Does anyone use these thinning shears on dogs?

Though I haven't used it for that purpose, the space between teeth is sufficient for thinning a shaggy dog's hair. The results from thinning with these shears are considered "chunky" according to my hairstylist (as there are finer/narrower tooth versions), so from that perspective I'd think it a good thing for use with a dog's less fine hair.

I use them on my human clients, and they have been good thinning shears,especially for the price! Thats very inexpensive for decent shears,i dont know about thinning dogs hair, is it for show or the acually thin the hair,you may be better with clippers.

I don't own a dog, but I think there must a good reason why on the market they offer specialized scissors/thinning shears that you could use on dogs. I cut my hair with these shears, and I have to admit that sometimes its a bit painful (like when a strand of your hair gets entangled and etc). I found these thinning dog shears:http://www.amazon.com/Master-Grooming-Stainless-Thinning-7-5-Inch/dp/B003WH2JY8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1399416842&sr;=8-3&keywords;=thinning+scissors+for+dogs

I use my kitchen shears to cut them up! Some you can break with your fingers but some are a bit firmer! My dogs love them and are the best deal in town.

I can only tell you that for my Eskie (American Eskimo) that it works great for what I use it for which is mainly for paws and hygiene areas. Occasional un-detangable areas (which cuts through like butter ;) ). Everything else I use electric shears. They feel very well made and suit my needs perfectly and feel confident they will last a long time.

Thats not going to work...I sorry but the blade isn't that sharp and I'm almost positive the shaver isn't strong enough to cut through dog hair...unless the dogs is really fine. They sell animal trimmers.

Jodi: I had purchased a Wahl Pro several years ago and still had the attachments that allow for various depths of cuts. I use those on both dog and horse. If I want to just trim and not get too close, I use the appropriate "clip-on attachment". You may want to browse the clippers and see which ones come with the clips of various depths. Hope that helps.

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.

You will not have a problem. We have 2 dogs with very thick nails and they cut them no problem. They are very sharp and easy to use. We are very pleased with them!

The blades are fairly wide. I use mine to body clip my horse, but i've also shaved my friends cat(a Maine Coon with hair mats), so I'd say yes, they're fantastic clippers, i've never had a problem with them, just keep them clean and oiled. If you're wanting to do detail work, they're fairly wide, but they cut clean and even. they run quietly too, and don't get overheated too fast.

I think that they will be ok for Bichon (my dogs are coton de tulear). They are very good shears.

I wasn't impressed with these at all. I used them a few times before they didn't work very good so I returned them and got the Wahl Super Taper 2 clippers. They work great and I have no complaints at all.

They work waaaaay better. I think they have a faster clipping speed, so they will go through much thicker hair. I tried using human clippers on my dog...they got stuck in her hair immediately and didn't work at all. I purchased the Andis clippers and they go right through her hair, like a hot knife through butter. �

No, these scissors will not work for that purpose. It would be best for you to untangle the hair first. I find the best way is to use my fingers to pull the matting apart, making sure not to pull on the skin. When the hair is almost untangled I go in gently with a fine metal comb, separating the rest of the matt. This does not alarm the pet in any way.

These are clippers not edgers/trimmers. Andis T outliners are PERFECT for what you're describing. Look into those. I use them and they are thee best!!!

Yes, these clipper/trimmers are for animal grooming, not for human hair. For years I have been sticking to the Wahl Arco and Mini Arco (I think they are the best I've found) so I don'tknow anything about your model; but I will say be careful with blades. We have fought to find the blades we need (it IS an unusual size) for the models we have and have made mistakes over it. Try to get just what you need but only for the model you have. They should tell you what blades are available for the Chromstyle don't they?? Don't try to interchange blades without the correct info first, is my advice.

Andis makes clippers. I have never seen Andis shears. If you want a good shear for a Newfie, I would recommend Kenshi brand. My 'go to' shears are Kenshi Scorpions 8' curved. I love them & they are not on the highest end of Kenshi, so they are affordable. You will be happy with them.

I have a set that we bought for our dog. He is a chow/golden retriever mix. The clippers work well for what we use them for. We don't trim all his hair, just his legs, feet, ears and any excess hair on his hindend . Can't really say how they would work for a full clip but I think they would be fine. Hope that helps.
