I have a Maltipoo and a Maltese/Shi Tzu mix. Will these combs go through their hair without getting tangled?

The only way comb attachment can go thru any dogs hair is if it is completely matt free...if ur dogs hair has no matts these combs are perfect for cutting dogs hair to different lengths :)

The hair on a Malti-Poo is thin and fine. It will bend and tangle without getting cut. the Andis clipper and combs work better for dogs with hair that is more coarse and thick.

I have 3 Maltese Chihuahua mix and have not had any problems with the combs. You just have to experiment with the combs to find out which is best suited for the cut you want and I did not have any tangle problems.

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 saw this question before I bought this brush. I bought it to try on my Havanese. As you know the Coton de Tulear and Havanese have very similar hair (not fur-thick, fine hair) and it tangles very easily. Most of the big tangles start out as tiny 'BB' size balls of tangles which turn into larger extremely tangled hair. I have, this week, been testing this brush on Tara. I used my regular comb to find those tiny balls of tangles (did not remove them) and then used this brush to brush over those tiny tangles. Then I went back and used the comb (to see if the brush got those out), most of those tiny balls of tangles were gone, some of which easily came out into the brush which as you know happens with these types of tangles sometimes. It wouldn't budge the big, hard-core tangles but no brush or comb that I have found will get those out easily. That takes either a lot of patience to get out or a pair of scissors. I really do like the way this brush makes Tara look. She looks refined, soft and very well groomed. So it will work on dogs with thick, fine hair on those tiny tangles.

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. I would NOT advise it.

I have Dobermans and I use these clippers to clean up whiskers, ears, flank area, legs and hock area prior to being shown. I do not and have never used the comb attachments. I really have no idea how these clippers would work with a poodle... sorry.

Yes. But if you only take about 1" peice of your hair at a time and make sure your hair is free of knots then your hair shouldn't get tangled.

The teeth are all even, in an even row of the same length teeth. The teeth move as they are worked through the fur so there is little or no pulling, which is the success of this comb. It has worked wonderfully with my cats and dog.

They do tend to tangle..don't use a brush. Using a wide tooth comb, or your fingers . Also, when you wash it, use a good conditioner & work it through and rinse well, gently comb while wet.

Just get the long hair one. They work very well and it should do fine on both animals.

Yep :)! If it does happen to tangle make sure you use a wide-tooth comb/wig comb OR use your fingers. Also when doing so, work from bottom to top!

If the fur is getting caught in the comb, then you will need to brush the dog out before clipping. I just did 5 poodles, and had no problem.

I have 2 dogs. They have hair not fur but it still gets all over the house. I let them lay on my bed sometimes and the hair doesn't seem to cling to it at all.

I'm not really sure. There must be ones that do, but the one I bought didn't fit either, and I returned it. I pretty much only use the clippers for closely shaving my pets, so it didn't really matter in my case. I haven't pursued trying to buy another comb, so I'm sorry I can't be of any help. I do know that I really like the clippers though. They shave so smoothly and so quietly. My pets actually think I am just giving them a massage, and they seem to enjoy it!

Absolutely. The best thing is that they are never going to tangle up on the hair. It's not a pain to put back on. Takes a second to do it because it just slides right over the hair wet or dry. Best purchase EVER!

It will tangle until you get the hang of it. Use small sections of hair and make sure it is brushed out before using and you will be fine!

That's the exact setup I use - Andis Master clippers with these combs. The guards never slip and I have yet to break one, though I bought several in the event I ever did break them. They are quite robust!

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.

Most likely. I also recommend using show sheen before combing. It helps separate the hair and make it easier to comb out tangles.
