Can you use this product on a Westie that has been sheared for 14 years? Have never been happy with shearing but it was convenient.

I agree. The undercoat must be there, then this product will work nicely. It removes more undercoat from my Aussie than a Furminator.

Go to the Mars site for detailed breed info: http://marsgroomingproducts.com.au/breed-usage.htmlIt is cheaper to buy on Amazon than the manufacturer site in Australia listed above.

I believe they could be used as soon as the overcoat is regrowing since the Mars really removes most of the undercoat and cannot much for the overcoat so they both should be about inch-long thank you

Yes, of course. The Mar's coat king will only remove the dead hair. I suggest a 12 blade model this is the size that I use on my cavaliers

I wouldn't go so far as to say your Westie will love it, but I have liked the results with my smooth fox terrier. You have to be careful about not thinning too much, but that's more a reflection of how well the product works.

I think it would be a bit much for an 8lb dog. I wouldn't use it on anything less 15lbs. Now I'm not s pro on this, but my Westy is around 17lbs and it's just about right.

Olivia, I am the creator of Scaredy Cut and I think it's wonderful for you and your dog that you have a successful relationship with your groomer. If you are getting the grooming your dog needs and wants to be happy and healthy with the groomer then you really don't need to add to that with SCAREDY CUT or any other tool. If you do need to do some maintenance at home you could use SCAREDY CUT to do single cuts only, which would not involve brushing through the hair.Sincerely,Matthew Michel(877) SCAREDYCUT

This is gonna be either a hit or miss. I started to use it on my dog when he was 1 years old and he hated walking with something around his nose. He kept stopping while walking to try and take it off to the point that I couldn't walk to the corner with him. Granted, he was a 60 lbs dog at the time and try to pull a 60 lbs dog around isn't easy when your training him on a new leash. I think that you'll have an easier time training your 7 lbs Yorkie. But just a forewarning... If they don't like to have anything around their face, you will struggle a bit.

I have an 11lb. Toy poodle and he uses the smaller mouth piece, but I think the larger mouthpiece would definitely work for your westie. My dog has chronic bronchitis and he takes Flovent which helps greatly with his coughing. They just have to learn to be still for the required amount of puffs, but it's very easy to administer with the AeroDawg.

I soak my westie paws for only 2 mins and it works for him, and me ,keeping him in the soaking tub any longer can be trying...he-he . Bottom line it's up to u.

It would be hard to use as a straight comb-thru. Those teeth are tight enough that baby fleas are caught. If your chow is full maned I think it would be very difficult to use on that even if groomed well. It would be hard to use.

I would answer no! But I have and used it on small animals ie; my two Guinea Pigs. The returns are easy, I believe, don't work...return it.

I believe it would work well. I was just recently introduced to this brush and to a rake. I had previously used a Firmenator on our mini-aussie. There has been a great improvement in the texture of his coat since I started using the rake first and followed that by the slicker brush. It's easy to use, and my aussie stands still for it and seems to like it. I also use thinning shears on the hindquarters and tail, which gives a trim, but not close-cut look.

I had two 16lb cavaliers in it and it worked fine. Your westie should be fine.

Our collie is almost 5 years now. They are just a talkative breed. I read some feedback about issues with the collar shocking the dog and causing burns that required vet care. It kind of ended my interest in using the collar. I can't recommend something which could cause injury to dogs. it did work when we used it years ago. Now, we mire or less redirect our dog by bringing him in the house, or yelling at him to stop the barking. I appreciate that he barks if there is reason for him to such as when someone rings the doorbell or comes to the door.

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. ;)

I don't know which size would work best for your dog, but I would advise against planning to "cut to size". I have tried doing that and it was very hard and frustrating even using garden shears.

I wouldn't think so. I use a 6 blade on the body of my Cairn terrier, and it works beautifully. But it is too coarse for her face. I was actually considering buying a 12 blade for the face. If the 12 blade doesn't work on your Westie's face, you may need to buy even a finer blade, and then work carefully with it. Hope this helps.

Honestly- yes. BUT, you must be careful of how short you cut the dogs nails. I recently trimmed my pooches and he "whimpered" a bit on one of the last nails I was trimming and he started to bleed. :( I do recommend this product. I love it!

I would NOT advise it. I have a Teddybear Shichon and it will not cut through his hair. It is going to take a much more powerful and more expensive clipper. I wish I had NOT purchased this one. It is difficult to master I would imagine with a very good one---but this one is impossible. I am rethinking this because of my try. There are many other things needed like controle loop to keep them in position and good place for them to safely stand. Plus, it is time consuming for unskilled folks. I took about 4 hours and still was not happy with the results. Most had to be done with scissors. I would not recommend these for dog with thick hair.

Yes, I used it until recently on a 150 pound Rottweiler. Lost him at 13 years of age. I now use it on a Britany (50 pounds) Love this better than any of the others I have tried.
