how do these work on horses or dogs?

I've never tried it on any four legged animal as of yet. The Oster does cut through my beard quite easily. Fur/horse hair however, may be too much for this Oster. There are too many variables to make a sound judgement.

I am a Barber, I don't do dogs or horses. Oster offers essentially the same clipper with a different adjustable blade. The grooming blade adjusts down to 1/100". The battery is designed to hold up for 2 hours of continuous use, and there is a quick charge capability giving you 10 more minutes with a 2 minute charge. You can also run plugged in. You would be charging at the same time you are cutting. For people 2 hours is a whole days worth of work. I can leave them in the sterilizer all day then charge them over night. If you have used Oster clippers before and like them, these fill the bill without the cord. Beyond that, you will have to find a groomer for more questions. I am a Barber, I don't do dogs or horses.

Victoria, I am sorry but I really don't know the answer. All I know that are pups are very happy with them and they work very well. Might want to contact the company that makes them for your question. Regards, cga

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.

I have a Lab and a Poodle. I bought two sizes. They work well on both of my pets. My poodle has black nails and the labs is more of a transparent nail. I clip the ends in one good strong clip, then I use a dremel to grind them down shorter and smooth them out. I can only attest for what I've actually used them on. I hope this helps.

I forgot to say this has worked very well for my dogs. They were shocked once and now leave it alone. I usually have it off. I don't know about larger animals.

I do not know the answer to this question, I am a consumer and this product did not work well on my dogs.

I would think it would work on any animal with hair. It's not very "deep", and thus far had done a great job!

They are adequate to do the job and have worked well. As to whether they would be activated by cats or a small dog, I don't know. Unless some other user has direct experience with that situation, you may have to buy one and try it to find out.

i would assume so, they worked great on two different types of dog coats, they are very sharp so be careful.

Yes, they can work on any animal of that size, but, only if they work. I bought (in total) close to 20, and only around 1/3 of them were functional such that you could set them up properly.

I have standard Poodles and we had Wirehaired Pointers before these guys. The normal points should be enuf. Get the collars snug and give them a wiggle to seat them on the dogs. Usually all you need is the vibrator and that works regardless. I would start with what Dogtra sends. Great collars BTW. Steve

These clippers should work fine for what you need. My professional groomer friends use them at their shops for all breeds. I use them on Irish and English Setters and they work great. I think they would work nicely for light trimming on my horse too.

NO ! It will freeze them causing much anguish and pain, before they fell off. May even kill your horse.

They work great for small dogs too! I used mine on my parents' King Charles Cavalier with complete satisfaction. Quick, easy, and painless for all parties involved (the dogs AND me :) ).

they will be fine, they are made for any size dog, its just the matter of if your dog will let you do it, my dog is a small dog about 22 lbs and they work great on him.

I use my Oster clipper to clip miniature horses it is better than the a5 much more powerful but I don't know how it would be with dogs.

Strangely we could not get these to stay on any of our horses. They are in pastures so maybe if you have yours stalled they'll stay on. I thought they would be better than the Velcro but they are not. Talking with friends who also have horses out theirs didn't stay on either. No clue why because we could never catch the horses actually getting them off. We switched back to Velcro, double strap.
