But before you buy your clippers, you will have to decide which ones are right for you and your dog, some popular brands are Andis, Oster and Wahl. Not all nail clippers are for one purpose. Some are for trimming or grooming your dog in different areas of its body and can come in different sizes, some for larger dogs and others for smaller dogs. Price will also be a big factor.
If you are buying dog trimmers for the first time, it may be a good idea to purchase a kit. They usually come with nail clippers, protector, comb, scissors, etc., and some even come with a DVD that gives you advice and shows you how to groom a dog ramp for car.
Generally, the best thing to do when deciding on your clippers is to look at customer reviews, or better yet, talk to someone who knows they have purchased the same clippers for dogs you are thinking of. In my experience, if you invest in a good set at first, they may cost more than you are planning, but if you take good care of them they will last a long time and this will probably save you money in the long run.
So how do you take care of them? Well, some tips would be to clean them well and grease them regularly and after each use. This will prevent the blade from jamming and lubricate it, preventing it from wearing out so quickly.
When you're done with your dog trimmers always, but put them back in their case or in a safe place. This will prevent them from hitting them, which could damage their delicate parts.
Always wash your dog before cutting it. This will remove dirt and grime from your dog's coat, causing more friction on the blade of your dog clipper. This will make it wear out faster. Always remember to dry your dog first, but with a hair dryer as before starting to trim.
When trimming your dog, always check to see if your mower blade is heating up. Never allow it to get too hot; This will burn your dog and cause pain. It is also bad for your cutter blade. If you feel it is heating up, cool it down with clipper coolant.
