Which Mini Trimmer is Right for You?

Are you in the market for a trimmer to easily clean paw pads, sanitary areas, and final touch-ups? Wahl Animal is here to help you decide which mini trimmer is right for you! 

Before starting your search for a new trimmer, it's important to identify your needs. Do you need long battery life or will only use it occasionally? Do you need the ability to use it cordless or corded? What blade length is desired? And so on. If you are still unsure, keep reading for a breakdown of the Wahl Animal MiniFigura, BravMini+, and Vetiva Mini! 

It is important to note that prior to any clipping, you should always bathe and brush your dog first. Not only will this help provide your pup with a stress and tangle-free clip, but will help keep your blade from having to work in overdrive to power through dirt, debris, and mats.
