I've been wanting to buy some clippers and try grooming one of my Yorkies myself. I had already been doing scissor trimming for their long coats and had one dog cut into a sort of Westie cut recently by a groomer, so I thought maybe I could maintain it myself.

Well, the clippers at Petco started at $60 and up. Was gonna look around some more. Well, I took my Mom to TJ Maxx and saw that they had clippers for human haircuts for $20. They looked basically the same and it had the long combs that I wanted. Yorkie coats are more like human hair anyway I thought. Well it worked great, at least for novice like myself.

Has anyone else tried human clippers? Is there any real difference? I noticed a Wahl clipper (human one) at Big Lots today for $10! That would have been a better deal than the $20 Conair I bought.
