Animal Clippers

Clippers for Grooming Dogs, Cats, Cows and Horses

Professional trimmers are essential fur grooming tools and exist in a wide range of specifications for grooming different animals and pets. In order to achieve the best possible results, you should always choose the appropriate clipper for a specific species, e.g., dog grooming clippers for dogs, horse clippers for horses. The trimmers not only differ in terms of weight and dimensions, but also in terms of power (watt), number of clipper strokes, the clipper blades and the clipper heads, and whether or not they are cordless clippers. These elements are relevant, because the clippers for small animals, large animals and farm animals work differently and must be handled accordingly.

The fur of dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets, for example, is clipped in the direction of hair growth, while the fur of horse and cattle is clipped in the opposite direction. Additionally, the coat of horses has a different structure than the coat of dogs and the area to be clipped is obviously much bigger in large animals than in small animals. Therefore, a horse clipper should have relatively large blades and shearing knives. In our online shop, you will find an extensive selection of high-quality pet clippers, dog grooming clippers and horse clippers with different cutting speeds, cutting lengths, blades, as well as different accessories, e.g., combs and brushes.

Dog Clippers for Groomers and Veterinary Professionals

Dog clippers are trimmers used for dog grooming. Depending on the coat structure, the dog's size and the fur length, there are different types of dog clippers that can be used by professional dog groomers, vets and dog owners for grooming purposes.

Modern dog grooming clippers are equipped with replaceable clipper blades so that professional pet groomers do not require different dog grooming clippers for every breed. These dog clippers allow the groomer to use the same clipper with different blades and heads. For mobile use, you may purchase cordless clippers with rechargeable battery, while stationary instruments are powered via a cable. One of the many advantages of rechargeable pet clippers like the Aesculap Exacta or the Aesculap BaseCut dog clippers is their light weight and quiet operation. They allow for fatigue-free work with dogs of various sizes and breeds. 

Horse Clippers for Professional Use

Horse clippers are ideal for shearing horses that work on a daily basis, i.e., sport horses,  and sweat profusely even in colder temperatures, due to their thick winter coat. To prevent diseases caused by excessive sweating and slow drying of the fur, the horses are partly or completely sheared. Horse clippers are equipped with a high-performance DC motor that provides fast and thorough clipping, and specially designed blades for fatigue-free work.

As flight animals, horses are particularly sensitive to loud noises. As a result, you should choose a low noise trimmer such as the cordless Aesculap Bonum horse clippers with rechargeable battery for particularly quiet operation.

Clippers for Veterinary Use

In veterinary medicine, trimmers are used to clean injection sites and operating fields. They increase the visibility of veins, arteries and other body parts and lower the risk of infection caused by germs in the fur. It is also recommended to remove the coat around skin injuries and deeper wounds, to facilitate wound cleaning and disinfection. If the fur is wet or sticks together, it should be washed and dried before clipping in order to prevent the blades from becoming blunt or contaminated.

Clipper Maintenance

In order to guarantee the longest possible service life of the trimmer, it is important to ensure correct maintenance. It is imperative to use clipper oil for regular oiling of your dog clippers or horse clippers. They shoud be oiled each time the trimmer is used in order to keep the clipper blades supple, avoid excessive friction and prevent the blades from becoming blunt. Only suitable lubricant should be used to oil these clippers.

Excess hair can be removed from the machine or shaving head with a brush. In the case of a device with a rechargeable battery, hair could also interfere with the power supply. In this case, the fur can also be removed from the dog clippers and horse clippers with the help of a brush.

In the animal clippers category you will find clippers for dog grooming, for cats, horses and other animals as well as suitable maintenance equipment, such as clipper cleaner.
