What size guard would you recommend for these clippers for a big dog?

Depends how short you want him. The blade that comes with it is real short.

I think a #10 comes with it, which almost skins them. I use a #7 for a short cut on my small dogs, not sure that dog size matters. if my dogs behaved better I would use the #10 on their bellies...

I'm not sure but I'd start w/ reg. because they are adjustable to depth of bite & completely flexible & I've use then for years & love 'em & they adjust to width & depth. Here's the #1-888-792-0865 call & they can answer Q & A...I suspect the narrow might be for children &/or very petite adults. They do a great job, last lots longer than they claim, & cost a small fraction of a custom nite guard - and do the IDENTICAL job !! :o)

They are not sharper than the originals I found that my other ones were sold out that I thought the same thing as you but that was not the case try using the smallest guard possible to keep it from cutting into your skin until the dull out a little bit I think there's a half for a1 inch that you could use for guard I don't think you installed them incorrectly although I don't have a picture or anything but you would not be able to use the Clippers they would make a horrible sound and would definitely not work I hope this helps good luck

I must have gotten a bad set of clippers since others had luck. Tried them on a Lhasa apso/shitzu mix and they barely cut any hair off of him. I've been grooming my dogs for 25 yrs and I consider these to be the worst clippers that I've ever had. Good luck

These clippers can be used for poodles or horses. The blade is the key. If you want a close clip you need a 40 blade. This will be skin tight, often known as a surgical cut. If you want a little longer cut, a 30 blade. The 10 blade will only take off the curls.

i hav e an old english sheep dog, 110 lbs. we've used the clippers many times and have had no problems. they don't over heat after hours of use, the smaller touch-up one works well for between pads bridge of nose and my friends tiny dog. i would buy them again or get them for a friend, they work fantastic. the wahliterature claims they will exchange them if they don't work. seems to be a great deal.! have fun with them.

I don't know about that; I ordered a 2nd blade (for heavy matting) and it fit the clipper fine, though the guards did not fit well at all. I would contact their web site...

This nail clipper fits my 50 lb poodle's nails with some room spare, but I'm with the others and recommend you go with the large. There's no harm in getting it bigger than you may need.

The 6" do a good job on my BIG Labradoodles' faces. Don't think you would need larger scissors if you are trimming a smaller dog's face.

My vet uses Millers Forge clippers, but they are a bigger size than the ones I bought, but look the same. I'm very happy with the smaller ones, since they work equally as well on my 75lb. dog as on my 11lb dog.

If yours are professional clippers then probably not. They did not fit mine, these were not wide enough. My clippers are a powermax, I had to buy mine at the osterpro.com, needed A5 guides.

Yes I would say so. They are very quiet. They are still clippers so be careful if you take the guards off.

I would recommend the large size. It will give your dog more room to get comfortable.

The clipper and blades are terrific! I used the number 10 for close and the 4F for a longer length and 15 for the face , nose and eyes. I had 2 # 10's as the blades get hot, I would cool them in the blade wash. These are powerful enough to go through matts. My dog was a lahasa apso and poodle mix. He had a very thick coat and undercoat. These blades work very well, you just need to figure out what size you want and maybe order 2 of one kind and a couple of other sizes, so you can keep clipping, because they do get hot.

Certainly, they should work just fine for a 12-lb dog. The cutting surface is very controllable, even small nails will be easy to clip.

The same as a regular clipper, I have 3 of these and use them all day every day. What kind of dog do you have? I am a pet groomer!! They are great clippers!!

Hi Mark, For big dogs like the great dane we would recommend the SD-425S, it is a trainer for large dogs (over 100lbs) as well as stubborn dogs. You can find there here:
