Happy New Year...and a grooming question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kclovesken · 01-01-2016, 02:28 PM

So I'm looking into learning to groom my baby myself and was curious about clippers. Can you use clippers humans use on a dog? We have a very pricey high end set already so I was curious what the difference was.
Also does anyone know of a good guide of video showing how to do a sanitary trim on your puppy and basic grooming? Gizmo will need a trim very soon.
Thanks for.the info in advance and I hope everyone has a wonderful happy healthy 2016.

I use the same clippers on my husband as I do on my Yorkie. Just a basic Wahl set.

As for videos, I just watched a bunch of YouTube videos on dog grooming before I tried it or myself.

Awesome that's what I was curious about. That's what we have is a nice Wahl set. Good stuff. Ty for the info :0)
Does anyone know how to keep him still ha-ha. I read about the touching of toes etc. I wanna try to learn how to do this all so in time I can give him his first groom :0)

Difference Between Dog Clippers and Human Clippers | Difference Between | Dog Clippers vs Human Clippers

For Yorkies, since they have hair similar to ours' (no double coat), I guess it's ok to use human clippers. I think the blades are different too.
