Best Dog Groomer Chicago (Jan 2023 Update)

I rarely, if ever, write a negative review–but I often check the lowest reviews on something I'm not sure about. So for those of you who want to know the worst possible aspect of a potential purchase, be forewarned: I've body clipped my horse for years running, I've always used Oster blades on Andis clippers. I figured this year, I'd go for the Andis blades, since the T-84 offers a decent width and hair length. I bought two of these blades because I like to switch them out when they get warm, rather than spraying and waiting to cool every time. I was working on a pristinely clean horse with fine TB hair. Not much of a winter coat. The blades were okay for his neck and shoulder… but they absolutely choked on his legs. From there–it just got worse. About 1/3 of the way through, as another reviewer said, the first blade was shot; just leaving horrible haggard lines in his coat. I switched to the second T-84 blade, because I had left my blades from last year at home (blades that were still sharp enough to clip with, just not brand new, so I didn't take the chance). Well. The second blade finished the clip… sort of. By the end of the job I was using muscle power to get the blade to perform an action that even moderately resembled cutting. His coat looked like he'd been sheared with a butter knife. Every year I've clipped him he glistens and gleams a lovely dark bay, so shiny that people have to ask if I even clipped him. This year he looks horrific. His coat is dull, uneven, there are track marks, and I had to switch back to a two year old #10 Oster blade that I used for day to day cleanup and use often to finish his legs because it was STILL sharper than the Andis blades. I feel bad for my horse, but in a month or so, he will start growing in his new coat, and this will all be in the past as a lesson learned. Never again.aallegre

This #2 blade works perfectly with the OSTER 76076-010 CLASSIC 76 hair clipper. It takes 2 seconds to insert and2 seconds only to remove and pack away. The functionality is PERFECT for the Burr cut aka #2 cut.There's NO NEED for the Oster 10 PC Guide Comb Set, either, if the Burr cut aka #2 cut. is what you want as it does NOT require any comb. However, you may want the Comb Set for the oil, lube accessories down the road.Pork Chop

One of the best blades I have ever used. My dog is poodle/chihuahua mix. Mostly poodle hair. This blade cut right thru some of the tough areas. My dog never flinched or moved. Was very cooperative. Will purchase again.Valued C.

"John Paul Pet" is a pet-specific branch of Paul Mitchell, whose products you've probably encountered in your local hair salon. So it's not too surprising that John Paul Pet shampoos, such as this oatmeal shampoo for dogs and cats, would be of a similar quality to Paul Mitchell products intended for human hair. The J.P. Pet Oatmeal Shampoo has a pleasant almond scent, not medicine/chemical-smelly at all. It was non-irritating to both my Jack Russell Terrier's paws and my own hands when applying it. It left one's coat quite clean, and even with a bit more body and bounce. I would not hesitate to use this oatmeal shampoo again on my dog. Since the product labeling states "tested on humans First", one could even use it on human hair in a pinch! Highly recommended.MccfamschoolMom

The John Paul Pet Oatmeal Shampoo for Dogs and Cats is a great product. I am very happy with the results that it gave for my Shitzhu. The shampoo comes in 16 OZ. This product has such a good smell. It was the very first thing that I had noticed. As soon as you open it, it has a very good scent. It smells very good and fresh. I almost wanted to use it on my hair. On the bottle it states that this shampoo was tested on humans before it was tested on any animals. The shampoo is a Sensitive Skin Formula for both dogs and cats. The shampoo is also very thick, rich and it has a great lather. Most shampoo's are very watery. I really like that this one is thick and the smell lasts on my doggie. I gave him a bath 3-days ago and he still smells like the shampoo. This is the longest that he has ever gone smelling fresh with a shampoo used at home. The John Paul Oatmeal shampoo for dogs and cats is the co-founder of Paul Mitchell. A few other great perks about the shampoo are, they are cruelty free, eco friendly, made in the USA, no animal ingredients, no paragons, phthalate free, botanically derived and recycled plastic. This is the shampoo that I love using for my dog. Especially that my Shitzhu has allergies and sensitive skin. The shampoo made him feel soft, happy and smelling fresh. I highly recommend it to all cats and dogs.Claire77

I recently was looking for a good shampoo for my dog and settled on the John Paul Pet Oatmeal Shampoo. This shampoo is for both dogs and cats. It is a 16 ounce bottle, the scent I got was the [oatmeal. I really like these shampoos are tested on humans first! Not on our cute furry friends! This shampoo has a nice subtle smell which fades nicely after a few days and keeps your furry friend soft and clean. I found that it definitely keeps their coat soft and doesn't dry out their skin. If your dog is suffering from chronic skin allergies or infections this will not cure that! It is only good for soft fur and good smelling, clean pets! Take your pet to your vet regularly for skincare maintenance. This shampoo is pretty good so far and I would definitely recommend it to others!Athena

i bought this shampoo based on the positive reviews for itchy skin issues. my min pin that has allergies,badly, on cytopoint,special diet,limited treats,flea control and limited exposure to outdoors due environmental allergies. i tried the shampoo,smell isnt over bearing, pleasent better than doggie b.o, hair soft and shiney and skin soft pliable, doesnt feel like his skin will tear or chaffing. however,two days after his bath he has dandruff on his back.so my question is for those that left positive reviews did you use the conditioner,as well as the shampoo? i only used the shampoo ,lathered,and rinsed and dried him off best i could. it seems to accomplish cleaning not remoisturize his skin, he has very dry flaky skin on back and hairloss. anyone else experience this and if so did the conditioner to the trick or move on to another formula or brand that worked better for them. i have tried quite a number of other and got tired cluttering under my sink and gave to shelter.holliaj48

This shampoo smells really good and it definitely brightens up my little guy! There's is a noticeable difference after i bath him in this. After lathering, you have to leave it on for about 5 minutes, as with all purple shampoos. I make sure to put a heavy amount on his paws and bum. These are areas that's tend to strain over time. In between baths, i clean his paws with this as well, leaving it on for 5 minutes then thoroughly rinsing. After he's all dried, he doesn't seem irritated so i believe it is NOT drying out his skin like some brightening shampoos are known for.natalie .g

I bought this originally for my nieces new and tiny miniature Dockson puppy and we ended up using it on her other mini Dockson and our poodle. It’s almost impossible to bath your dog or puppy with out them licking the water or the soap on themselves. This soap they can get distracted in licking it and it is gentle enough that it won’t hurt them a bit. *not that I’m suggesting to reward bad habits but if you bath your pets at home then you known the struggle is real!* We still use this even though they aren’t puppies anymore. The other big thing I love about this is I can wash above the neck! I am careful to protect their eyes but it’s so nice to have a shampoo that doesn’t say wash from neck down, leaving your dog still dirty. It does wonders for both the wiener dogs coats-one is short haired, one is long haired. Leaving everyone silky smooth and smelling amazing for days!alicia.m

This brush has changed my life! My cat has very long fur, and he has had issues with GI blockages due to large hairballs in the past (one time causing me to pay 10K for emergency surgery…..). Brushing has always been an issue because he does not tolerate being brushed. The Kong Cat Zoom Groom brush, however, he LOVES! I have been able to brush him and brush him without him getting mad or running away. It has definitely cut down on the amount of loose hair in my apartment. It is flexible and soft, the silicone bristles are "sticky" meaning they collect the fur easily.Stevie C

10/10 from us! Zoom groom is the only cat brush i use on my short haired tabby, and medium haired tabby. It works just as well on medium hair as it does short hair. Its so effective at getting cat hairs out that i have handfulls each time i brush them…my cat also grooms himself at the same time as i brush him(assuming it mimicks the parent cat feel!) The price is reasonable as they last a long time (just dont leave them outside as the plastic on my last one perished).meru.m

This works very well on our mature Siamese-looking cat who has very fine, soft fur. It’s easy to wash the fur out of the brush and a little dampness helps grab the fine, loose hairs. In winter the water helps prevent static buildup. She really likes the feel of it better than a brush with bristles. It is lessening her fur ball issues.Marielle1011

Love the scent, makes the kitties smell amazing! My cats are 1 and 2 in age. The packaging size is perfect for long term use. Plus it’s Arm and Hammer so you know it’s high quality. Highly recommend! Just be gentle with your cat’s baths and not too frequent 🙂iHerb Customer

Nothing beats Jax n Daisy especially with my dogs allergies but I have used this particular dog shampoo in the past and occasionally still use. It it really good and really does deodorize your furry companion. This is my 2nd choice in highly recommended dog shampoo! Doesnt seem to bother my dogs or irritate them plus leaves them smelling snuggle ready fresh and with a great looking coat! #furryfriends #dogmom #doggies #furbabiesdiana.b

My 3 dogs got sprayed by a skunk. I used DeSkunk shampoo but it did not lather very much. I followed up with this shampoo that has a nice lather and scent. Just one wash using both shampoos and the skunk smell is gone. This works well.Terri

So these blades are excellent and I’m definitely only running these on my Andis from now on. Had already clipped my own horse using a pair, and hadn’t had a chance to sharpen my other blades, when I got a call to fix a clip on a mini that had burnt out her owners clippers! I snapped these on and they went through her super thick winter coat with ease, and could still probably keep going if I hadn’t finished so fast. So worth it, and sharp enough that you’ll get the job done faster, smoother and cleaner than even with the wide T-84’s. They proved their worth and then some! Definitely recommend, my blade case will be full of these for all my regulars next season. 🙂MLB2372

I was looking for a 1.8 blade, but I found that this 1.5 worked really well. The ceramic blades have been a real game changer for me. They seem to stay sharper for a bit longer, which means a better clip. When clipping other people's horses, unfortunately they aren't always super clean! Ceramic can break if they are dropped a lot, but personally I haven't had this problem. Blades are expensive these days, and these seem like a midrange price similar to my local tack shops.Charlotte

Works well when grooming my miniature schnauzer. Stays relatively cool in use. Life-wise I am unsure. The original cutter lost two of the adjacent metal teeth after around 48 hrs of use. So maybe not so good after all.leon G

A delightful gal who works with "Just Food for Dogs" (MARY!) helped me find this great shampoo for our new puppy! She couldn't have been more kind!…and this isn't even the area in which she works!…but she took me right TO it! … What a honey! … We love the shampoo! It smells HEAVENLY! … and, once "Hope" gets accustomed to baths, I'm sure she'll love it, too!! … (When the water reached her from the faucet, she immediately started "swimming" with her little front feet!) … I'll buy this again! It did a great job!…she's all fluffy again!…and does she ever smell GREAT!! Love PetCo! … and all its people! …Montanalass

As a first time buyer of this product I would say it was just average maybe a little below. I walked in and asked For a puppy shampoo that all smell great the employee pointed us thre for a puppy shampoo that’ll smell great the employee pointed out epree. Trusting his word I bought the product when I used it at home I didn’t really get the smell I was expecting . Will probably only buy again for desperate needs but never as a first choice .Rockydoopz0

I used to buy the Millers Forge but I have been having issues getting stock of it. This is as good as the Millers Forge. In fact I think the blades stay sharper for longer. I am a dog groomer and go through nail clippers very quickly. Dog nail clippers must be sharp so that they don't crush the nail and hurt the dogs. These nail trimmers cut through nails like a knife through butter. Highly recommend. Iherb, please always stock these!iHerb Customer

perfect size for my new cat. she is under 5kg (age:6 months old baby) it is labeled for small dogs. but cat can also used. great quality. I highly recommend this. the comfort grip is gentle to use. the trimmer is sharp, yet safe.iHerb Customer

This is a great quality product and works as intended. Thank you so much for this. It was made of high quality ingredients with great benefits. Plus the packaging and sizes were perfect. Works well. I look forward to purchasing another one! Highly recommend to use on your pet, gentle enough for high frequency use.iHerb Customer

Oster oatmeal essentials shed control shampoo smells like a coconut paradise for dogs! I love the way the shampoo lathers easily and abundantly. It makes bathing much quicker to have more suds. Especially with wiggly dogs! The coconut verbena scent is awesome while using it. The scent doesn’t linger on our dogs long after their baths are complete. But it smells good during the bath itself! I do feel like the shampoo does a better cleaning job on our dogs compared to other brands we have used in the past. Overall, we are very happy with the shampoo!Jessica F

I love this product for my dogs I have two dogs. It’s a very affordable product and you can find it at Walmart I think you cost between 4 to 7 dollars. It has oatmeal in it and it’s really good for them because they always have a lot of itching in their skin and it smells great it smells like a powder like baby powder so I highly recommend this product for the pet parents out there.isabella.c

The product itself is excellent, my grandfurbaby is silky smooth after her bath. Unfortunately, we were under a time limit when bathing her so she was unable to get the full grooming experience. As for the packaging, not so great. it was put in a box that was 4 times the size and the bubble air didn't fill around the entire bottle, the bottle was put in the bottom of the box the air packets put on top. The lid broke and some of the shampoo spilled out into the box. I've tried several times to upload a picture but to no avail either mb too large or difficulty uploading.Amanda

During the pandemic, my dogs had been booked at the groomers for a bath and nail clip, but with all the lock down measures, I was rescheduled 3 times. After a few months I finally decided that I couldn\'t wait for the groomers and had to cut their nails myself. I dug out a guillotine-style set of clippers and started on my 11 year old English Setter. After only cutting a few nails, the third one split in half. He flinched and pulled his paw away. I felt so bad and called it a night. Then I did a bit of research and found out that the guillotine-style clippers are terrible for larger dogs because they often crush (and not cut) the nails. It turns out the best kind of dog nail clippers is this scissor style. I then called my vet and asked them what kind they use, and they use Millers Forge clippers. I immediately looked them up and went out that same day and bought this pair. I love that these are heavy duty stainless steel, made in Italy, and recommended by veterinarians (literally). I highly recommend these (and have to all my family and friends).D

This is the first pair of quality nail clippers that I've owned. There are a few reviews on here saying that it's made of plastic? The entire item is made from a durable metal material and it has rubber grips on the handle bars. Additionally, the description said that it is meant for large dogs, but I've used it on my 80lb bully breed and my 10lb chihuahua and it worked wonders for both. This is definitely the best bang for your buck. If you're looking to replace your old pair of nail clippers, or even shopping for your first pair give these a try. So far I haven't had any issues and imagine that these will last a very long time.Ronald B

I\'m first-time user and our dog has very thick black nails. I thought that I would need to apply lots of pressure to make a cut and was pleasantly surprised how effortless nail clipping process was with these clippers. Because they\'re scissor – like style, you can cut a few millimeters at a time. Great quality product. Highly recommend!Sadie the Airedale

Wahl No-Rinse shampoo and Dog Deodorant spray is by far my absolute favorite! Their environmentally friendly waterless shampoo is formulated with all natural plant-derived ingredients and is perfect for owners who like to treat their dogs the natural way. We have an elderly dog that was tossed out of a van window on the highway in front of our house 😭 that we rescued and we learned the hard way that he has stress-induced seizures, seizures any time he bumps his head on anything, and even worse-seizures from certain food, shampoos, conditioners, loud noises cleaning supplies/detergents. We struggled through a miserable process of elimination before settling on Wahl's and I will forever be grateful! This calming formula is fragranced with natural lavender and chamomile; scents that truly calm and relax even the most hyper of pups, and more importantly- our little Bear. 🐶 It has a pleasant aroma- The first scent we tried was Coconut Lime Verbana and it smells amazing, too! The foam formula is easy to use – just apply, rub in and towel dry. It's100% natural – no chemical additives, no preservatives. As well as cleaning the hair of any dirt and debris, it also conditions the coat, detangles and moisturizes. It contains oatmeal to soothe and replenish dry skin. Made in the USA and is EXTREMELY affordable! Amazon has it for less than $3! 😍krista.p

I got this because I was in a pinch. My Springerdoodle couldn’t get into the groomers rescheduled a number of times from both ends and she smelled BAD. Her thick kinky hair holds in dirt and the smell. Bathing her ourselves she doesn’t dry fast enough and ends up getting the wet dog smell. So I tired this and it’s AMAZING! I will be using this in between groomer sessions forever on now and maybe try it with our German Shepherd. It’s be a little over 24hrs and she still smells great. Also, i feel like this isn’t just for smell. This also cleans the hair and got dirt out of her hair. I had to use probably more than recommended but it got her clean. For $6 I would have used the whole bottle each time but that’s not needed. I get about 4 cleanings out of a bottle.AZW

We love this waterless shampoo for a refresher in between baths or after a dusty day of daycare playing. We previously used the Chi refresher spray, but it seemed more like a perfume than a “soap”. This foam rubs in very easily, smells pleasant, and helps my dogs fur actually feel cleaner. He also likes the rub down while getting the foam into his coat, so it’s a win-win!Kwolfe

My dog had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics he was on after having a few teeth pulled. The itch was driving him crazy. This ointment seemed to take the itch away right after I put it on and he was able to relax. The only hard part was remembering to put it on every few hours. But I’m very pleased with how much this helped, and at a good price.MStephens

I Picked this 3 way ointment up for my Dog, just with in Hours. You can SEE a Difference. Helps Heal JUST With in FIRST use it Started Healing My Dog !! Can't Say it may help for ALL Dog's. BUT, I would SAY give it a TRY !!! You MAY NOT Be disappointed. I KNOW I'm NOT. I WILL STAY Using/Buying this product!!! I CAN'T Believe HOW GREAT This Stuff works !!! Hope Every one HAVE The SAME GREAT Results as I did/DO !!! Good LUCK to WHO Ever, uses THIS Product. !!!Buster4455

BEST shampoo ever! I have used it on my German Shepherd since he was a baby. It makes his fur very soft and glossy, and amazingly itch-free! it smells nice, too, and is gentle enough to bathe every week, if needed. The only shampoo I will ever use on my sensitive-skinned Shepherd dog.Maya

FYI, this product has been bought out by another manufacturer and is now awful! Typically I could get 6, maybe 7 baths out of one bottle. Now, because it takes FOREVER to lather, I used close to an entire bottle on 1 bath. It used to be so concentrated, and now it is like water. So, buyer beware!Tish

Product initially worked well. Combination of tone, vibration, and shock works well for training. My golden retriever responded well. Unfortunately the second time I went to charge the collar, the connection between the collar and the charger would not make contact. I chatted with cabelas and asked if they could send me a new charger dongle and they said I wanted that option I would need to work directly with Garmin. They gave me the option to return by mail, but I didn't want to be without the collar for that long. Instead I drove to the store to exchange it but they did not have the model available in the store. I returned it at the store and ordered a replacement on line. Once the replacement arrives, I am hoping I just got a lemon.Renegade08

I bought this collar about a year ago, and it is still just as effective and powerful today. This has all of the capabilities I need for training and enjoying my time with my dog. With the multi-collar functionality, it’s also great for people who own multiple dogs as you would just need a new collar and program it to a different color code switch. My dog can go swimming, get dirty, muddy, get hosed off, and the collar still works like a charm. I am extremely impressed. The handheld remote also floats (I fell into the lake once with it, and it floated just fine) For anyone looking for a durable and functional collar that will last forever, this is it.Skeet999

We bought this a couple months ago! Best investment we ever made! Our dog doesn't like the neighbours dog and would bark like crazy every time he was out in the yard. put the ecollar on him and only had to use the shock button a couple times and it stopped the bad behaviour in its tracks! Love it! The only thing I noticed was the collar became unpaired from the remote after we took him to the lake to swim. But it was very easy to pair up again, just by reading the instructions in the manual. Very happy with this purchase.jackflash72

My dog is a rescue. When I rescued her there was no touching her paws. Now with lots of work I'm able to file her nails. Thank you for making a product that isn't overwhelming loud ( helps her remain calm and comfortable) This product includes batteries! What a plus! This does a great job I would recommend this productShyster10

I love this nail grinder. It took some effort to get my dog to cooperate including patience, praise, and a lot of treats. He is still terrified but goes along with the procedure. Taking small steps – his nails were very long – I managed to painlessly file the nails to nearly ideal length. I immediately noticed a difference in his posture, and he no longer gets sore or cuts the bottom of his feet when I exercise him. Long nails used to make him walkTom321

I personally was thrilled to get this pet mail trimmer, for several reasons. My large dog needed hers done badly and I was always terrified to trim them myself because God forbid I cut them too deep, I would feel awful and so would she for separate reasons, lol!! I would’ve taken her to the vet but she hates going there since she got spayed. When I found out about this mail grinder it was like it was meant for me…or, at least people like me. Now, I can trim her nails any time I was and I don’t feel anxious at all. The only problem is that she does have thicker nails and the grinder takes a while to get her nails down t where I want them, and obviously that takes time. She doesn’t like to sit still that long so I find that she tries to get away right in the middle of her mani, lol. It would just be better if the mechanism drilled her nails down fast, so I didn’t have to spend my one day off worrying about her nails.Cggermaine8

At first reading the instructions you might get overwhelmed but it's not as bad as it seems at first with the install. The only thing I wish is there was a way to make it have a wireless signal to the main box so you don't need to run wires into the house. Part of my install is on the fence and some in ground both were fairly straight forward. We have been working with our dog per the instructions. While I feel we could probably teach our dog where to stay out of with just the training guide in the book but the added collar helps reinforce the boundaries. So far she is responding well although she is a border collie and they tend to learn fast but I don't think it would be hard to work with any dog with the right patience and practice. Don't buy this if you expect it to work out of the box you still need to train your dog the system is more of a reminder than it is a set it and forget it.Jono21

The PetSafe In Ground fence worked great in our yard! We aren't allowed to have traditional fences in our subdivision but wanted to be able to keep our goldendoodle safe and in our yard. This system was a bit of a project to install in comparison to hiring a company or something, but the directions well clear and concise and it wasn't difficult to install. We borrowed My dog was very receptive to the training with the boundary flags and picked up on the boundaries very quickly and easily!! Petsafe had some helpful videos on their website which helped guide us how to begin training as well. The system seems really reliable, and I love that I can know that she is safe and gets to run and exercise without having to worry constantly. The collar is lightweight and comfortable for my dog and easy to adjust. I highly recommend this pet containment system to keep your loved fur babies safe!!wogsll34

The in-ground fence was extremely easy to install and had step-by-step directions on how to do so. I had thought it would be difficult to install, as I am not an overly technical person, but was surprised to learn that even the least technical-savvy person could install. I love that my dog no longer needs to wear a leash outside and he's able to roam freely. I feel this provides him with a sense of independence, although he still prefers to be by my side. On my end though, it provides me a sense of relief that even if I look away momentarily, he won't be able to roam outside of the flags. As far as your dog goes, I would recommend walking him or her around the area to ensure they are aware of where is permitted and not permitted to go. Once your dog learns this, they will be on their way to what they feel is freedom.Amber24

I use this trimmer to trim and edge my beard as well as shave my head (no guide). It has plenty of power and the cut is very even and smooth with no pulling. I appreciate the useful included accessories, which work well (my favorites are the longer brush and scissors). Pros – Includes a variety of guards (8 long from 1/8” – 1” and 4 short from 1/16” – 1/4”), carrying case, 2 combs, 2 brushes, scissors, and blade oil. – Uses other standard Wahl attachments (this was great for me, because I was able to use the detailer attachment from my old battery powered Wahl groomer that has started to slow down after 5 years). – Long cord. I didn’t want another battery powered trimmer, because that always seemed to be what eventually killed my old ones. I was worried the cord would be in the way, but the cord is longer than I need and I can comfortably use it with no issue (I have an outlet 2ft from my sink and the cord is around 6ft long). – Blades cut well and the long guards produced an even cut with just a few passes. – It is a good size and weight, with a curved to the back that fits your hand well. The case is hard plastic, so it is easy to clean, but it has just enough texture so that it is not slippery if you keep it clean. – On/Off switch has a solid click and is easy to operate. Attachments click in and fit tightly. Things to Consider – The included case holds the trimmer well, but due to the length of the cord it will not accommodate all the included pieces. There is plenty of room for a few of your favorite guards and a brush, which works great for me. – The steel blades need oil occasionally (included) and you need to make sure they are dry after use to prevent rust. Brushing them off is all the cleaning that is needed, but you might notice there are still a few hairs that slipped down between the blades and the trimmer body – I just remove it and gently tap it, but you will not get them all and you don’t want to remove the grease that lubricates the head that powers the blades. – I will be ordering a few more short guards since the included set only goes up to 1/4”. I normally keep my beard and mustache 3/8” – 1/2”, but the long guard is hard to use on my mustache (my nose gets in the way). – The included ‘T’ shaped blade is a little big for trimming some curved edges and I prefer the detail attachment for this – I already had one from an older Wahl, but I recommend getting one. I am also considering ordering the nose trimmer attachment (I wish these two items were included, but this is already a great value so buying them separately is no big deal).MGoose

I’ve been using Wahl clippers and trimmers on and off for over 40 years and like the Edge Pro, all have been well built. I can't tell you the number of clippers and trimmers I've purchased trying to get the closest cut, until now. The motor in the Edge Pro is more powerful than in my battery or rechargeable products due to it being corded. This motor moves one of the sharpest closest blades I've seen. Speaking of cord, Wahl has given you plenty of it, measuring in at just under 9 feet long. For those used to going to the barbershop (oh those were the days) you may remember a small white clipper called the peanut, also by wahl. This was the first thing I thought of when I got the Edge Pro’s. Although not quite as small as the peanut, the Edge Pro’s are not what I would consider a full-size clipper. The weight gives them a nice balance and feel, not making your hand and arm tired while cutting. While you can use the Edge Pro’s as a beard and moustache trimmer, and it works perfectly in that regard, it feels the trimmer was designed more as a hair clipper and edger/designer. I shaved each side of my head with two different clippers and my wife picked out the Edge Pro’s side as the closest shave. It's not as smooth as a blade or foil shaver and left me with a faint amount of stubble, not quite a 5:00 shadow but perfect for those who might suffer from razor burn. The sharpness of the blades allow them to cut through the thickest hair like a hot knife through butter. The Edge Pro comes with 12 different length blade combs, two cleaning brushes, barber shears, a hair comb, a smaller beard comb, a vial of blade oil and a satchel to carry it all. I love the larger cleaning brush and beard comb. Not so much for the rest of the items. To start with, the satchel to hold everything is just a little too small so you have to cram everything in it. The long hard comb just barely fits. Like most wahl products, the combs are sharp and scratchy to the scalp when used. At the end of the day, the Wahl Edge Pro clippers are definitely worth their price. They have the closest clipper cut I’ve ever had. I gave four stars for the poorly designed carry pouch and cheap feeling blade combs. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.RonH

Wahl has become a must have accessory in my home for keeping up with haircuts and styling. I have had other brands, and I'm happy with the product Wahl puts out for quality and durability. This particular set is pretty nice as I trust the corded clippers the most for reliability and ensuring a steady amount of power to cut hair. This is a nice looking set of clippers and fits well in the hand without being overly bulky. The blades are stainless steel and I expect them to stay in good shape for years to come. You get yourself 12 blade guards here, a case, scissors, and beard brush. All the essentials you need to maintain your look or give haircuts to others. The clippers work really well as I cut my hair at home and held up to the task well. Smoothly cuts the hair and the guards fit snug on the head of the clippers. When you need to do some outlining and edge work it gives you a precise cut and nice lines. It can be a bit aggressive on the cut when you cut without a guard and my neckline really got skin burned. It could be user error, but my previous clippers never irritated my skin this much when I cut without a guard on them. Overall a nice set of hair clippers with everything you need for ultra close cutting. PRO: Corded power Close cutting Compact design CON: Blade can irritate skin with close shavingJKinSYR

We have a Lab who loves to spin and roll down hills when she plays. Sometimes we can just wipe her down, and we do take her to a groomer, but sometimes she needs that at home bath(technically shower)! We found that we LOVE the smells and shine left by the Skout's Honor shampoos, but as winter was coming she was getting a little itchy after bath time. We added the conditioner. It's been great! she still smells wonderful from the shampoo, but her coat comes out extra glossy and soft, and it's helped stop her itching! I take her in the shower with me and after shampooing and rinsing I brush through the conditioner and let it sit on her coat for a min or two and then rinse it out. I think our pup appreciates the less itch, and the extra cuddles because you can't help petting the super soft coat!Christina W.

Our dog has severe skin allergies. He has itched all his (9 yr) life and until now we’ve been stumped. We treated the yard, we treated his beds, we treated him but no relief. Eventually we focused on his shampoo and (after not having success with products recommended by our vet) we began a very long search. Eventually we found Skout’s Honor probiotic shampoo + conditioner with avocado (fragrance free) it’s so mild he can get a shampoo every week and now he’sitch free. (We use Dr Bronner’s baby shampoo for his face) . Now he gets through most weeks with no itches at all. I have never given a recommendation like this before. I can’t say enough about Skout’s Honor, it’s the real deal..Cynthia T.

We recently switched our 8 month old puppy from raw to kibble in an effort to save money while inflation is running ramped and raw food was constantly jumping in price every time we went to purchase more along with everything else such as groceries sadly… We put him on what we thought was a high end kibble and within a few days of being fully transitioned to kibble he broke out in hives, couldn't stop itching, chewing at his paws, sores on his arms, losing fur, panting, the whole bit. We were devastated and our hearts were broken for what he was going through. We quickly switched him to a new kibble with even better ingredients and he started getting better, but there seemed to be this stench that was coming from him that we couldn't get rid of. We bathed him and still stunk. The smell was almost like a sour, pungent smell. I made a vet apt and couldn't get him in for several weeks, well I did some research and came across this and decided to try it to help. To our utter surprise after 1 bath he did not smell like wet dog as he usually does after a bath while drying, he smelt amazing and this morning when he was fully dry, the smell was finally gone!!!! I was skeptical that once he dried I would smell the stench but nothing! I couldn't believe it. I will be purchasing the gallon bottle as my puppy is a 65lb bernedoodle so lots of floof and we pretty much used half the small bottle on him. Great product and a very happy and satisfied customer. We got honeysuckle and we love it. We also purchased the honeysuckle deodorizer spray and are happy! Highly recommendAshley
