Grooming appointments were stressing my dogs and my wallet. I was spending around $200–$220 every time I took both schnauzers to the groomer — including tips. Sure, they came back looking flawless… but at that cost and with so much stress involved, I knew I needed another option.
That’s when I found the PetKit Grooming Kit with vacuum, and honestly? It changed everything.
What It Is: Grooming Kit + Vacuum in One
The PetKit grooming set looks like a small vacuum, but it comes with a full clipping machine, multiple grooming attachments, and a sleek, Dyson-inspired design (even the dust container feels Dyson-esque).
Here’s what it includes:
- Rechargeable grooming clipper with multiple comb attachments
- Built-in vacuum that collects all the hair as you groom
- Attachments for de-shedding and brushing (best for cats or dogs with double coats)
My Honest Experience
✅ The Clipper Works With or Without the Vacuum
You can use the clipper on its own — if it’s not connected to the vacuum, it trims like a regular grooming machine (yes, hair will go everywhere 😅).
But once you plug it into the vacuum… it sucks up all the hair instantly as you go. No mess. Zero cleanup. It’s honestly wild how clean the process becomes.
✅ The Battery Life Surprised Me
I was worried I wouldn’t have enough time to groom both dogs. So I started with the fluffier one first — expecting the battery to run low before I finished. But to my surprise, the battery indicator was still full after one full session.
✅ Less Noise, Less Stress
Compared to the Andis clipper I used to use (which made my dogs nervous), the PetKit clipper is quieter and gentler.
Even the clipper guards work better — I used to avoid them on my Andis because they didn’t glide well. These ones do, and they make the process smoother and safer.
I currently use the 6mm comb, which gives me the finish I like.
Cleaning Is No Longer a Nightmare
Before this, grooming my dogs at home meant:
- 2 hours grooming
- 4 hours cleaning the bathroom
Hair. Everywhere.
It stuck to the walls, floated to the ceiling fan, even got into the exhaust vent. I tried doing it outside — but hair would blow into the pool, the grass, and beyond.
Now? The vacuum sucks everything in. My bathroom stays clean. Grooming takes a fraction of the time. I actually look forward to doing it now.
To empty the bin, it works just like a Dyson — press, release, done. Super hygienic and mess-free.
Price & Where I Got It
- Regular price: $129–$149
- I paid $79 at Best Buy during a Black Friday in July sale (around the same time as Prime Day)
- Total win 🙌
A Few Notes on the Other Accessories
The grooming kit comes with several attachments — like a de-shedding brush and slicker brush — but I haven’t used those much yet. My dogs don’t need them (they’re schnauzers, not heavy shedders). I’d imagine those are better for cats, labradors, or dogs with dense undercoats.
Final Verdict: 10/10 Worth It
I’m honestly in love with this device.
No more flying fur, no more bathroom disasters, no more stressed-out dogs — just clean, quick, practical grooming at home. And way cheaper than monthly appointments.
