Frequently Asked Questions
What type of grooming tools do I need for my dog?
If you’re planning on trimming your dog’s hair, you’ll want to look for a quality pair of clippers or scissors designed for grooming. But if you are simply looking for tools to clean up tangled or loose fur, you can opt for a high-quality brush or comb.
What size combs do I need to use with my clippers?
If your dog has long hair, you’ll want to use a larger comb attachment with your clippers. For grooming shorter-haired dogs or to get a precise cut, you’ll want to use a shorter comb. Keep in mind that if your dog has long hair, you may need to use scissors first to keep the clippers from getting stuck.
