Animal Clipper Oils
Animal clipper oil is a lubricant designed specifically for use with electric or manual clippers that are used to groom animals. It serves several important purposes:
-
Reduces Friction: By lubricating the blades, clipper oil reduces friction between the moving parts. This helps the blades move smoothly, leading to cleaner cuts and less wear on the blades.
-
Prevents Overheating: Clipper blades can get hot with prolonged use. Applying oil helps to dissipate heat, keeping the blades cooler and preventing discomfort to the animal being groomed.
-
Extends Blade Life: Regularly applying oil to the blades helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can extend the life of the clippers.
-
Maintains Cutting Efficiency: Oiled blades stay sharp longer and cut more effectively, ensuring that grooming sessions are quicker and easier.
To use clipper oil, you generally apply a few drops to the blades before, during, and after each use, depending on how long you're using the clippers. Make sure to wipe off any excess oil to avoid buildup, which can attract dirt and hair.
