do you think these clippers will do a full grooming on a 5 lb pomeranian? Just want to trim hair - maybe half an inch?

yes I use it on my yorkie, I like it better then my cordleess clippers. It is very good clipper for the money.

I have a standard cockapoo who weighs 30 pounds. The clipper does not work too well. I only use it for his feet. Of course, a pomeranian's fur is not as coarseor curly as a cockapoo's. Although I am not a professional groomer, I have personally groomed my cockers for over 20 years. Therefore, I am aware of the various clippers. I would not use this touch-up Wahl for full grooming. Please note that I am a big Wahl clipper fan. All my best clippers are manufactured by Wahl. Beth

Mine was as DEAD as a door nail when it arrived. AND I could not return it.

I bought to use on my cat. The noise scared him so I turned it off and just used the blade without the motor. It is for light weight work. I would not recommend for heavy clumps.

No. The trimmer will take a very close shave and is not meant to do a full grooming. This trimmer runs on 2 AA batteries and when it is on for a while, they need turned off to cool down. Made for a touch up trim only. If you are going to do a grooming, buy some grooming shears. I like Andis personally.

Mine works great! I just trim ears with it. They are small. So it might be too much.
1754074
Yes. If your patient and have a steady hand. Best used for small cuts as face or feet. Blade is about a 10 or #15. Only about an inch wide

Very lightweight. Should work for trimming, but is not made for shaving down. I use it on paws and it would work on faces, but that's as far as it goes.

Honestly. I have had poodles and.now Shit Tzu's. The pup needs to not be matted. That being said, there are several attachments so you can decide the length of the pup. I use no attachment to do the first groom after the winter. What I cannot do with the clipper, I use a scissor ( one came with my unit) I must say that having had many dogs who need to be groomed, I find that this unit is the best one I have ever used in the past 25 years. As I said, if the dog is too matted then a VET would have to use his groomer (they have one which goes very close to the skin). I say go for it. This is a great clipper! Honestly.

if its knotted you may want to try a 4 or 5 blade, if your clippers use detachable blades. use the combs for maintenance. you must be able to get a comb completely through your dog before you use these combs or you can hurt your pet.

I like to use the andis 3 3/4 blade for his all over cut; I keep him in a " puppy cut" and anything else I use shears--his ears and tail.If you like longer hair on the legs again use shears; (good luck). I even clip the top of his head because I love the profile. His hairgrows like the grass. And I haven't had luck using the slip-on combs without them needing cleaning immediately. Good Luck. What kind of dog is yours? Mine is a standard poodle.

I have a Shih-Tzu and an American Eskimo and it cuts both their hair with no problems other than the clippers get incredibly hot fairly fast. So be prepared for breaks, which I'm sure your pup will appreciate. ;)

They seem to have an issue with the battery - we have 2 dogs, and the battery barely lasts long enough to trim their nails. But, I have to admit that they are able to handle the trimming better with using the Peticure than the old method with the clippers. So, to answer your question, I would say, "yes."

How do you know if you should get the small or large combs. We have a bichon Shitzu and a mini goldendoodle and want to start grooming them with our new Andis ultra edge. Just not sure if we need the small or large combs. THANKS:)

i thought it was fine, but im not trimming a kitten. my poodles are experienced with clippers so were no problem. my horse doesn't like them around her ears but she wouldnt like them anyway! I really like the clippers, after 2 dogs they did get pretty hot but the dogs didn't seem to care.

Both my yorkies have really fine hair, and it works very well. I don't have experience with other clippers, but I've noticed you have to cut the same area a few times and in different directions to get it really straight, specially when using those spacers thingies :)

I don't think so, they aren't strong enough. These are more for simple trims. Matted fur usually needs clippers.

I bought these to use on my poodle. One speed clippers didn't work on her. Over the winter her fur got pretty long and matted and these clippers worked great. My son also used them on his dog. Not sure what she is but her hair is probably more like a collie. I would highly recommend these.

I believe you can get combs that would fit, as this clipper uses standard andis and oster blades. I believe the clipper just came with one "10" blade, which is the kind that shaves the dog. I never have any luck with plastic combs...I use several other numbered blades to get the hair length I want. It probably depends on the type of dog hair as to whether a comb attachment will work well or not. Those don't work on my Standard Poodles. Hope this helps.

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.

We have a maltese and a maltipoo, both about 9.5 lbs. These work well for trimming the delicate areas, eyes and such, occasional knot, etc. Good size for our purposes.

I think it depends on the type of the dog... If it's a poodle like mine, I tried them and I can cut the hair changing the direction so i can use the scissor with the left hand, but may be in straight fur would be more difficult

None of my dogs have thick hair. They are Airedale mixes. The scissors are very sharp and worked well for me. I would buy them again.

I'm sorry, we have a standard poodle and it seems to work well on her. I think the thought of one of the other clipper users is best, to go to a groomer who works with cats for a suggestion.
