You love your furry friend, so making sure they are in tip-top shape is important. While regular trips to the groomer will help keep their fur looking great, you can also do a lot of the grooming yourself with the right tools. And one of those tools is a good pair of dog clippers. But which ones are best for your pup? Let’s break it down.
Types of Clippers
When shopping for dog clippers, there are two main types to consider—corded and cordless clippers. Both types come with advantages and disadvantages that you should weigh carefully when making your decision.
Corded Clippers
Corded clippers come with more power than cordless models, meaning they can cut through thicker coats quickly and efficiently. Additionally, since they don’t need to be charged or have their batteries replaced, they can run indefinitely without interruption. However, corded models may be awkward to maneuver due to their length and weight, and they can be difficult to use in tight areas like around the ears or face.
Cordless Clippers
Cordless clippers are lightweight and easy to handle, making them ideal for detailed grooming jobs like trimming around delicate areas like the eyes or muzzle. They also don’t have cords that could get tangled up during grooming sessions. On the downside, cordless clippers aren’t as powerful as corded models so they may not be suitable for thick-coated dogs. Additionally, their batteries need to be recharged periodically which can interrupt a grooming session if you don’t have a spare battery handy.
Blade Length/Size
No matter which type of clipper you choose (corded or cordless), it's important to consider blade length/size before purchasing a set of dog clippers. Blades are available in sizes ranging from #000 (which is best suited for small breeds) all the way up to #10 (which is best suited for large breeds). It's always best practice to select blades that fit your needs as well as those of your pup!
For example, if you have both short-haired and long-haired dogs at home then selecting an adjustable blade size would be beneficial since it allows you to switch between different lengths depending on your needs at any given time.
To End
When it comes time to choose a set of dog clippers, several factors should be taken into consideration—from type (corded vs cordless) to blade size/length—to ensure that you make the right choice for both you and your pup. By doing some research beforehand and taking advantage of resources like this blog post, you'll be able to find just what you need at an affordable price! With the right set of dog clippers, keeping your four-legged friend looking great will become easier than ever before!
