Professional Clippers, Blades, and Shears

Dog clippers are used for removing the initial bulk of hair or matted hair, thinning dense undercoats and creating foundational grooming shapes. Shears are used for blending, refining styles and trimming sensitive or delicate areas.

Professional dog grooming clippers come in both cordless and corded models and the focus is on customizable high-quality blades, strong motor speed, long battery life, durable build, and quietness. Professional dog groomers often use these brands of clippers:  Andis, Artero, Heiniger, Oster and Wahl.

Grooming shears for dogs can be straight, curved or designed for thinning. They come in a variety of sizes, and groomers look for high-quality materials– shears that are razor sharp and designed for comfort during use. Dog groomers often use these brands of shears: Andis, Artero, Geib, Kenchi, Loyalty Pet and Scharf. 

The best dog grooming blades are made of steel or ceramic-coated steel and rate high on the Rockwell Scale (55+). You can find blades that are frozen for further hardening and strength, and ceramic-coated blades which stay cooler than steel blades.

High-quality pet clippers have multiple speeds and adjustable blades for a variety of trimming needs, have anti-slip housings for safety, long cords for maneuverability, and are lightweight to reduce fatigue. Quality cordless clippers have ion-lithium long-life batteries and fast recharge times.
