wILL THE CLIPPERS CUT THROUGH MATTED FUR?

Yes. I have used them a couple of times on my Golden Retriever when her hair got matted after playing in the snow. They work great.

I'm not sure my dogs hair isn't matted but with how hard it is to go through my dogs thinker hair it would probably be difficult to shave a matted per.

I am not sure. We have never had to try to use the clippers to cut through matted fur. The fact that you use the clippers going with the lay of the fur rather than against the fur (opposite of using clippers on a person's hair), I would doubt they would cut through matted fur.

We have used other clippers before and like them these cut well enough to do the job. The thing about this set is the noise level was down.Our Schnauzer has different areas but not realy matted hair.

My dog did not have matted fur, but is was thick. The clippers did a good job.

You will need to take the scissors and cut the worst of the matting off. The trimmers will cut but at the expense of your dogs comfort. Wash try to get the worst with scissors. comb as best you can, then go with the trimmers. It can be alot of work but that is true no matter what clippers you have.

My dog's hair was almost 3 inches long and very matted when I cut her. I used a #10 ultra-edge blade and it did fabulous! I have to mention though that I cut her down very close to the body since I didn't want to have to cut her again for quite some time. If you are only wanting to trim it down just a bit, I don't know if the #10 would work the same since I haven't tried it myself. I hope this helps!

It should work just fine on the sheepdog. Are you shaving the dog? I get a lot of "summer cuts " this time of year and my clipper works great.

Yes and the best clippers I've owned. I cut both mine and the dogs hair. Other clippers snag but these cut like knife through butter. Easy to clean and change cutting head.

I would not. It will dull the clipper blade pretty fast, not to mention pull on the hair.

I think it would work good for that dog. The dog I cut was an English Spaniel and has fur like a sheep and I was pleased with the 2 speeds of this clipper

I am not sure a cat should be shaved. I owned many cats & I never shaved any of them. Of course the clippers make noise, quiet to an animal is subjective.

It might, but long claws will poke through sooner or later. Best to keep them trimmed.

They do (as per the picture, I'm pretty sure I have the same clipper, but might be an older model as I've had them a bit over a year), but they're very tight. I almost returned them because I couldn't get them on. Took them to my local groomer and she got it on. Basically, put it on opposite from how the directions say (ie. starting in back versus front, or vice versa). I use them on my goats. It has a hard time with the undercoat, but it works. I dont think either of those dog breeds are typically double-coated... so it should work fine. It works great on coarse goat hair... just has trouble with the downy fluff - but seems all clippers struggle with that.

I would think these clippers would do just fine. But I don't have that kind of hair so can't be totally sure.

Yes..? I have two schnauzers...works well. Sometimes the clippers get too hot against their skin...after prolong use.

It's really hard to say it cuts the cockapoo and yorkies hair well but I don't think it would have cut our himilayans. Is the hair matted, and is it superfine /fluffy type or thicker and coarser

I'm not really sure. There must be ones that do, but the one I bought didn't fit either, and I returned it. I pretty much only use the clippers for closely shaving my pets, so it didn't really matter in my case. I haven't pursued trying to buy another comb, so I'm sorry I can't be of any help. I do know that I really like the clippers though. They shave so smoothly and so quietly. My pets actually think I am just giving them a massage, and they seem to enjoy it!

If you don't have a skittish cat yes. The clippers are loud and it freaks my dog out. It cuts good though. Blades don't last very long on my dog but over all I like the clippers.I have never trimmed a cat so GOOD LUCK LOL!!

The clippers will get hot. Besides the blade getting hot, you will feel it in your hand from the body of the clipper. I check the blade periodically by putting the flat of the blade on the back of my hand or cheek. I don't believe the dogs feel the heat much when you are clipping the body of the coat but you need to be careful of their faces, feet and other sensitive parts if you clip them. I blow on their feet while clipping if I am close to being done with the task. Otherwise, I let the clippers cool & do something else such as brushing or clipping toenails while the clippers cool.

Yes. We have our groomer clip the nails and put on the soft paws during the grooming process.

I don't see why not. If you think they will sit still for it. My wife has used this clipper on my own head and with amazing results (I use it now in place of my other clipper). It is powerful enough for matted fur. Our dog is wheaten Terrier and her hair grows just like human hair. If we don't give her a hair cut regularly, her hair will grow straight to the ground! And boy does it get tangled and matted! When that happens we just shave her closer. This clipper gets pretty warm, but has not failed to work. (When JD's hair gets that unruly her haircut just takes a little longer. Which she does not mind one bit. She loves all of the attention. Hope this helps. I don't see why not.
