Owning a dog requires more than only feeding and walking him. Dog owners must provide a grooming regimen to help keep their pet healthy and happy. Your dog’s healthy lifestyle requires frequent grooming, both at home and with a professional. A complete dog grooming kit should have brushes, shears, a nail trimmer, and a good shampoo for your pet specifically.

At the moment, we’ll be concentrating on the dog clipper. There are numerous models to pick from, which range in price. As a professional groomer, I can tell you that the lower priced clippers will only lead to disappointment in the short term. 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. Remember to just use groomers that are created specifically for use on dogs.

Caring for your pet’s coat can be a daunting task. If you need help with how to properly clip, brush or clean your pet’s coat, ask your professional groomer or your veterinarian. Your groomer will be more than happy to show you the proper way to maintain your pet’s coat in between regular appointments. This helps make the grooming experience — both at home and at the groomer’s — a pleasant one.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A PET TRIMMER * Price range that suits your budget * A product made by a well-known manufacturer * Variable speed options * 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 needs to be of superior quality, lightweight and relatively silent. The right handling of the pet trimmer will provide an even trim and a calming experience for your pet. Should you need assistance in how to manage the dog clipper on your pet, ask your groomer for a short instructional appointment. We would rather help you maintain your pet’s coat than for you delay too long until it needs to be totally 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.
