Best Pet Clippers for Home Grooming
Wahl pet clippers make home grooming simple with quiet motors, precision blades & cordless control that helps keep your dogs & cats calm during every trim. Whether you’re tidying up between appointments or doing full grooms at home, our pet clippers and trimmers deliver smooth, stress-free results.
How to Choose the Right Dog Clipper
- Coat Type: Short coats need standard adjustable blades, while long or double coats benefit from powerful, multi-speed professional dog clippers that glide through thick fur.
- Clipper Speed: Variable speeds provide versatility for thick or sensitive areas — use high speed for dense coats and low speed for precision work.
- Ease of Use: Wahl’s ergonomic, lightweight designs make grooming comfortable. Choose cordless models for flexibility or corded options for consistent power during long sessions.
How Often Should I Clip My Dog?
The frequency of grooming depends on your dog’s coat type:
- Long-haired breeds (e.g. Golden Retriever, Shih Tzu) – Every 4–6 weeks
- Short-haired breeds (e.g. Beagle, Boxer) – Every 2–3 months
- Curly or wavy coats (e.g. Poodle, Bichon Frise) – Every 6–8 weeks
- Double-coated breeds (e.g. Husky, German Shepherd) – Every 1–3 months with occasional trimming
Regular grooming keeps your pet comfortable, reduces shedding & supports coat health. Complete your routine with dog shampoo and combs & brushes for a clean, polished finish.
Tips for Shaving Dog Without Skin Irritation
- Prepare the coat: Wash & dry your dog first to remove dirt and tangles.
- Select the right settings: Choose a blade length that suits your dog’s coat & avoid cutting too close to the skin.
- Trim in the direction of hair growth: This helps prevent irritation & ensures an even cut.
- Keep blades cool: Check your clipper blades regularly to prevent overheating. For guidance on caring for your tools, read our expert article on how to maintain pet clippers.
