For best results, only use clippers on a freshly bathed, completely dried, and thoroughly brushed dog.In the video below, Andis Grooming Educator, Gabriel Feitosa dives deeper into the differences between clipper blades and attachment combs, including when and how to use each to flawlessly groom your dog at home: However, attachment combs aren’t suitable for use during sanitary trims or when clipping paws and paw pads.
With detachable blade clippers, you can add on attachment combs to reduce the risk of accidentally cutting your pup’s coat too short, minimize any chance of scratching or cutting your dog’s skin, dissipate heat generated by the clippers, and make it much easier to achieve a blended, smooth haircut. We almost always recommend using a detachable blade clipper for beginner home groomers, like the Andis Pulse ZR II Cordless Detachable Blade Clipper or the Andis Happy Hour 5-Speed Corded Detachable Blade Clipper. Stainless steel blades are more costly, but slide through the coat easier and require fewer passes to achieve a smooth finish. Plastic combs are affordable, durable, and easy to use, but may require multiple passes over the coat to achieve the desired cut. Attachment combs are available in plastic or stainless steel with either a clip-on design or a spring attachment to connect them to the clipper blade. The shortest, the 50 blade, is a very close surgical cut.Īlternatively, an adjustable blade clipper has a blade system that can be adjusted to different coat lengths using a sliding mechanism or lever, without the need to stop and change blades.Īttachment combs (also commonly known as snap-on combs or clipper guards) can only be used on detachable blade clippers, and only on size 10, 15, or 30 blades. Hint, the higher the blade number, the shorter the cut. A detachable blade clipper has a removable blade system that requires you to change blades depending on the length you want to keep your pet’s coat. There are two types of grooming clippers-detachable blade clippers and adjustable blade clippers. So, before you plug in the clippers and start a DIY dog ‘do, take a moment to learn the ins-and-outs of clipper-cutting your dog’s coat, including when to use attachment combs or clipper blades. However, “quarantine haircuts” haven’t been a good look for many of us, and that includes our dogs! Due to the life-changing events of the last year, more pet parents than ever are taking the time to bathe, brush, clip, and groom their furriest family members at home.
