Dog Grooming Shears

Shears are the larger, longer-bladed scissors used for body work and finishing rather than detail. They cut more hair per stroke, which is what makes a full-body scissor groom practical. Pet Corner Dubai stocks dog grooming shears from Andis.

What makes our dog grooming shear range stand out

1. Longer blades for body coverage

Fewer strokes across a large area means a faster groom and a smoother, more even finish.

2. Straight and curved profiles

Straight shears for legs and flat planes, curved for following the contours of the body and head.

3. Japanese steel edges

Hardness that holds an edge through repeat professional use, which is what determines the real cost over time.

4. Offset ergonomic handles

Reduces wrist strain over long sessions, which matters more with shears than with small scissors because of the leverage involved.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between shears and scissors?

Mostly blade length and purpose. Shears are longer and used for body work and finishing, scissors are shorter and used for detail around the face, feet and sanitary areas. Most groomers carry both.

Do I need shears for home grooming?

Only if you are doing full-body scissor work on a long-coated breed. For most owners a short rounded-tip pair covers what is needed between salon visits.

How do I look after them?

Wipe and oil the pivot after each use, store them in a case rather than a drawer, and never drop them, since a single impact can misalign the blades permanently. Have them professionally sharpened rather than attempting it yourself.

How do I avoid a stepped, uneven finish?

Work with the lie of the coat, keep the blade angle consistent, and use thinning shears to blend any visible lines. Make sure the coat is clean, fully dry and brushed straight first, since scissoring a damp or matted coat gives an uneven result no matter how good the shears.
