Good Grooming Clippers?

Maren Bell Jones · 06-01-2008, 02:54 PM

So my oldest dog Buck (10-12 year old husky/Rottie mix) is undergoing some treatment for his greasy skin that is likely allergy induced (could be a combo of food and environmental allergies, as the intradermal skin panel wasn't strongly allergic, just moderately for some grasses). He's got the fur of a husky and as much as I'd prefer not to, I'm considering clipping down his fur to about 1/4 inch to help the medicated shampoo and treatments work. I've never had a dog that needed grooming before, so any recommendations on brands and models of clippers? Nothing too fancy, I guess, but something that's low maintenance, long lasting, and won't break if I look at it wrong would be nice.
