Electric Dog Razors
Electric Dog Clippers
Dog clippers are great to have on hand whether for grooming or for emergencies. They tend to range from $100 to $200 for a decent pair. You may even consider just purchasing a pair of small men's clippers to have in case of small emergencies, but if you have a dog that you regularly shave or trim, you'll want to invest in a good pair of dog clippers.
If you plan on using electric razors to groom your dog, you need to make sure that you start working with the dog early on, otherwise, you may end up terrifying the dog later in life when you try to shave him with the razor.
There are a few quieter dog razors, but for the most part the majority of them have a decently loud buzz about them, which can start a dog that hasn't been properly socialized with electric razors.
Although, using a dog razor is relatively simple, if you have any problems you can usually ask a professional dog groomer for tips and help.
