When cutting a dogs hair with electric clippers should I wash her first?
You can bathe before or after. If you do bathe her first, make sure the coat is completely dry. Damp hair can clog the clipper and make it pull the coat instead of cutting it. Dirty coat will dull your balde faster, so that may be a concern. Also, be very careful to watch the blade to make sure it isn’t getting hot. A hot blade can burn your pup and make the whole grooming experience negative. If you haven’t groomed a dog before, you might want to get an expert to show you how. Its not rocket science, but there are ways to make it easier on the dog.
