Pet clippers, on the other hand, need to stay cool as they are used for much longer periods of time. Pet clippers tend to operate at a faster speed. They need to have more strokes per minute to get through thick fur without it jamming the blade. Some dog clippers will have multiple speeds.
Slower speeds are great for precision grooming in delicate areas like the face. Cheaper pet clipper varieties may not have varying speeds. Unlike human clippers, clippers for dogs come in two different types of blades that can make a big difference when grooming your dog, especially dogs with a double coat. Fine-tooth blades will have less space between each tooth than skip-tooth blades, but more space between teeth than human clippers.
All fine-tooth teeth are the same length, like human clipper blades, giving a smooth, finished look to the trim. Skip-tooth blades have gaps in between the teeth allowing for thick or matted fur to be fed into the blade.
This is crucial if your dog has a thick double coat. The long teeth also help prevent painful fur pulling. These can be used to do an initial quick pass-through to get rid of long fur, matting, and dirt before bathing and detailed grooming. If you are new to grooming, use caution when using skip tooth blades, as it is easy to injure your pet. When in doubt, use sheers to cut out matting or to trim sensitive areas.
Skip tooth blades will not be marked by any alphabetical initial and only come in numbers 3, 4, 5, and 7. Blade numbering for pet clippers is different from the numbering system for human clippers.
While they may have the same blade number, be aware that the cut length is different. Grooming combs or guards fit over the clipper blade, allowing the groomer to adjust for their desired length. Typically, human combs cut shorter lengths of 1 inch or less. Both of these kinds of clippers are specially made to match a certain type of hair among other things such as how they are sharpened, maintained and how much noise they make. A human clipper is unlikely to struggle to cut the hair off no matter how thick it is.
Dog fur is different in so many ways such as thickness, length and the fact that many dogs have double coats. Not only that, but most dog clippers also have different attachments to cater for the wide range of coats dogs can have — one size does not fit all with dogs as it can with humans.
There will be a larger gap between the blades to accommodate thicker hair coming between them. With this in mind, it's not advisable to use human nail clippers on your dog as dog nail clippers are specifically designed to cut through safely and efficiently.
Many dog nail clippers feature safety mechanisms such as a guard or stop mechanism which looks to prevent your dog's nail from bleeding. One exception is puppies: you can use human nail clippers on young puppies' nails if you feel confident, but it won't be long until they're too thick to cut without the right tool for the job. It's always best to seek out a good quality pair of dog nail clippers that will last the extra mile and perform a quick and painless task every time, saving both money and risk down the line.
For dog nail clippers, you'll want to think of size, style, longevity, comfort and you may also consider whether dog nail clippers or grinders are better for you and your pet. Sometimes it's worth spending a little extra for a high-quality clipper as inexpensive dog nail clippers are prone to becoming dull quicker, saving you money in the long run.
She lives with her miniature dachshund, Lola, a rescue dog who is very much the boss. This means that dog hair can easily jam human clipper blades, resulting in having to spend extra money in the end to replace them. Thick coated breeds of dogs will particularly be likely to break a pair of human clippers.
Dog clippers have wider teeth that will not stall when they move through a thick patch of fur. In addition, dog clippers are sharper, more powerful and may have several blades with various sizes to cut fur efficiently. The difference between human clippers and dog clippers are due to the fact that we have different varieties of hair. Dogs also have multiple types of hair on their body. They often have a layer of thick fur close to the skin that insulates them from the cold, outer fur that is more course, and long thick whiskers.
Both human and dog hair are made out of keratin, but the fur of animals tend to have a coating around the hair follicle that protects them from heat, cold, and rain. Human hair does not have the ability to regulate temperature the way that fur does.
