I have a 12 lb shih tzu, do I buy this 6-inch scissor or should I get the same Conair in the 7-inch size?

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.

I have a shih Tzu about the same size and bought a 6 inch pair, my hands are very large and I have a little trouble with the holes for fingers but they cut very well and will fit your hand better than mine//larry

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 don't think it would make a big difference either way. I have a 10lb poodle and I use a smaller pair.

It depends on what you will be most comfortable with. You will have more control over the 6 in but 7in is not a huge difference

We have a 2 year old, 10 lb. Maltese. The scissors feels light, like the blades are aluminum. They did make a sharp cut though and I am satisfied so far. I liked the price as well. I was pleased with the six inch because I basically want it for trimming his face, head, tail and paws. LJL

I am using the large brush on my 65 pound pup. Even tho it doesn't seem very large I would think the small would be what you should order.

I bought for our 12 pound schnauzer; I have a $20 clipper from Target and the Mini Arco is milder quiter than the cheaper clipper but I think the dog tolerates it a bit better.B

I would say probably not. My 12 lb shih tzu just fits comfortably. It would fit one of either of them but not both in my opinion

I wouldn't use a curved scissor. The scissor quality is very good so buy a straight. Be very careful cats have very thin skin and can cut easily. Was groomer for years. If very matted May have to shave.

Yes, it is a "cut to fit" and works well on my 6 pound dog. It is on the wide side but isn't bothering her at all. This is the third month I've use it and she is much calmer, still a barker, but the crazy seperation anxiety is better controlled for her. I still recommend it.

Hello Daniel,This is Jude from HappyDogz.We're glad to help you with this.Our small - medium sized deshedding tool is actually for smaller dog breeds. We believe that the large sized brush would be a better fit for your Lab compared to the smaller brush. I hope this answers your question.Best regards,Jude(HappyDogz Team)

Definitely get the large one. I used it on my labs with thick hair for water retrieving and it works great. You won't be disappointed...

I have a "morkie" and I use a 7 on her. Works great! If the hair is really thick use a 5 skip tooth first ( but finish with the 7)

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 just received mine today. And, I had asked the same question because I have short haired lab/beagle mix. I compared the short hair cat Furminator to the short hair dog Fuminator. The dimensions were exactly the same, but for some reason the cat model was cheaper, so I took a chance. I was afraid to get the long hair version because the blades are wider and I didn't want to risk the blade getting to close to her skin. Anyway, I tried it immediately and am very happy! It works perfectly!

The 10 blade is a surgical blade. I don't use it except for trimming potty area. Use it very carefully though. I did go get a 5FC blade that I use on the body. I scizzor the face & legs. I have a shih tzu. I do have the guards which can be used with the 10 blade. I just prefer the 5, and I may get a 2 blade as well. Good luck. I'm not a professional groomer. Just got tired of paying $40 every time she needed grooming.

Robert, the 7FC is 3/8 inch, perfect for my poodles in the summer. Size 10 is the shortest one I use for faces, feet and tail of my poodles but you can go as short as a 40 which is "shaved." The larger the number the shorter it will cut the hair. If you look at the different blades, the length should be given for each one. The CeramicEdge is supposed to stay cooler longer, but to be honest, I can't tell a difference between it and the regular stainless blade, and I think the stainless ones cut better. I do like the Andis clipper. It is fairly light weight and changing the blades is a snap. (This site gives the length and usages for each of the different blades: https://www.andis.com/download/allBlades_chart.pdf Hope that helps.)

The small would be perfect. I have a 12 pound shih tzu and she has plenty of room. And this Thundershirt really does work!!

I have a shih tzu I always bathe her and put a conditioner on her. The trimmer comes with 8 different size combs. I love it .works for me Hope this is helpful.

Sorry-I'm not sure, but if you take a Conair guide comb to pet store- you could compare how the attachment combs compare for the 2 brands.

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.
