1 ~ I am a bit confused why people are buying clippers that are specifically for pets, what exactly is the difference (besides vibrations)? I have no idea.. lol.. no help I know- I just bought eveyrthing from petedge because it was all so cheap (relatively speaking)

2 ~ Why do you need a mini clipper (like the tid-bit or peanut) for doing potty areas? Wouldn't a normal one work the same? Oh my god- NO you NEED a mini clipper- There is NO way you would get between the pads of their feet with the big clipper- it is also great for Layla's behind- shaving the hair off of her ears and I don't think the large clipper would do well on her legs either

3 ~ Are Andis and Wahl the only good clipper brands or does it really matter as long as they are made for pets? What are the deciding factors? I bought an Andis- just did a bunch of reading online- i wanted a GOOD clipper beacuse I was only buying this once. So i suggest putting the money out and getting a good one. Also buy the oil and cleaner

4 ~ If regular clippers are more uneven than pet clippers when clipped, how does that happen?

5 ~ Is uneven clip correctable if for instance you had regular clippers already? If so, how?

6 ~ Why do you need rounded shears AND pointed shears? What is the significance of what the tip of the shears is (as in, do they have different cutting look or something)?No idea again- I only have pointed- work just fine!

7 ~ Is there anywhere I could find a cheaper grooming table with arm and lead besides the $35.99 one from petedge?

hope that helped!
