Investing in the best dog grooming clippers can make all the difference when it comes to trimming dog hair. I don’t know how many times I have heard pet owners bemoaning the fact that it is too difficult to clip certain dog breeds. 

In addition, they wonder how the professional groomer’s clippers seem to glide through the same coats with such ease.  Usually, upon further investigation, one finds that a cheaper supermarket clipper version is the culprit.

If you are hoping to clip your own dogs at home or if you are a professional dog groomer, then you can’t expect a sub-standard tool to do the job. You owe it to yourself and to your dogs, to start with good quality dog hair trimmers (affiliate link).

2 Speed Dog Clippers with Detachable Blades for Easy Cutting

There is no disputing the fact that 2 speed dog clippers are extremely popular when it comes to clipping dog hair. They offer both versatility and control. The ability to switch between two different speeds allows groomers to adjust the clipper’s power based on the thickness and texture of the dog’s coat.

Lower speed settings are suitable for sensitive areas or fine hair, while higher speed settings are more effective for tackling thicker or matted fur. This is ideal when it comes to clipping the coats of different dog breeds.

So, let’s look at the Oster 2 speed clipper, a clipper that has won over many a groomer as well as dog owners wishing to do their own clipping.

The Oster A5 Turbo 2-Speed Professional Animal Clipper is truly a heavy-duty clipper that does a professional job. It is a corded clipper and of course offers the choice of 2 speeds, low or high.
