Read About Choosing Dog Electric Clippers

If you're cutting your dog's hair with electric clippers, you will need some clipper accessories to get the results you want for your dog.

Things to consider: Type of accessories, which accessories to use, and taking care of the equipment.

  • Finishing Touch - Electric clipper accessories, like comb attachments, make dog grooming so much easier with results that you and your dog alike will be much happier with overall. A great finishing touch to any dog grooming session with electric clippers is to use a #40 clipper blade with a snap-on comb of your desired length.
  • Comb Collection - For proper dog grooming you will need a few different clipper guards (or snap-on combs) in your electric clipper accessories kit. For example, a dog with a wooly coat will benefit from a 1 1/2" guard on your electric clippers, but if you are trimming hair that has grown too long over the front of her legs, you will want a 3/4" guard for that. Making sure you have the right length snap-on combs for each section of your dog's body will make sure that she looks like she belongs in a dog show and not a freak show.
  • Make Them Last - Your dog grooming session is not over when the dog is groomed. Your next step is to clean your dog grooming tools, to ensure their long-lasting life. Be sure to have the proper assortment of cleaning formulas, brushes, and lubricants on hand so you can take as good care of all your dog grooming tools and electric clipper accessories as you do of your dog.
