The undersides of a dog, the out of the way places, the obscure parts of the body that are often most easily injured, these are the hardest to reach and often the hardest to groom. Often, it seems that groomers want to put all their focus into the most visible finish work on outer legs, torso, and heads (admittedly the easiest parts of the dog to reach) while the finished effect suffers because they have ignored matters that are harder to reach and should be done in the "prep" phase of the groom, especially on the undersides of the dog. The undersides of a groom are not the most sexy or exciting, and rarely do they get much attention, but they are incredibly important to a well-groomed, well-finished and balanced dog. Safety is a significant issue, also, in these areas. Join Jennifer for this visually-documented deep dive into armpits, groins, sanitary trims, paw pads, nostrils, lips, under-ears, and all the other places in a groom not easily seen but very important-especially to the dog!
