Professional Dog Trimmers
9 products

Dog trimmers do a different job to dog clippers. Where a clipper handles the full-body groom — bulk coat removal, length work, all-over trims — a dog trimmer is the smaller, quieter, more precise tool. Trimmers are what you reach for when the bulk of the groom is done and the detail starts: tidying around the face, neatening paws, sanitary trims around the back end, and finishing the salon edge that separates a good groom from a great one.

Masterclip's range of professional cordless dog trimmers is built around the Showmate II — a lightweight, low-noise cordless trimmer engineered for light-to-medium density coats. The Showmate II range comes in three colours (Pink, Blue, Silver) and is available as a standalone trimmer or bundled with Essential and Professional home-grooming kits.

Professional Dog Trimmers

Dog trimmers do a different job to dog clippers. Where a clipper handles the full-body groom — bulk coat removal, length work, all-over trims — a dog trimmer is the smaller, quieter, more precise tool. Trimmers are what you reach for when the bulk of the groom is done and the detail starts: tidying around the face, neatening paws, sanitary trims around the back end, and finishing the salon edge that separates a good groom from a great one.

Masterclip's range of professional cordless dog trimmers is built around the Showmate II — a lightweight, low-noise cordless trimmer engineered for light-to-medium density coats. The Showmate II range comes in three colours (Pink, Blue, Silver) and is available as a standalone trimmer or bundled with Essential and Professional home-grooming kits.

When to Use a Dog Trimmer Instead of a Dog Clipper

If you're new to home grooming, the simple split: clippers do the heavy work, trimmers do the detail. A dog clipper is built for power and run-length — full-body coat work, salon volume, denser coats. A dog trimmer is built for precision — short bursts of detail work, narrow areas, sensitive zones.

Most professional groomers carry both. If you're choosing between the two:

  • Pick a trimmer if your priority is face, feet, paws or sanitary trims, finishing work on a light-to-medium coat, or quiet operation around a nervous dog or puppy.
  • Pick a clipper if your priority is full-body grooming, thicker or denser coats, or longer salon sessions. Shop our professional dog clippers →

Cordless Dog Trimmers for Face, Feet and Finishing Work

Cordless operation is the standout feature of every trimmer in this collection. In a real grooming session a moving dog and a trailing power lead don't mix — a cable catches on furniture, gets pulled when the dog twists, and limits how comfortably you can position the trimmer for close work.

The Showmate II runs from a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery for approximately 4 hours of run time on a full charge. The motor is multi-speed and engineered for low-noise running, which matters when you're trimming around the ears, eyes and muzzle of a dog that won't sit still for a loud clipper.

Each Showmate II ships with four comb guards (3mm, 6mm, 9mm and 12mm) for adjustable cut lengths — closer for sanitary work and around the paws, longer for finishing the top coat.

Choosing the Right Showmate II Trimmer Set

Three options sit in this collection. Pick the kit that matches what you already own:

  • Showmate II Cordless Dog Trimmer (standalone) — the right choice if you already have brushes, combs and scissors and just need a reliable cordless trimmer.
  • Essential Cordless Home Grooming Set — the Showmate II bundled with starter grooming accessories. See the product page for the full kit contents.
  • Professional Cordless Home Grooming Set — the full kit, including the Showmate II trimmer, slicker brush, comb, 4-pack of grooming scissors and clipper oil. The right option for a first-time home groomer kitting out from scratch.

Pink, Blue or Silver across the range — same trimmer inside, choose the shell that suits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Showmate II a dog face trimmer?

Yes — the Showmate II is designed for detail trimming including face work, around the ears, eyes and muzzle. Its low-noise motor is one of the main reasons groomers reach for it on nervous dogs and puppies during face trims.

Is it suitable as a dog paw trimmer?

Yes. Cordless operation and the 3mm comb guard make the Showmate II well suited to paw work — tidying fur between the pads and around the toes.

What's the difference between a dog trimmer and a dog clipper?

A dog clipper is built for full-body, full-coat work — denser coats, longer sessions, more power. A dog trimmer is built for precision detail and finishing — face, feet, paws, sanitary trims, salon-edge finishing. Most groomers use both. If your priority is detail, start with a trimmer. If your priority is full-body grooming, see our professional dog clippers collection.

How long does the battery last on a Showmate II trimmer?

Approximately 4 hours of cordless run time per full charge.

Are Masterclip dog trimmers quiet enough for nervous dogs?

The Showmate II is engineered for low-noise running, which is one of the main reasons groomers choose it for nervous dogs, anxious dogs and puppies. "Silent dog trimmer" is a loose term — like any motor-driven trimmer, the Showmate II produces some operating sound, but it runs significantly quieter than a full-power clipper.

Are these trimmers suitable for thick or dense coats?

The Showmate II range is optimised for light-to-medium density coats and detail work. For dogs with thicker, denser coats — or for full-body grooming — a higher-power clipper is the right choice. See our professional dog clippers collection, or contact our customer care team for advice.

What blade or comb sizes does the Showmate II use?

Each Showmate II ships with four detachable comb guards: 3mm, 6mm, 9mm and 12mm. Replacement high-carbon-steel Showmate blades are available separately as accessories.

Do you ship across the UK?

Yes — every order from this collection includes fast, free delivery to mainland UK addresses.

Is there a warranty on Masterclip dog trimmers?

Every trimmer and set in this collection includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Spare parts are available, and our in-house repair team can fix faults rather than replace units.
