Electric dog clippers make trimming pet hair easy and quick, at home or in a professional setting. Whether an animal is a show dog or simply a treasured family companion, keeping its coat properly groomed is essential to keeping hair clean and maintaining a tidy appearance, particularly for long-haired or intricately groomed dogs.
Grooming tools can save any pooch owner money. Hand-held clippers allow an owner to fully groom his or her pet or to complete touch-ups between trips to a professional groomer. Clippers generally are used for an all-over haircut, while trimmers are used for detailed trimming, around the eyes or ears, for example.
Cutting tools usually include a selection of blades and combs to accommodate different trims, allowing the operator to trim fur closer in some places or to leave the coat longer on some pups than on others. Models that have more powerful motors are more effective, especially on thicker coats, and tools that are designed to be ergonomic and to stay cool are more comfortable to use. Some models also are designed to be maintenance free, meaning the unit does not have to be oiled regularly.
Canine hair clippers come in both corded and cordless models. Cordless versions provide better maneuverability than corded versions, but they are usually less powerful than corded versions and do require recharging in between uses. Therefore, corded models tend to be more useful and appropriate when a large number of animals must be groomed, such as at a dog boarding kennel or professional grooming shop. For most home uses, a cordless trimmer will provide plenty of charge.
Clipping and trimming tools can be found for less than $40, though many popular brands sell for more than $100. The cost can be recouped quickly if the tools are used regularly, necessitating fewer trips to a professional groomer.
