How do you sharpen dog grooming scissors?


Sorry, I've never sharpened my own. We had a service come to the shop and later to the vet office I worked at.

You can try asking a sharpener and perhaps they'll be kind enough to tell you.

There is a great booth here in CA at our local dog shows, they do the best job. Sorry don't remember their name.

If the sharpener knows his stuff a pair of scissors can be sharpened many times and will keep a good edge for a while (if they are good scissors). I'd say start with a light hand and go slow.

I've had scissors ruined by new sharpeners that I was desperate and tried them. They didn't know how to deal with curved scissors and rather than tell me they just ruined several pair.

Good luck.
