Getting a dog requires more than just feeding and walking him. Dog owners must provide a grooming schedule to help keep their pet healthy and happy. A part of a healthy dog’s lifestyle is a suitable grooming kit for home use and in between regular grooming appointments with a professional groomer. A complete dog grooming kit should have brushes, shears, a nail trimmer, and a good shampoo for your pet specifically.
At the moment, we’ll be concentrating on the dog clipper. There are numerous clippers to select from, in a wide price range. Take it from me, when I say that the cheaper the trimmer, the more frustration and dissatisfaction you will experience. For a mid-level price, you can get a better quality clipper from a more recognized company, such as Andis or Oster, which will last a longer time and give you better results. Only use pet trimmers specifically designed for animals.
Caring for your pet’s coat can be a scary chore. If you are unsure how to properly clip, brush or clean your pet’s coat, consult a professional groomer or your veterinarian. Your groomer will be more than happy to show you the proper way to maintain your pet’s coat in between regular appointments. Regular grooming, both at home and with your professional groomer, will make the experience for you and your dog much more enjoyable.
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN LOOKING FOR A PET CLIPPER * A price tag that suits you * A product made by a well-known manufacturer * Variable speed options * RPM’s – the higher the RPM, the cleaner the cut * The weight of the trimmer should be light and easy to handle * blade options and interchangeable blades by manufacturer * Battery operated or standard electric corded pet trimmer
A pet groomer needs to be of good quality, easy to handle and rather noiseless. Correct handling of the pet groomer will give a level trim and a relaxing experience for your pet. Should you need a hand in learning how to operate the dog trimmer on your pet, enquire about a quick appointment with your pet groomer to get help. We would preferably help you uphold your pet’s coat than for you linger too long only to have to totally cut off your pet’s coat completely.
When you find a great pet groomer, it will make the job of grooming much easier and it will be a tool that lasts for a long time.
