best as I could. And I tried the cuts using the longest 1" head on the clippers, meaning I had less hair per chop, so that should have made it even easier.I took very small tufts of fur to cut each time, yet it still typically took me 3-4 chops with the Scaredy-cut scissors to cut through the fur. When I used our older barber scissors with her fur, it cut through the fur and undercoat like butter; one cut easily did the job each time. This confirmed to me that these Scaredy-Cut scissors need to be sharper. It could be that my pair of Scardey-Cut scissors are just defective or that these scissors are not meant to be used on long-haired cats with thick undercoats... but since the most-helpful review and the company owner, Matthew, both have Maine Coons, and use Scaredy Cut with great success, I suspect the problem is either with how I'm cutting or this particular pair of scissors I'm using.Again, I think the idea is awesome as my Maine Coon is very skittish when it comes to noises, so electric clippers were out. And she purred the entire time, thinking she was getting a lengthy massage!I *AM* impressed by the company's quick and thoughtful responses to customer concerns. Thank you for that, Matthew. -TerryPS: to be fair to the company, if I find I am cutting her hair wrongly with the scissors or that the scissors are merely defective and another pair fixes the problem, I will immediately come here and edit this review and up the star rating. I WANT this company to succeed!__________________________________________________EDIT: Amazing. Within hours of posting this review, Matthew of Scaredy Cut had contacted me AND mailed me a replacement pair of scissors to try out. Now *that* is some impressive customer service!**************************************************EDIT 22 March 2013: I've now had these scissors 9 months and used them to trim my Maine Coon's hair 3 times. Each time it gets a little easier and I'm faster at it. The secret is to have scissors that are tight (I had to have mine replaced) and to take my time. Cut small tufts at first and not too deep. Make more than one pass. Follow the video. It works. I cut her hair today down to the undercoat and evened out the fur and brushed her in less than an hour (this is on a VERY LARGE 14 lbs female cat!) ... and she looks pretty good. And that is taking her fur from 3 inches down to about 1/2 inch (except for her head, cowl and tail, which I didn't touch).BOTTOM LINE: They work and get the job done and my cat purrs the entire time.I will add that the scissors could be sharper, hence why the rating is only 4 star. They aren't barber-quality scissors and the thumb hole is too small for me. So I take my time and give my thumb a rest. But this is a LOT cheaper than taking the cat to a groomer, if she'd even allow it, which I doubt. My wish is this idea but with thin barber-quality scissors like we use to cut human hair, but that would seriously raise the price as such scissors are expensive. So for the money, THESE ARE GREAT! And EVERY email or inquiry is answered quickly. They bend over backwards to make you happy. Seriously!________________________________________Nov 26, 2014 EDIT:The company upgraded the scissors and asked me to try them out... Wow. MUCH sharper! These scissors, service and idea get 5 STARS from me now. A breeze to cut my Maine Coon's incredibly long hair and dense undercoat. I highly recommend these scissors to anyone who wants to trim their cat or dog's hair. The scissors work. My cat would *never* put up with electric clippers so this idea has been a savior for me. Thanks.
