Yes I would our blades only lasted for 3 lambs before dulling. Make sure to have animals clean and dry it makes it easier on blades.

Hmm. We have a large herd of horses and need to body clip our minis each spring. We don't have extra blades, but if you have multiple llamas, I'd recommend purchasing a couple of extras so that blade dulling doesn't slow you down. We love our big Oster clippers.

I found my blades don't heat up too terrible. I did purchase the cool down spray and an extra set of blades so I could change them out if they did. I have a cocker spaniel and his coat was really thick and they did an excellent job of grooming him. He is no longer with me sadly.

The answer is that the easy clip that comes with the 3 blades is NOT compatible with any other blades. That's why you need to go to the Jeffers Pet site and order those blades. They have a smaller foot than the regular blades you would buy in the open market. They will not fit the easy clip!

Hi Peggy this is a fantastic clipper for any dog... if you are new to grooming Suggest you do a little research on the type of blades you will need to achieve the desired look for your dog. There is loads of info out there when you search "how to groom a ----. Suggest going with ceramic blades rather than steel as they stay cooler longer.. I should clarify that I am by no means a pro and only take care of my lasso apso and A cocker spaniel trimming both with a 10, 7 and 3 blades to achieve a puppy cut.. Lower the number longer the cut... Higher the number the closer the cut... A 15 will cut down to skin. You can also use a 10 blade with a plastic rake attachment to get a longer cut but I have not. Hope that helped

they should be, I have very good luck with them for wool, lama and alpaca. but they can only do a small amount at a time so it can be a little time consuming.

Well, if you're going to groom all the way down and leave just short hair then you can use this Oster A5, or thin with grooming shears. I use combs that attach to the A5. They attach to the blade and limit the length of hair that is cut. Look online for instructions for grooming your Lhasa Apso will give you an idea of the type of what equipment you will need. And lots of rest stops and maybe not getting it all done at one time. Sometimes I just do one side at a time. But patience is the key to any grooming! Good luck!

You only need to get one. Get the wide blade for long hair. Works perfectly fine on either cat coat.

I would say yes. we have 4 miniature Schnauzers and use this clipper and it works great. All clippers will get hot which irritates the animal so take breaks and switch to trimming with other things such as a mini clipper or scissors to allow the larger clipper to cool off or try using a wash cloth with ice to cool the blades. As with anything that uses a shearing action to cut the faster it goes the more heat from friction is produced so keep that in mind.

Your choice depends on what you want to accomplish. My Andis blade came with a #4...and I bought the combs to have the option of leaving the dog's hair longer. The combs help keep the blade away from the dog's skin.

It depends on the trim you intend to do on your poodle. For a simple kennel cut, I use #10 on face, tail, feet, and #7 on body and legs. Before you purchase clippers, do purchase a good book on poodle grooming. There are also some good videos on YouTube that show which blades to use for various trims.

I am thinking, "No". I have some other clippers, and I popped it off to look. This clipper head has a rectangular sheath on the back side that slips down over a square metal piece. The ways that the two clippers transfer the motion to move the blades is different. I don't know if this is specific to pet clippers, but this blade is incompatible with all my Wahls. The Wahl blades tend to have a metal tab that fits in a slot at the bottom of the clipper head and they snap into place. The Andis clipper has a protruding rectangular tab attached to it (about the size of a squared off end of a butter knife), and the blade has the slotted sheath on the other side of those two screws that slides down around it to snap in place. (I'd also say that, even with the added cost of a new pair of pet clippers you can easily get 20x the price back over a 5 year period if you have several pets and do it yourself every 3 months. We've love this blade because its impossible to even nick our ragdoll cats with this... even when we get to the elastic areas by the legs, thighs and genitals. No guard is required.)

I own a BossKut Gazelle and have not been able to cut it. The best I've been able to do is have the blade make 2 or 3 passes to mark the plastic and cut it out with scissors (simple shapes only). But the process of having the blade make multiple passes also means that each time it passes, the mat has moved just a hair so it's not perfectly lined up with the first cutting pass.

No idea since I have no experience with cutting animal hair or how those types of shears are constructed. But I would imagine that it would work in the same principle where the longer and thicker the hair is the longer it would take to cut and how quickly it would dull the blade.

I have 2 sets of blades so I can switch if I need to. I usually don't have to though. I groom my cats so I will trim until they have had enough then go back later to do some more.

Please unscrue the two scruse on the back of the blades, when you do this then you will see 4 small scruse! Tighten them down and you shouldnt have any more poblems,

I'd think these are more for regular cutting in the kitchen. Bones would break these down too quickly. I'm not really sure what to suggest except looking into hunting gear type shears?

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.
