What About Whiskers?  – with Daryl Conner

It is widely accepted that vibrissae, also known as whiskers, should never be trimmed on cats. However, groomers have casually lopped them off dogs since we first picked up scissors. Vibrissae are sensory organs and differ from other hairs in many ways. Trimming them on show dogs has been banned in some parts of Europe. Should we cut them, and if not, how would that affect our grooming practices? We will explore this sensitive topic so you can decide what is best for you and the animals you groom.
