Clippers
Everything you need to know about dog clippers and grooming at home
Dog clippers are practical tools when the coat needs to be trimmed, groomed or shaped regularly. A suitable dog clipper makes everyday grooming easier, particularly for dogs with fast-growing, thick or high-maintenance coats.
Dog clippers for different coat types
Depending on the coat type, different clippers and cutting heads are required. Fine, soft coats have different requirements to thick, curly or wiry coats. A good dog clipper should cut reliably, run smoothly and feel comfortable in the hand, so that grooming remains as stress-free as possible for both dog and owner.
For partial and full-body clipping
Clippers are suitable for both minor touch-ups on paws, ears or the face, as well as for larger grooming jobs on the body. For sensitive areas, particularly quiet and easy-to-handle devices are advantageous. In the case of heavily matted fur or if you are unsure, it is worth proceeding with caution or seeking professional assistance.
What to look out for when buying
Key factors include a suitable cutting head, a comfortable noise level, good cutting performance and easy cleaning. Accessories such as attachment combs, grooming oil and cleaning brushes also help to keep the clipper in good working order for a long time. Regular maintenance of the blades ensures a clean cut and greater comfort when clipping. Also, consider where you want to clip your dog – do you one Is there a power socket nearby, or do you need a battery-powered device?
Gentle familiarisation with the clippers
Many dogs need to get used to the noise and vibration first. So start slowly, let your dog get to know the clippers at their own pace, and work in short, positive grooming sessions. This way, clipping becomes a relaxing part of grooming.
