They look like scissors, but have serated edges inside and the tips of the scissors are rounded. You can buy them from most good pet stores and if you don't see them ask for them.

Then get a good grooming brush and try to brush your dog every evening when things settle down. Even dogs have to be careful of how much sun they get. Border Collies are known to have to have SUV lotion put on their noses (skin cancer can develop) and dogs like humans can get skin cancer.

Jergens is a line of skin products; I do not see how you can use a Jergens product on your dog unless it is bald or has a bald spot. If your dog has a rash or any other skin problem, it is best that you consult your vet first before considering any type of medication.

You should be able to find some in the directories listed online. Alternatively, you may also search at other B2B websites like alibaba, ttnet and other free directories for more wholesale suppliers.
