How to Choose a Dog Grooming Clipper

Owning a dog involves more than just feeding and walking him. Dog owners must provide a grooming routine to help keep their pet healthy and happy. Regular grooming at home and with a professional groomer is an important factor in the healthy life of any dog. Your kit should include brushes, combs, nail trimmers, pet shears, a pet trimmer or dog clipper, quality shampoo and conditioner specifically for your pet.

Right now, we will take a look at the dog clipper specifically. There are numerous models to pick from, ranging in different price brackets. From experience, I can attest that the lower the price of the clippers, the more disappointment will result. For a mid-level price, you can get a better quality clipper from a more recognized company, such as Andis or Oster, which will last a longer time and give you better results. Only use pet trimmers specifically designed for animals.

Maintaining your pet’s coat can be a daunting job. If you need help with how to properly trim, brush or clean your pet’s coat, ask your professional groomer or your veterinarian. You should be able to get some advice from your groomer in between their appointments. Regular grooming, both at home and with your professional groomer, will make the experience for you and your dog much more enjoyable.

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOOKING FOR A PET CLIPPER * A price tag that suits you * Manufacturer - pet industry leaders * Variable speed options * The number of RPM’s, which will determine the quality of the cut * Weight of clipper (there are battery operated models that weigh only ounces…while the electric pet trimmers can weigh one pound) * What options are available for the blades and what does the manufacture have in terms of interchangeable blades * Choose between battery powered or electrical clippers

A pet trimmer ought to be of high quality, easy to handle and rather noiseless. Correct handling of the pet clipper will result in an even trim and a calming experience for your pet. Should you want assistance in how to handle the dog groomer on your pet, request a brief appointment with your groomer to get some instruction. We would sooner help you sustain your pet’s coat than for you linger too long only to have to totally cut off your pet’s coat completely.
