Even if you regularly take your prized pooch on pet spa retreats, you'll want to keep clippers at hand just in case little Max is having a bad fur day the very afternoon the president of the American Kennel Association decides to drop by for tea. There are dog clippers for every type of dog. Whether your pup is a long-haired Cocker Spaniel or a Puli with rasta-style dreadlocks, you can find the kind of clippers and trimmers you need. Some grooming tools come with cooling fans that will help keep your dog cool, calm and collected. Some are designed for heavy-duty coats, while some are for trimming your pooch's foot pads and the soft fur around his ears. You'll want to use a blade lubricant and snap-on blades for best results.
Keeping your Terrier trimmed or your Poodle patterned is much easier with the right trimming equipment, nail clippers and grooming tools. Clipping your Cocker to look her prettiest is simple when you have the best equipment. When searching for dog clippers, you can also find instructional videos for show grooming or pet grooming for many different dog breeds.
When shopping around for dog clippers and trimmers, look for the very same equipment that professional groomers use on your dog. Keep in mind whether your pet's fur is curly, dense, long or short, or all of the above. Is the undercoat fine or frizzy? You'll want reliable tools that are designed to groom your dog's particular size, fur type and temperament. You wouldn't trim Fifi the Tea Cup Poodle's delicate ear and muzzle fur with the same clippers you'd use on an Irish Wolfhound, would you? Hand-scissoring your Bichon Frise for the dog show or giving him a utilitarian pet clipping is a cinch with professional dog clippers.
Finding the right nail clippers is as important as having the right dog clippers for baby Fifi's fur. Nail clippers also come in a variety of sizes and qualities. Look for the very best quality clippers that are sure to stay sharp and allow you to trim your dog's nails easily and quickly. Keep Styptic pads or Styptic powder on hand to stop minor external bleeding from nail clipping.
Professional dog groomers make their work easier by using grooming tables. With the right grooming equipment, the perfect dog clippers, and a fabulous grooming table, you might get so good at trimming, clipping and combing your adorable Schnauzer's "do" that your neighbors start lining up at the door, begging you to work your "shear magic" on their own motley mutts.
All of us love to look our best, and that includes dogs, of course. Give your best friend all the advantages for looking his or her most appealing, at home or at the show. Get the right dog clippers for your dog's breed.
