Could I use these to "shape" the body of a Bichon Frise ? Will they remove the top layer of the coat cleanly ?

The blades are fairly wide. I use mine to body clip my horse, but i've also shaved my friends cat(a Maine Coon with hair mats), so I'd say yes, they're fantastic clippers, i've never had a problem with them, just keep them clean and oiled. If you're wanting to do detail work, they're fairly wide, but they cut clean and even. they run quietly too, and don't get overheated too fast.

I'm sure you could as they are sharp and clip very well but the blades are wide. You would have to get a different set of blades

I have done my pugs a peke and a maltese. The blade gives out pretty quickly though.

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 don't know because I returned mine. The pins were short and would not penetrate my two Shelties' double coats. The pins are rounded on the tips--not good. I replaced it with an Andis that has a single row of much longer rotating pins that are pointed, which easily penetrates a double coat and works beautifully. &#128062;

Yes, you can do different lengths using the blade guards. I use the shortest guard on my Havanese and it leaves her hair about an inch long. Just make sure coat is clean before clipping.

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

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 bet it would work really well for taxidermy. I use it on my English Angora rabbits for showing. it removes tangles from their wool.Deb

Can't see why it wouldn't work unless your coat has a oversize collar and is very top heavy.

My Setter/Chessie mix has a long, thick double coat. As long as I take my time, the #7 blade works great for a short cut. If I try to shave too fast it has trouble.

If you can train the dogs to use them than I don't see why not. There usually is an attractant in the pads so the dogs smell it and are drawn to them to do their business. Plus if it gives your dogs some dignity and they aren't having accidents, everyone's happy. When my dogs were puppy's I praised them every time they used them and they have ever since. Winters in my area can be very cold and blustery. My 5 pound Yorkie dislikes going out in the freezing cold or when it's very hot, she's a diva :)

Yes, absolutely. Wet the coat, apply and lather it then wait a couple of minutes before rinsing. Works beautifully for my St Bernard who has lots of pure white on her coat, including all four of her paws. Smells nice too!

Yes you should be able to do that. They are heat resistant so you could straighten them if that's what you want.

i would recommend you too use a gel top coat for this product. that way, it wont move or mess up your design.

I have a Shih Tzu and her hair gets very long. I am also very familiar with the Cocker Spaniel coat as I have owned one as well. Yes it will work fine. Go slow in the direction of the hair, not against the direction. Keep the blades moderately oiled. Also make sure you detangle any possible knots and brush thoroughly before you cut. You will be fine.

We trimmed our Austrial Shepard with them and the worked well. He has very thick fine and human clippers would not even start to work but these did. Use caution as the cut quickly thru even thick hair and hold wrinkles down flat or stretched tight to avoid cutting your dogs skin. Takes some practice to get a even trim, so start long.

No, I dont think these shall serve the purpose mentioned in question. These are mainly for metallic finishes like automobiles, wood in some cases but not dogs. And they are not too big either. :) Hope the answer helped.

Possible but not easy. Would have to remove glass at least partially and built wooden filler panel with doggie door opening. Incidentally, we have discovered method to rivet electronic sensor to collar which works beautifully. Our two dogs are extremely active outdoors, wrestle one another etc. and zero problems with lost sensors.
