We have selected what we have found to be the 3 best dog clippers on the market. The dog clippers on our list are all round, versatile clippers that work equally well on a Chow Chow, Poodle or a Golden Retriever as a Pomeranian, Bichon Frisee, Shih Tzu or a Lhasa Apso. In other words, all of our 3 best dog clippers can be used on fine or thick coats as well as long or short hair.
These clippers have multiple speeds and perform smoothly during full body trims and finishing work alike – slower speeds for detail clipping and cooler operation, faster speeds facilitating and speeding up full body clipping.
The selection criteria to determine the best dog clippers have been:
- best results and clipper experience
- best build quality and
- best value for your money
The dog clippers on the list are of reputable brands and should last you for years to come. Though sometimes, but not always, more expensive than many other clippers, they are more economical in the long run than other makes that break after a year and/or where spare parts are difficult to get hold of.

Andis AGC Super 2-Speed Professional Animal Clippers
The Andis AGC Super 2-Speed Professional Animal Clippers are super sturdy clippers with a strong, low noise, and low vibration motor that doesn’t easily overheat. The motor is sealed in and needs no cleaning or greasing. You will find the clipper easy to handle and comfortable to use with the power to deal with the thickest of dog coats. There is a wide choice of blades as the Oster A5 blade range will fit this clipper as well as the Andis blades. We like the extra long 14 feet power cord, the spare blade drive, the low noise level as well as the shatter proof casing.

The 3 best dog clippers on our list all come with size 10 blades, but check out the Dog Clipper Blade Guide for Different Dog Breeds to make sure you get the right blade sizes for the type of coat or breed you intend to clip.
Keep in mind that dog clipper blades used on high speeds and/or dense coats are likely heat up sooner or later, so it’s a good idea to have extra sets of blades to allow you to continue clipping while the heated blades cool down.
Also, even with the best dog clippers, you will always need to take excellent care of the blades. This is in order to reduce the heating up of the blades, protect the motor, and ensure maximum performance. So, ensure your clipper blades are kept scrupulously clean and oiled.
