From the brand
My co-inventor for SCAREDY CUT was my cat Atticus. A Maine Coon fluff ball, he had a heart condition and was afraid of anything motorized. SCAREDY CUT is built around having a cooperative, trusting relationship with a pet. I always treated it like a snuggling session & he liked it more and more over time.
We have received countless positive reviews from customers who have seen a dramatic improvement in their pets’ mood after using our invention.

Q –
They work! Great idea. Incredible service. Scissors have been UPGRADED and are now VERY sharp
I just received the Scaredy-cut clippers yesterday (Wed, June 5th) and immediately set to work on my Maine Coon cat for about an hour; a challenge when your cat has 3-inch hair and a thick undercoat!BOTTOM LINE: I loved the idea (as did she) but didn’t like the scissors itself very much. They seemed dull. I watched three demo videos on the how-to’s so I know I was following the instructions as best as I could. And I tried the cuts using the longest 1″ head on the clippers, meaning I had less hair per chop, so that should have made it even easier.I took very small tufts of fur to cut each time, yet it still typically took me 3-4 chops with the Scaredy-cut scissors to cut through the fur. When I used our older barber scissors with her fur, it cut through the fur and undercoat like butter; one cut easily did the job each time. This confirmed to me that these Scaredy-Cut scissors need to be sharper. It could be that my pair of Scardey-Cut scissors are just defective or that these scissors are not meant to be used on long-haired cats with thick undercoats… but since the most-helpful review and the company owner, Matthew, both have Maine Coons, and use Scaredy Cut with great success, I suspect the problem is either with how I’m cutting or this particular pair of scissors I’m using.Again, I think the idea is awesome as my Maine Coon is very skittish when it comes to noises, so electric clippers were out. And she purred the entire time, thinking she was getting a lengthy massage!I *AM* impressed by the company’s quick and thoughtful responses to customer concerns. Thank you for that, Matthew. -TerryPS: to be fair to the company, if I find I am cutting her hair wrongly with the scissors or that the scissors are merely defective and another pair fixes the problem, I will immediately come here and edit this review and up the star rating. I WANT this company to succeed!__________________________________________________EDIT: Amazing. Within hours of posting this review, Matthew of Scaredy Cut had contacted me AND mailed me a replacement pair of scissors to try out. Now *that* is some impressive customer service!**************************************************EDIT 22 March 2013: I’ve now had these scissors 9 months and used them to trim my Maine Coon’s hair 3 times. Each time it gets a little easier and I’m faster at it. The secret is to have scissors that are tight (I had to have mine replaced) and to take my time. Cut small tufts at first and not too deep. Make more than one pass. Follow the video. It works. I cut her hair today down to the undercoat and evened out the fur and brushed her in less than an hour (this is on a VERY LARGE 14 lbs female cat!) … and she looks pretty good. And that is taking her fur from 3 inches down to about 1/2 inch (except for her head, cowl and tail, which I didn’t touch).BOTTOM LINE: They work and get the job done and my cat purrs the entire time.I will add that the scissors could be sharper, hence why the rating is only 4 star. They aren’t barber-quality scissors and the thumb hole is too small for me. So I take my time and give my thumb a rest. But this is a LOT cheaper than taking the cat to a groomer, if she’d even allow it, which I doubt. My wish is this idea but with thin barber-quality scissors like we use to cut human hair, but that would seriously raise the price as such scissors are expensive. So for the money, THESE ARE GREAT! And EVERY email or inquiry is answered quickly. They bend over backwards to make you happy. Seriously!________________________________________Nov 26, 2014 EDIT:The company upgraded the scissors and asked me to try them out… Wow. MUCH sharper! These scissors, service and idea get 5 STARS from me now. A breeze to cut my Maine Coon’s incredibly long hair and dense undercoat. I highly recommend these scissors to anyone who wants to trim their cat or dog’s hair. The scissors work. My cat would *never* put up with electric clippers so this idea has been a savior for me. Thanks.

Great DIY tool
The first time I received the product there was an issue with its effectiveness in actually cutting the hair. The scissors have an adjustable knob to create more or less pressure between the blades cutting edges. For some reason it was just not giving me the results I expected. The company reached out after my return to inquire. Through the messages I could see this smaller business was really invested in their product and genuinely cared for the feedback and opportunity to “make it right”. With the arrival of a replacement, I was able to put it to use this week. It was much better this time around! My guy is getting much more sensitive in his older age and has never really enjoyed our grooming sessions. As dogs age out they tend to get a bit lumpy and bumpy. This product is very helpful in avoiding those trouble areas with clippers and still achieving an accurate cut. We find it especially helpful on his small sensitive legs. As a DIY pet owner it’s simplicity in design and effectiveness was just what I needed. To be honest I have, over the years, tried to rig up something similar at times of frustration. Not knowing what to even search for to locate an item like this and not seeing it (at the time) on any group platforms as a common tool of the trade. I am extremely pleased with both the product and the customer service support provided. The only thing I could add as a comment for “improvement” would be to have an option to purchase ONLY the scissor element of the product. While my main use of the scissors is rounding out his legs I struggle to only use the right handed pair as my hands tire and it is difficult to maneuver around legs when I am in a stationary set up. I may not be explaining myself well but regardless of my issues the product itself is of good and useful quality. Their care and dedication to “making it right” and providing a useful tool to ease the task of grooming was a sign of a quality company. Give it a try if you DIY. Your pooch will thank you.

Right handed Pink set – NIIIICE Scissors!! I am used to Gators, these do NOT disappoint !!
I was worried that these would be a dull pair of weak diecast metal scissors. I was SOOO wrong! These have that nice sharp swish sound as the two blades close and cut amazingly well. They take a bit to get used to, and by that I mean making sure the comb is flat to the skin of the dog. My dogs are Coton de Tulear and one is older with knee problems and trying to get him to stand for any length of time is impossible. He can’t even lay on one side too long with out needing to change position.These scissors cut a hunk of hair fast and I can do a hunk about the size of a quarter without any trouble. The comb covers the end of the scissors so you do not have to worry about stabbing your pet and the comb teeth are not sharp enough to do harm either if you are paying attention.I have the right handed pair but I am curious if the left handed might have been a better choice since you have to hold a hunk of hair then cut it.I would by these again, it is slower than am electric clipper but the quality of the cuts and the blades is worth th purchase.My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because I am not sure how to sharpen them in the future.I will add a picture in the future when I finish trimming his coat.

Great idea!
This is really a great idea for animals that can’t handle clippers, the blade really needs to be razor sharp but still works great. Love this product and is very easy to use.

Pour les chiens craintifs que la tondeuse terrorise, c’est le top !Travail propre et facile à utiliser, forcément plus long qu’à la tondeuse mais chien décontracté c’est génial !

My dog is scared of everything. So taking her to the groomer is a stress-inducing event of epic proportions! Please see pics from before and after using these scissors.Here’s why I love this item:1. They are quiet. So quiet that my dog had a little nap while I was clipping her.2. No electrical outlet needed. So I can clip my dog wherever she feels most comfortable.3. Sharp. It would be difficult to hurt the dog when used properly. But don’t use your fingers to remove fur from the blades. Ouch!4. Cost effective5. Item claims to have a life-time guarantee6. Super cute carry case7. Safe. Unlike electric clippers, there is no fear of nicking the dog’s skin or the blades overheating.8. Can choose the size of the safety guard for shorter or longer trims.9. Fool proof! Easy-to-follow instructions provided.I imagine my grooming skills will improve with time! But even if they don’t, I’m still extremely pleased with my dog’s new look. And most importantly, it was a fear-free and stress-free experience. 🙂
