Top 3 Pet Clippers For Persian Cat

Grooming – i believe is not an unfamiliar term to all. Human or cats alike, we cannot run away from this basic activity. This is especially true for Persian cats with long fur – regular maintenance is more crucial in this circumstances! In fact, Persian cats are the most demanding cats in terms of grooming requirements. They need to be brushed and combed daily, bathed once or twice a month, and have their nails clipped every ten days to two weeks. Sounds like a long list of chores, doesn’t it?

Of course! Outsourcing is one option many cat owners are practicing. However this could eventually result in a huge hole to your pocket given the steep grooming price. As such, it will be beneficial to learn how to groom your Persian cat at home. The first step you may like to take is to find out what you should look out for when selecting your ideal clipper to purchase.

Top 3 Hair Clippers For Persian Cat

Some of the factors you may like to consider when purchasing a hair trimmer:

1. The power / speed of the unit’s motor
2. Type of blades you’ll need for the length to which you want to trim your cat’s fur.
3. Durability of the blade
4. Heat control of clipper
5. Sound of clippers during operation

The best trimmer has a sturdy build that will stand up to wear and tear. Persian cats also tend to prefer clipper units that run as quietly as possible with good heat control. Many Persian cats are highly sensitive to the sound of a trimmer, and some will become completely livid at the loud hum and strong vibration of a grooming instrument.

Oster Professional Turbo A5 Heavy Duty Animal Grooming Clippers

The Oster A5 is a professional-grade model which offers two speed control with sufficient power to manage just about any type of fur coat quickly and easily. With a heavy-duty 2-speed universal motor that delivers 3,000 or 4,000 strokes per minute (SPM) and the usage of a wider blade sweep (#10 CryogenX blade), this clipper can glide through thick, coarse hair easily – including heavily matted hair.

This universal motor is designed to be quiet, providing a more pleasant grooming experience. The low speed provides precision with quieter performance perfect for clipping sensitive areas, while the high speed delivers maximum power for faster trims and full body shave downs. When trimming around your Persian cat’s face and ears, it is always recommended that you use a low speed to help it to remain calmer.

The A5 Turbo is equipped with a machined, cryogenically treated blade for enhanced durability and better performance. Blades that are cryogenically treated tend to be harder and more durable, which means you’ll get more use out of these clippers. In terms of monetary view, durable blades mean fewer replacements; thus saving you money in the long run!

The items included are the detachable #10 CryogenX blade, blade oil, clipper grease, cleaning brush, and replacement carbon brushes. The blade oil and grease keep the blade working in tip top shape, while the brush helps remove stray hairs and debris that may get caught in the teeth. Unfortunately, guide comb is not include in this package. Guide combs are great for beginners or when precision is needed. These combs ensure that the hair is trimmed to a precise length and add an extra layer of safety for your Persian cat’s skin.

Wahl Lithium Ion Pro Series Cordless Clippers

Another favourite clipper of mine is the Wahl Lithium Ion Pro Series Cordless clipper. One of the key selling points to this Wahl clipper is the fact that it is cordless. A cordless model is usually much easier to handle especially if your Persian cat don’t want to keep still. In fact, I find that my cat is a lot more cooperative when I used a cordless clipper. I supposed it’s due to the fact that there isn’t a cord which is constantly slapping on them; hence providing them a much enjoyable grooming session!

This clipper uses lithium-ion battery technology, a rechargeable battery that provides a decent battery life up to 2 hours and Wahl promise that it is capable of running at full speed until completely depleted. Despite been a cordless model, this clipper offers strong power of up to 6,000 SPM. A 15-minute quick-charge option is also available in case the battery runs out mid-session and it provides up to eight minutes of usage.

This kit includes a lithium-ion rotary clipper; an adjustable, high-performance blade (#30-#15-#10); a durable 9″ storage case; a grooming and styling DVD; stainless steel scissors; a pet styling comb; seven attachment guide combs; a cleaning brush; blade oil; a red blade guard and an English/Spanish instruction book.

However, the downside of this product is that this clipper do get hot especially with the guard removed. As such, it is recommended to use the clipper with the guard on. The guard covers up completely the hottest area so you can continue to shave your pet without fear of burning them.

Andis AGC2 UltraEdge Super 2-Speed Detachable Blade Clipper

Another recommended clipper is the Andis AGC2 UltraEdge.  This clipper comes with 2-speed options – 3,400 SPM and 4,400 SPM built on a rotary motor. Rotary motor clippers offer an even amount of power and blade speed. Such clippers are extremely versatile and offer superior cutting performance in a lightweight size.

Besides that, this clipper also features a detachable blade which means ease of cleaning and possibility to pair it with different types of blade! In fact, the clipper is compatible with all UltraEdge, CeramicEdge and ShowEdge blades. When purchased, it comes with a size 10 UltraEdge blade. What is so special about UltraEdge brades?  UltraEdge blades are long-lasting and dependable. These blades undergo a special hardening process to keep the blades sharper for a longer time and are finished in chrome to resist corrosion.

In additional, this clipper comes with a cool-running smart design that eliminates fans and vents that can become clogged with fur. It also features a locking switch to ensure that clipper will not accidentally shut off. I also love the materials of the chipper. It is made of break-resistant housing material thus providing exceptional durability.
