Dog Grooming Supplies question by littledovehrm: Dog Grooming Supplies. Which Brand do you prefer and why?
My Daughter wants to start grooming Dogs after school and on the weekends to help pay for her own dogs. She shows dogs for 4-H and AKC. I am just curious about the clippers. I don’t want to buy a cheap pair, yet I don’t want to spend a huge amount on clippers either. I want to get her a quality brand that will stand up to repetitive use.

Which Brand of Clippers would you prefer for Dog Grooming?

Why?

Do you own a pair of the recommend clippers and are you happy with them?

Thank you for your time.

I am a Dog Groomer in a professional shop and the clippers we use are:

Andis Dog Clippers- solid 5/5 stars off Ebay- They are very smooth and easy to clean, not too heavy, and feel good in your hands.

Andis UltraEdge blades are also what i reccomend as the blades you use with your clippers. We use these as well and have all our sizes from this brand.

Dog Grooming & Routine Care

All dogs need regular grooming. It improves the appearance of short coated dogs, and is essential for those with long coats. It also does much to stop unwanted hair on the furniture and carpets. Start as soon as you get your dog or puppy. If you get dogs used to grooming from an early age they will accept it as a normal routine and become to enjoy it.

For the shorter haired dogs a fairly firm clothes brush will be sufficient, but if you need one that’s a bit stiffer your local pet store should have a wide choice of brushes. Regular brushing will remove the loose hair and give a shine to the dogs coat. For long haired breeds a strong steel comb as well as a brush is essential. So many owners think they are grooming their dogs when they are actually only running a brush over the surface of the tangled coat. A daily grooming should prevent the formation of matts and tangles, even in spaniels and poodles.

Parasites

Remember while grooming your dog to look for parasites such as fleas and lice which may have been picked up by your dog. To see how to deal with these, please visit our pet website which is shown below.

You may also find grass seeds in the coat, and especially between the toes. These, if not removed, may penetrate the skin causing painful abscesses. A daily examination of the coat will also give you the opportunity to check for skin irritations that may need attention.

Foot Care.

The feet should be examined daily, especially the hairy types of dog such as spaniels, for the presence of thorns. It is better to keep the hair between the toes and under the pads trimmed short, and to wash the feet after exercise in muddy weather. The accumulation of grit and hard packed mud under the pads may contribute to the formation of cysts or boils on the feet. Keeping your dogs feet clean is a must.
