Doesn't cut. [SEP] My most recent special-needs dog came to me with some severe behavioral issues.  She's doing much better now but still has an extreme reaction to any attempt at grooming, which is why I thought I'd give this a try.  While she hates being brushed she's getting better with it so I thought this might be a sneaky way to do a little bit of trimming here and there.<br /><br />Nope.  These things do not cut.  I grabbed one of my older, more tolerant dogs and tried to cut one of the knots out from under her armpit but this thing WOULD. NOT. CUT.  Not at all.  I tried both sides of it and even switched combs, to no avail.  Finally gave up and got the scissors.<br /><br />Attempted to gently brush another dog's tummy because she has much finer hair but it wouldn't even cut her little wispy hairs.<br /><br />Just get a good pair of scissors and some doggy Xanax because these combs are not going to work.
