You are referring to what we in the grooming field call a “sanitary trim.” This refers to the genital area of both male and female dogs as well as the area around the anus. Some females do have a discharge that leaves the hair around the vulva sticky as your dog does. Use a #10 blade on your dog hair clippers and make sure it is not too hot or too dull. If you burn or cut her sensitive membranes you will cause her great pain and injury. Always use a light touch; digging dog clipper blades into the tissue in this sensitive area can also cause injury. I would also suggest that you take her to see the vet right away as a discharge could indicate a medical condition that requires attention. Sometimes a discharge indicates pyometra, a serious uterine infection, or another type of vaginal or urinary tract infection. If she has not been spayed and the discharge has blood in it, that indicates she is in heat and could become pregnant from any canine suitor who happens along, so unless you plan to breed her, you should get her spayed.

You will need similar supplies as listed above for male dogs.
Additionally, the procedures are quite similar, with only a few differences.
Leather the area around the vagina with soapy water, being careful not to enter inside.
Trim the hair on the top side of your dog’s vagina and trim along the sides and underneath (when possible).
This area is prone to infection and irritation, so keeping lean and hair-free is crucial.
One of the most important parts of grooming your dog is learning how to trim the hair around their privates so you don’t injure them.
Trimming your dog’s private parts is essential for keeping him healthy and happy.
This can help prevent irritation, infections, and other common problems in unkempt areas.
Also, grooming these areas helps keep your dog’s skin clean and healthy.

I get frustrated every time she comes home because the groomer always leaves her hair long around her lady parts. I have always thought that they were missing that area, maybe forgetting to go back and finish the job, but having three different groomers doing the same thing has made me wonder, is there a reason why they leave it long in that area. I always end up trimming it myself to keep it clean down there.
