What kind of clippers do i need to shave my standard poodle

I couldn't imagine keeping a pet standard in a show trim! That is a lot of work, especially with the length of hair required on the body to get that poodle clip done.

Pet Edge has a good variety of tools that you could purchase online. I have had a lot of positive experiences with them and they carry virtually everything you will need to groom your dog at home. You could even buy the table, scissors and high velocity hair dryers there!

Be cautioned though that being your first time doing your pup at home, the clip might not look the way you have been used to seeing him. I am my own worst critic when it comes to my work and you will probably wind up being that way too! Practice makes perfect though! And when you do clip him, if you are using a short blade (#4 or shorter) remember that skin can get caught in the blade and can cut the dog. Just remember to hold the skin taut in areas where it is loose to prevent it getting cut by the blade.

Oh and when you are picking up blades, you will want to get a #10 to clipper his face and feet short. This blade is also used for the sanitary clip of the perianal area and the groin.Be patient when working on his face but be firm! Don't let him squirm because that could mean that he could get nicked by the blade! In time you will get this down pat!

Good luck with your boy!
