Little essentials. Lots of love.

This page holds dog grooming clippers and hair trimmers for home use: rechargeable clipper kits, a grooming clipper set with a vacuum cup that collects hair as you cut, and small electric paw pad trimmers, one with an LED light. It is for owners who want to tidy their dog's coat between professional grooms, keep paws and sanitary areas neat, or trim a dog who finds the groomer stressful.

What is in this range

There are two kinds of tool here. Full-size grooming clippers, including rechargeable cordless kits, take the body coat down to an even length and come with guard combs that set how much hair is left. One professional-style set has a 2.5 liter vacuum cup with suction settings that pulls cut hair away as you clip, which keeps the floor and the dog cleaner.

Paw pad trimmers are small, narrow clippers for the hair between the toes and pads, around the eyes and in the sanitary area. One has an LED light to help you see into the coat.

Clippers or trimmers

Use body clippers for an all-over trim on coats that keep growing, such as Poodle mixes, Shih Tzus, Yorkies and doodles. Use a small trimmer for detail work: hair between paw pads that collects ice, mud and burrs, the area around the eyes, and under the tail. Many owners only need a trimmer and leave full haircuts to a groomer.

Do not shave double-coated breeds like Huskies, Golden Retrievers and German Shepherds down to the skin. Their undercoat insulates against heat and cold, and shaving can change how it grows back. Brushing and deshedding tools suit those coats better.

Before you start

Clip a clean, dry, fully brushed coat. Clippers snag on mats and dirt, and dragging them through a tangle pulls the skin. Brush out tangles first, and if a mat is tight against the skin, leave it for a groomer or your vet rather than trying to cut it out.

Charge cordless clippers fully, check the blade is clean and sharp, and fit a guard comb longer than you think you need. You can always take more off on a second pass.

How to clip safely

Move the clipper in the direction the hair grows, with the blade flat against the body rather than pointed into the skin. Keep the skin taut with your other hand over bony areas, folds, the armpits and the belly, where it is easy to nick. Work in short sessions.

Blades heat up as they run. Touch the blade against your wrist every few minutes, and pause or switch blades if it feels hot, because a hot blade can burn a dog's skin. Never clip around the eyes or genitals with a body clipper; use a small trimmer and great care.

Getting your dog comfortable

Let your dog sniff the clipper, then turn it on at a distance with treats so they get used to the sound and vibration. Start with an easy area like the back, keep sessions to a few minutes, and end on a good note.

A non-slip mat or a grooming table with a safety loop keeps a dog steady. If your dog is very frightened or snaps, stop. A groomer or your vet can help, and some dogs do better with a professional throughout. Check the skin after clipping, and see your vet if you notice redness, sores or a rash that does not settle.

What is the best way to trim dog hair at home?

Bathe and brush the coat first, use a guard comb, clip in the direction of hair growth with the blade flat, and keep sessions short. Use a small trimmer for paws and the face.

Are cordless dog clippers good enough?

Rechargeable cordless clippers suit most home trims on small and medium dogs and are easier to maneuver. For thick coats and large dogs, choose a powerful model and keep it charged.

Should I shave my double-coated dog in summer?

No. A double coat helps protect against heat and sunburn, and shaving can affect regrowth. Brush out the loose undercoat instead.

How do I trim the hair between my dog's paw pads?

Use a small paw pad trimmer, spread the toes gently and trim hair level with the pads. Go slowly and stop if your dog pulls away.

Can dog clippers burn the skin?

Yes, blades heat up with use. Check the blade temperature every few minutes and pause or switch blades if it feels hot.
