regular barber clippers

Are regular barber clippers and attachments the same as clippers used to groom dogs? Thanks

in my personal experience I'd say not all are created equally. Because of the coat texture in a dog you really want a quality pair of clippers. I've got two pair I picked up at a department store and they are worthless, I had an Oster dating back to the 50-60's that was awesome until I disassembled it to clean it and lost a piece. My newest clippers are Andis and I love them. I think clippers are one of those purchases that you get what you pay, so go best.

Which ones do you have? I've been looking at these ones with ceramic blades in case scissor cutting doesn't work out

What attachments do you buy to go along with the Andis. My puppy is an ALD with loose, wavy, coat.

I picked up a couple, before I got the right one for length. Hopefully they all attach here? All purchased on Amazon. Top ones I just got and are good for face and sanitary grooming, the second clip is the one I like best for body although for some it might be too short? The last clip of for longer coats, Sassparillas is too short overall so it didn't phase her, my first cut with Maisie seemed choppy so I will need to work on it. Those are the clippers I picked up and I really like them then I got the spray in case I don't use a cover. This blade was recommended by someone here but I haven't purchased it yet but if you want to avoid the covers that would be the way to go?
