Clippers for Dog Grooming

A poor motor will frequently overheat when it runs for a long time, as it will when dealing with the sheer volume of hair that needs to be trimmed on even a mid sized dog.

Normal or low quality clippers will not last long when used for a dog, necessitating repeated purchases—not to mention the fact that when clippers break in the middle of a grooming session, you are left with a half groomed dog until they can be replaced.

For this reason, prioritize quality and design when shopping for dog grooming clippers. When purchased from a respected manufacturer through a trusted merchant, your clippers can be your go-to grooming tool for years to come.

Quality Manufacturing: Andis Clippers

Andis brand clippers are a trusted brand used by professional dog groomers for decades.

Their BeSPOKE clippers have a two speed rotary motor capable of 3800-4500 strokes per minute, resulting in a buttery smooth action. Despite using all this power, the dual lithium ion batteries have an 80 minute run time, giving you plenty of time to finish up your doggie ‘do.

They come with a state of the art charging mat, making charging in between uses an easy and intuitive matter of setting the clippers on top of the mat to be powered by induction.

Meanwhile, Andis Vida clippers have one speed, a rapid 5500 strokes per minute. The battery life is a generous one hour and 30 minutes of use.

Andis Pulse ZR II cordless trimmers have a five speed motor, making them very versatile for many hair types. They don’t have a wireless charging option but with their battery life of over 2 hours of use, you might not even miss it.

Andis Ultra-Edge AGC clippers are a corded option for when you know you will be clipping for extended periods. Their price point reflects the fact that they don’t need batteries, and they have a reliable two speed motor.

Clippers: Invest In the Best

No matter what breed of dog you groom or own yourself, you will benefit from a nice pair of clippers. Whether your dog has a thick double coat or a short, smooth hide, the edges can get ragged and certain areas are difficult to keep clean without clippers.

To keep a dog healthy and tidy, purchase a good pair of clippers and some high quality blades. Invest the time in training the dog to tolerate clipping, and you will be rewarded with a beautiful dog who smells better and stays healthier, and with a stronger trust bond.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you groom a dog for beginners?

If you are a beginner and want to learn how to groom a dog, start with a thorough bath. Once your dog is mostly dry, go over him with a grooming brush, taking out as many tangles as you can. Then start using your clippers. Prioritize hair that grows over or into the eyes, mouth, and under tail area; then neaten up paws, ears and any other area that looks rough.

What clippers do dog groomers recommend?

Dog groomers recommend clippers that have a sturdy and reliable motor, steady and smooth action, and a quiet motor. For corded clippers, the Andis Ultra-Edge AGC with a two speed motor are a widely recommended option. If you prefer the convenience and flexibility of cordless clippers, go with Andis BeSPOKE clippers; they have great battery life and a sturdy motor that holds up to even the thickest coat.

In what direction do you cut when grooming a dog?

When grooming a dog with clippers, you should cut in a direction that follows the natural direction of the hair. This will give the smoothest, most natural look to the hair. Over most of the dog’s body the hair grows toward the tail, so clip from front to back. For the delicate bits of the dog’s body, like around the base of the tail, near the paws and around the ears, there are many changes of the direction of hair growth, so follow as well as you can while prioritizing safety.

Should you cut dog's hair wet or dry?

When you cut your dog’s hair, it is better to clip when the hair is dry. While you will want to clean your dog before clipping, to leave less residue on your clippers and make sure there are no avoidable tangles or mats to contend with, you will want the dog’s fur to be thoroughly dry before you start clipping in order to ensure an even cut.
