The Dog Training Review

Dog Clippers
Owning a dog entails more than only feeding and walking it. Dog owners must adhere to a grooming regimen 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.

At the moment, we’ll be concentrating on the dog clipper. There are numerous Dog Clippers to choose from, in a wide price range. As a professional groomer, I can tell you that the lower priced clippers will only lead to disappointment in the short term. A number of well-known manufacturers, such as Oster, Andis and Wahl, create a good quality product that will last much longer, at a mid-range price. It’s important to only use a clipper on your pet that’s designed for animal use.

Taking care of 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, ask your professional groomer or your veterinarian. Many groomers will be glad to show you how to properly do this, if they have some time, or between other clients. This helps make the grooming experience — both at home and at the groomer’s — a pleasant one.

A FEW THINGS TO TRY TO REMEMBER WHEN SEARCHING FOR A PET GROOMER
* A price tag that suits you
* Manufacturer – pet industry leaders
* Speed(s) – better models have two or more speeds
* RPM’s – the higher the RPM, the cleaner the cut
* The weight of the trimmer should be light and easy to handle
* 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 clipper should be of high quality, lightweight and rather quiet. Proper handling of the pet trimmer will result in a level trim and a comforting experience for your pet. Should you want assistance in how to handle the dog clipper on your pet, request a brief appointment with your groomer to get some instruction. We would preferably help you uphold your pet’s coat than for you delay too long only to have to totally cut off your pet’s coat completely.

A quality pet grooming clipper will be an investment that will provide years of service and will make your home pet grooming an easier task.
