What is razor rash?
Razor rash is the term used for the red, irritated, itchy skin that appears after your pet has been clipped. It is usually limited to a certain area, the most common being the belly, anus, or face. This rash appears because your pet has sensitive skin and can’t handle the close clipping typical to those areas. It doesn’t happen to all pets, and can happen to a pet that has always been clippered with no previous problems. Let us know if it happens to your pet, and we will mark his file to prevent it from happening again. It is important to note that razor rash is sometimes referred to as “clipper burn”. This term is incorrect, as it leads one to believe that a temperature related burn has occurred. We use the top of the line Andis clippers and attachments, and keep them lubricated, which means they run cool and stay that way. In addition, we have many years of experience grooming pets which means that we are quick and thorough. Thus, our clipper attachments do not overheat.
