Grooming Equipment For Easier Grooming
from: Kyle BesserThe right equipment can be a real asset to properly groom your dog. All dog groomers should have the basic supplies such as brush, comb, and scissors. The right tools for the type of coat of the dog also aid grooming. Long coats require different grooming tools than smooth, wirey, and curly coats. The right equipment will make the job easier and smoother.
Cage Dryer: This type of dryer is designed to fit on cages so that the dog may be dried while inside the cage.
Floor dryer: This type of dryer is generally used for fluff drying. The long arm on this dryer can be used to direct the air on the coat while drying the hair.
Grooming post and loop: The ideal grooming post should be one that is portable and can easily be attached to any size table. The loop is placed around the dog's neck to ensure his safety.
Grooming tables: This standard size grooming table, (18 x 34 inches), is mostly used for grooming small dogs. The average size grooming table, (24 x 36 inches), can be used for grooming various breed sizes. These tables are 30 inches high with ribbed rubber matting. They are usually a folding type, easy to carry and move to a different location.
High-speed floor dryer: This dryer is the same as other floor dryers except that it has a high-speed motor attached for fluff drying long-coated breeds such as the Standard Poodle, Old English Sheepdog, and Afghan.
Hydraulic grooming table (23 x 36 inches) with tailgate in position 23 x 47 inches): This table works great for grooming dogs of all sizes and weights. It can be lowered to 29 inches and raised to 35 1/2 inches. This type of grooming table has an 11-inch tailgate that can be folded away when not in use and ribbed rubber mat on the top. It is especially useful when grooming very large or very heavy breeds. The adjustable height is also easier on the back.
Oster Blades: These blades are designed for both the A5 and the A2 model clippers. Each blade is numbered. The higher the number, the more hair it removes.
Oster small animal clipper The A2 Model is a very good clipper, but it has interchangeable heads which makes it a little harder to use due to the added inconvenience. The A5 Model is a one piece clipper with snap-on blades. This clipper is highly recommended because it is the easiest to use and operate.
Oster spray lube: This spray product is used to cool and lubricate the blades. Using the spray lube is necessary when clipping to prevent clipper burns.
