How to Choose a Dog Grooming Clipper
Getting a dog involves more than only feeding and walking him. Dog owners need to adhere to a grooming routine to help keep their pet healthy and happy. Your dog\’s healthy lifestyle requires frequent grooming, both at home and with a professional. 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 various models to choose from, ranging in different price brackets. Take it from me, when I say that the cheaper the trimmer, the more frustration and dissatisfaction you will experience. A mid-range clipper manufactured by a pet industry leader such as Oster, Wahl, or Andis will provide you with a much better product, a sharper blade system, and a longer life for the investment. It\’s important to only use a clipper on your pet that\’s designed for animal use.
Maintaining your pet\’s coat can be an overwhelming job. If you need help with how to properly trim, brush or clean your pet\’s coat, check with a professional groomer or your veterinarian. You should be able to get some advice from your groomer in between their appointments. This helps make the grooming experience — both at home and at the groomer\’s — a pleasant one.
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOOKING FOR A PET CLIPPER * A product that fits your price range * Manufacturer – pet industry leaders * The option to change the speed of the blade * RPM\’s – the higher the RPM, the cleaner the cut * How much the trimmer weighs * blade options and interchangeable blades by manufacturer * Battery operated or standard electric corded pet trimmer
A pet clipper ought to be of high quality, easy to handle and rather quiet. The right handling of the pet trimmer will result in an even trim and a relaxing experience for your pet. Should you require a hand in learning how to handle the dog clipper on your pet, request a brief appointment with your groomer to get some instruction. We would rather help you uphold your pet\’s coat than for you delay too long and have to have your pet\’s coat completely removed.
When you find a great pet groomer, it will make the job of grooming much easier and it will be a tool that lasts for a long time.
