We have two Scottish Terriers and they don't look cool like they do naturally. If you don't groom them it's not long before they look like a miniature black bear! We've been grooming our dogs for decades and it's super important to have the right tools for the job and that definitely includes a set of high-quality scissors of various lengths.We found that we needed a longer set than our current collection had in it so we got these and we're very happy with them. The longer length makes them much more suitable for trimming around the dogs' faces as the tips extend past their face and is much safer for them when trimming that area. It also seems to be better for the dogs as they aren't staring at the tip of the scissors while we're working so they're much happier. The tips of these scissors are also blunted for extra safety.We're very happy with these 7.4" grooming scissors and hope that you will be, too.
