Hi all,
Sorry if I am posting this and going over old groundI am wanting to start grooming my own dogs - 2 Lhasas. I know which clippers I want - the oster A5 clippers and I know I need a 10 blade as I like to keep them relatively long and need this blade to put on the blade attachments. But as they get loads of stuff stuck to the hair on their tummy I was going to cut that shorter, I may also need a different blade for doing the paws. So what I am asking is if there is anyone who could suggest which blades I need?! Any help would be greatly appreciated - I have tried to look on the good old internet but most of the blades suggested are for if you want to cut them really short which I don't want to do.

Also as for a grooming table any good suppliers? I have searched a lot for tables and came across spendid pets and they seem to have a good selection at reasonable prices for the size I want - I don't want to get the smaller ones as find they don't have enough room when you have to lie them on their sides. Has anyone got any experience of this supplier?

Any help/suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated or any products that people have found to be good with Lhasas or breeds with similar hair.


Huge thanks in advance

Please

I dont have much experience in grooming but here goes....

I know Wahl are quite a prefessional groomng company, they have many sized blades and comes.

What about purchasing a small sized trimmer for around the paw area?

Pet Supplies from Pet-Supermarket

No ideas regarding a grooming table, however you can have a looksie to see if Wahl sell them: Wahl.co.uk

Thanks for that pawspup - good idea about a trimmer, never thougt of that! That would be a lot easier than using full sized clippers

dont use blades on paws! haha

Clippers, or trimmers

Very true indeed!

Our groomer used these, they seem to have all bases covered and out boy comes out looking good
