1. Basic Definition
Pet hair shaver (also known as pet electric shaver) is an electric trimming tool designed specifically for pets, used for safe and efficient trimming or shaving of pet hair, suitable for daily grooming, styling, or medical needs (such as surgical preparation).
2. Core functions
Hair trimming: Adjust comb teeth of different lengths to achieve multi-level styling from short shaving to fine trimming.
Thinning treatment: Some models are equipped with thinning blades to reduce the amount of thick hair without completely shaving it off.
Sensitive area operation: Low noise, low vibration design, suitable for trimming feet, face, abdomen and other parts.
3. Main types
Home entry-level model: lightweight and easy to operate, suitable for regular maintenance of short haired pets.
Professional grade model: high-power motor, capable of processing thick fur for a long time (such as Samoyed and Pine Lion).
Silent water wash version: Waterproof design, noise level below 50 decibels, suitable for timid pets.
4. Difference from human shavers
Blade design: The pet blade is wider, and the comb spacing is suitable for the mixed growth of fluff and hard hair.
Power intensity: The motor torque is higher to avoid jamming or pulling.
Safety protection: Equipped with additional protective combs and temperature control to prevent accidental injury to pet skin.
5. Applicable scenarios
Seasonal shaving: helps long haired pets (such as Persian cats, Alaska) dissipate heat in summer.
Skin disease management: Local shaving is convenient for applying medication or cleaning wounds.
Competition level beauty: complete specific dog breed standard styling with different blade heads.
