Tiny Trim 4.5" Ball-Tipped Scissor for Dog, Cat and all Pet Grooming - Ear, Nose, Face & Paw - Scaredy Cut's small Safety Scissor

I’ve had these scissors for almost a year and I’ve really enjoyed them. They’ve been easy to use on my dog and I feel a lot more comfortable and safer with the rounded edge. I definitely recommend these.

Great for trimming around the eyes!!! Be careful! Get your puppy used to being groomed the minute you bring them home: handle their paws, brush their fur, rub an electric toothbrush along their body , so they are familiar with clippers being on their body!!! Find a groomer you like and stick with them, so puppy gets familiar and is less stressful for them!!! Learn how to properly brush your dog, so you are brushing down to the skin and not just the top coat!!! Tangles in the dogs coat are very painful and can cause lots of skin issues!!

First of all the scissors work great. Sharp and so easy to use around my dog's face especially near his eyes. My scissors eventually became dull after 14 years. Advertised with lifetime warranty so I decided to take a chance and contact the seller. Honestly I didn't expect anything to happen. However he quickly replaced them and also sent me a different pair as a gift. Who does that these days!? I am a very happy customer!

These Scaredy Cut 4.5-inch pet-trimming scissors work just fine unless your thumb is too big, which mine is, and I don't have particularly large thumbs for an adult male. The two identical, oval-shaped finger holes, one or the other of which I need to put my thumb into, measure 16.8 millimeters in width and 19.7 mm in height according to my several caliper-assisted measurements. I can get only about 10 millimeters of my thumb through the hole, whereas if I grab the nearest surgery-grade medical instrument, a hemostat made for adults I happen to have lying around that has holes of the same shape but a height of 23.3 mm and a width of 19 mm, my thumb naturally sticks through about 21 mm, which is over twice as far.Those 11 millimeters are the difference between clumsy and coordinated, between getting the angle a little wrong and having to adapt to it on the one hand (ha), and, on the other hand (ha ha), getting it just right and not having to think about it.If you think about it, it is true that you also don't want the finger holes too large in either dimension either, because then you lose control of the precise angles and distances over which you want to maintain such precise control, especially when, for example, you're trimming around your koala's eyes or your giraffe's stalks. You want the finger holes to be shaped and sized just right, so they not only close but also open and merely hold still just as you expect, without your having to adjust for them or even having to think about them.There's a reason scissor-type medical instruments such as hemostats and iris scissors and even micro dissecting scissors -- whose pivot-to-tip length can be nearly 3 times shorter than the 4.5-inch Tiny Trim's 42.36 millimeters -- still all have the same size finger holes. The reason is that over the last couple centuries people who design these instruments have figured out through gradual trial and error the best dimensions for the finger holes. They've all got it just right, and there's little room (ha ha ha) for improvement, i.e., any change from the standard is open to question.The designers of this product decided that all those centuries of experimentation and improvement were a little bit wrong and went with a smaller size, and for this I subtract 1 star. If I could subtract only 51% of a star I would.Perhaps there's a reason for the small opening that I can't figure out. Children have smaller fingers than adults, but obviously that's not the reason the finger holes are so small. Females have smaller fingers than males, but surely that's not the reason the finger holes are so small. As I say, I can't figure out this seemingly poor design choice (but then again I am not an expert on scissor-type finger-hole dimensions).But as I also say, otherwise these scissors are just what I wanted, which is why they rate 449 out of 500 stars.Also, can anyone confirm that it matters whether the serrated blade or the smooth blade is the one closer to the scalp? Does it make a difference, and if so which is better? Thanks.

Perfect for clipping around my puppies face.

Nice little scissors, used on my poodles ears.

My sweet Shih Tzu was afraid of large scissors when I tried to trim around his eyes between grooming. These scissors are small, easy to handle and best of all… blunt tipped so not dangerous.He accepted them near his eyes and I am now able to easily snip away those errant hairs that grow up around his eyes.

I bought these to trim our cat's hair. He was not a fan of the groomers but needs his trims on a regular basis. These scissors help get the job done at home. I picked these because I loved the rounded safety tip. Safety first! We are done in less than five minutes. The scissors are sharp and effective.
