She hates being groomed -- baths are a losing battle and I can never comb or clip more than part of one side at a time since she
All my life my dogs have been short haired until the last one, Boo, who is sort of a Yeti, goat, and dog mix with 4 inch long hair. She hates being groomed -- baths are a losing battle and I can never comb or clip more than part of one side at a time since she refuses to budge and will happily nip/bite if I'm too insistent. I should use a muzzle but she acts as if it's the most excruciating torture device ever and has PETA on speed dial if I tried... so yes, I let my dog get away with murder.
After that fascinating back story I want to say I wish I'd bought these 2 years ago when I started clipping her myself. I have 2 pairs of Andis clippers that aren't cordless and cost much more and these clippers beat them without question. I purchased the Wahl thinking I could get some clipping in during our daily walks (when a lot of combing is done since she's standing in different positions and tolerates a brush here and there along the way) but am using them all the time. They cut right through hair the Andis clippers literally pass over or get stuck in. Maybe since they're cordless and allow a wider range of angles and easier motion they seem to clip better but the other issue is cost. I could have almost 3 pairs of these for the price of one of the Andis clippers.
If I need to buy another set of clippers I'll definitely buy these again.
