For example, the power of the razor used by the poodle is higher, and there are supporting protective tools. It is easier to choose a special razor to shave the poodle.

2. Some sensitive parts should not be shaved with a razor

It is not recommended to use a razor directly for shaving sensitive parts of the poodle, such as the belly and physiological organs, because the skin in these areas is thin, and it is easy to get red, swollen, or allergic during the contact of the razor. Therefore, when shaving these areas, it is better not to let the razor directly contact the poodle’s skin. It is recommended to wear an isolation brush and other things.

3. If the poodle is not in good condition, it is best to delay shaving

Shaving a poodle is a very physical thing. It’s the same for you and your dog, so it’s best to choose when the dog is physically and healthy.
