DO I NEED A DOG CLIPPER OR A DOG TRIMMER?
DOG TRIMMERS
The clue is really in the name and as the name would suggest, a dog ‘trimmer’ is designed for trimming your dog. They are generally small and light in weight and mainly used to tidy up the coat after a full body clip.
A dog trimmer is perfect to use for close up detailed work, such as trimming around the sensitive areas like the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and paws.
The blades on a dog trimmer are very easy to use and feature variable cutting depths to allow for easy adjusting according to your requirements.
On the dog trimmer blade, the range varies from a short cut 0.8mm to 1.6mm. Longer cuts can be achieved by using one of the four comb guide attachments.
DOG CLIPPERS
Dog clippers, in contrast, are typically larger than dog trimmers and are designed for professional dog clipping on any breed, assuming you have the correct dog grooming blades for your dog.
These clippers are more robust than a dog trimmer and feature snap on/snap off A5 blades crafted from a premium grade of Japanese steel. These blades are precision engineered to ensure that the dog clipper blades stays sharper and longer.
Mains powered dog clippers are used by professional dog groomers, but are just as easy to use at home.
Although cordless dog clippers may be slightly more expensive, they are sometimes considered easier to use as the battery is stored within the handset, so you have no trailing cables to deal with.
There are many different types of blades to use with a dog clipper, ranging from short cut surgical blades up to a 16mm clip. And for the larger breeds of dogs, wide blades are also available with many different depths and finishes to choose from.

WHEN SHOULD YOU START USING DOG CLIPPERS?
It is a good idea to get your four legged friend used to dog clippers from an early age. This will ensure that when you groom your dog at home on a regular basis, he will be familiar with the dog clippers and it will make dog grooming at home a pleasure.
You must however wait until the coat has developed and fully grown out before giving your dog its first clip. Because each breed of dog and coat type is different, this can vary between about 6 months and a year old before you can clip your dog.
