Goats - has anyone used these on dairy goats before? Do they work well for trimming the udder and surrounding areas? Think non-professional or "non-show" trim because I just need it to do a good job for a home dairy.

I would think it definitely would work on dairy goats. I bought it to use on my Dexter cow, and it does a great job. I'll see if I can post a photo of her udder on the review I did so you can compare, but I'm betting she has lots more hair than your goats do! :)

I used mine for horses but when I clean my outside pens where there aren't shavings and its piled deep I have trouble with that wetter stuff clogging up in the spreader. So I would worry a little that the cow patties might do the same.

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.

These would definitely be noticeable under a shirt... Also, there's only one in the box. It works great for nursing at home... And to use if you can only pump one side at a time. Just put it in the side you're not feeding from and it will catch the milk that lets down. Most useful during the few first months before your body learns to only let down on one side. (Used to "catch" about 2oz/day)

I use this for personal grooming -mustache, beard, around the ears, neckline, general "manscaping". It works fine. You won't get a 'clean shave' with this because it is designed for animals. You can press this up to the skin without getting cut/cutting animal, but you'll get close enough to give maybe 1/32" cut -a "day's growth" appearance" Have had it for 4 years now and still trims the hairs on my dogs' muzzles and ears too. Looking for replacement only because the combs I use for me broke and no replacements are available for purchase it seems

I have had the trimmer for over a year and I'm a novice at-home groomer. I think it would be perfect, but be careful. My suggestion would be to experiment with the trimmer by going very lightly over their delicate faces and don't repeat the same areas otherwise you will scrape the skin. I didn't realize how razor sharp it was and went over an area twic despite being light to the touch and a scratch from the razor developed. But this trimmer is designed for tight areas. Practice on the ears and feet first. Good luck!

Quite well in my opinion, tho I use it so much less for that. I use it predominantly for removal of animal hair. Even hair sort of "stuck" in certain fleecy fabric, it comes out easily. I am quite dependent on it. And if I am wrong your investment has not been too bad, after all. I have given lots of these as gifts for folks with pets.

I have only used them on my dog, on the box it says "works well for all lines of pets" I think if you are to use them on he main body of the horse and not the mane or tail where the hair is far more coarse, these would be great for horses.

This collar seems to work well on an animal with a more compliant nature to start with. I have one dog who (very strong willed) just got angry with the collar and barked harder with it on. In light of this, if your goat is the typical stubborn animal goats are reputed to being, I would be surprised if it worked. But hey! You never know! If it meant a few hours extra of sleep, it might be worth the try!

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 must have gotten a bad set of clippers since others had luck. Tried them on a Lhasa apso/shitzu mix and they barely cut any hair off of him. I've been grooming my dogs for 25 yrs and I consider these to be the worst clippers that I've ever had. Good luck

I don't think it is a good idea to use for pet trimming, this clipper is good for short and close hair only, very quiet and smooth but if you are looking for a powerful one this is NOT the the right one for you. It is not hurt to try on your pet hair once.

I haven't found that to be a problem with my dogs and cats. It seems to be working similar to a flea comb. I did find that it did take some top coat away and I think if you hit the same area over and over you could get a bald patch. Would I use this on a show coat? No, but for pet dogs and cats, even horses, yes I would use without hesitation. If this was used on a dog or cat with a very long coat, it might indeed cut the hair. I mean the blade of the comb looks like a clipper blade, but not sharpened, so there is that.

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 haven't used these clippers on my dog, I purchased to use for cutting my 2 yr olds hair because of the claim to be quieter and having rounded tips (I figured they wouldn't scratch as much). After trying them out I really don't find these clippers quieter than another set I purchased, which was just as quiet and actually cut hair better and more even then this particular set...so on a dog I'm not sure they would be the best option.

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 use a small amount twice a day. It works best with a boar bristle or similar type brush. I did the brush in the container and twist it to cake some one the bristles and then apply lightly at first, then brush it in thoroughly. It tames cow licks and can be used to slick back hair if you're going for the clean and groomed look as well. Hope this helps.
