Whether you share your home with a fluffy Persian, a golden retriever, or both, keeping their coats clean, tangle-free, and low-shedding is a year-round job. Professional grooming bills add up fast. The PG50 grooming clipper is built to change that, and after four weeks of testing it on both cats and dogs, we can tell you it genuinely delivers.
What is the PG50?
The PG50 is a dual-function home grooming clipper with an integrated shedding and cleaning mechanism. It's designed to trim, deshed, and collect loose fur in a single pass — reducing the amount of hair that ends up on your couch, floors, and clothes. Crucially, it runs on a whisper-quiet motor, which matters enormously when your audience has four legs and strong opinions about loud noises.
How it performs on cats vs. dogs
Excels on longhaired breeds (Maine Coon, Persian, Ragdoll). The deshedding attachment pulls through dense undercoat without tugging. Low noise keeps anxious cats calm throughout the session. Ideal for trimming sanitary areas and preventing belly matting.
Works best on small to medium breeds with medium-length coats (Doodles, Shih Tzus, Cocker Spaniels, Bichons). The adjustable blade lengths handle face trims and paw cleanup cleanly. The integrated shedding function is a standout for double-coated breeds like Huskies and Corgis.
