Sorry if this is obvious but don't forget, whatever the make, to get them regularly serviced and the blades sharpened. If clippers are making a lot of noise then they aren't always aligned properly....it is amazing how quiet they are when they are returned!

Yup they are the ones! We have 2 blades in use for each style of clippers we have...one set for rabbits and one for everything else. That way you don't get the coarse dog and cat hair bunging up the rabbit blades.

We use these too! They are good but sometimes they don't clip particular types off fur very well. Still giving them 9/10 though!

Ive used the standard corded one (can't remember the name of them - really well known!!), and some I think aesculap cordless - no difference in noise levels that I noticed.

However I do prefer corded, as a) - they don't run out during a busy morning, and b) they don't disappear off into the lambing shed or into the back of a vets car just before you need them for an ortho op!! (the joys of mixed practice eh )

We have a pair of Wella Contura but got dropped so now held together with sexy elastoplast.... still work just don't look too good in front of the clients so we've just got a pair of the Aesculap Isis ones... just as good and slightly cheaper and easier to get a replacement blades. I love them!

These are the ones we have. They're great when they're working. Sometimes they don't do a good job of actually shaving the fur but more often than not a really good clean will help.

Ah we have these ones :) Are great just for blood tests, but need to be kept out of Vets hands when a bloody patient comes in! They are a pain in the back side to clean! So only really good for the likes of blood tests/catheters etc :)

These ones are my favourite

You will need to translate the page.

I believe PLH or is it PHL medical can get these. Really easy to use great on coarse or fine bunny hair. Cleans easily. Very quiet. Blades are about £20. Nice investment.

Agree about the Wella ones, though expensive! I can't remember if its JAK or Vet Direct who do little pink handheld clippers that are really quiet and ideal for cats needing clipping for bloods. They're only about £10 however they're non rechargable/battery replaceable so you need to buy a new pair. However if they're only used to clip for venepuncture, they do last a good while.

I think Vet Direct do the ones you're talking about, we are hopefully getting some.

Probably is, I just saw pink clippers in a catalogue and got them, didn't pay attention who I was ordering from They're very good though would recommend them!

[/quote]

Lol! I would love to see my (male) boss using them hahahahaha!

We have a set of 'Andis' at work and they are reasonably quiet. Got them from jak I think.

HI,

Wella contur I think is the brand we used. Work well with all nervous patients.

Check out ebay as they are very expensive.
