Hello. It is very difficult to say "all grooming tools what I need". In this book you can find the most popular dogs and the correct handling of the grooming styles and tools. my proposal is following. you should look which Kind of dog you want to groom and after check the index of the book.

The Slicker is a really good brush. It gets a lot more hair off my dogs than the brush I was using. I am not sure about the deshedding tools. :)

Yes it is, in the herding group. The book has much more than just the cuts, it has all the basics a beginner would need to know, all the tools needed and what they are for and how to use them, how to cut nails, sanitary trims, trim paw pads plus so much more. The book has details on how to trim all the different breeds in each group. I'm sure you would find it useful no matter how experienced a groomer you are.

First I must ask if you have ever groomed a dog? Second, if your dog is matted, a #10 or #7F are good blades to use. If your dog is badly matted, you first have to make a space for the blade to get between the matt and the skin being careful not to cut the dog. DO NOT bathe the dog before clipping as it will make the matts worse and the hair will take hours to dry. This will take a while to do because you have to be very careful. I would not use a ceramic blade, the non-ceramic blades are just as good. I hope I have been some help to you and please feel free to ask about anything that is not clear to you.

I found a kit here on amazon that fit the clippers. It was a full set with all different lengths. I just had to make sure that it fit the andis. I love mine---my only complain is watch it when grooming because it heats up and will burn you pet if you dont watch it. I want to order the porcelion attachments but they are $$$$ maybe 1 at a time. those prevent the heat up. Hope that answers your questions----if not let me know.

I'm no dog groomer by any means so I'd go on YouTube & watch. Are you cutting in right direction? Maybe comb too small & you need a wider one to glide they hair. Good luck!

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.

The regular has two, but the animal has three. And yes, if you go to Dyson's shop (by clicking the dealer's name below the product title) you will see a bunch of other tools you can buy. The additional tool that comes with the animal is a mini turbine, which is used to pick up per hair.

The same as a regular clipper, I have 3 of these and use them all day every day. What kind of dog do you have? I am a pet groomer!! They are great clippers!!

I work for a veterinarian who has a grooming shop. The first one we had lasted for 8 years, before it went belly up. All kinds of dogs, heavy volume of pets, bathing boarding pets, etc. We liked the first one so well, that is why we purchased the second one. Sorry it took so long to answer you inquiry, however I have been in bed sick, and just looked at my email today.

http://www.petedge.com/library/library.jsp?pageName=se_clipperbladeuse . There are differences. Not all bichon's are created equal. The hair/fur of bichons vary. I have 3 and each has very different hair, what works with one doesn't necessarily work with the other. Each blade is designed with different capabilities. A broken blade, throw it away, period. See if you can accomplish the cut you want with your current blades. Read about blades capabilities, it's helpful. I found that visiting professional groomers and asking them questions about the different blades to be used on a specific breed to be very informative. You'll find groomers to be very willing to be helpful!

Yes. I am very pleased with the product. I purchased it under the recommendation of my groomer.

Nothing really, comes with the tether, grooming bar, and table. If anything, you might want to get a better grooming tether, it tends to loosen easily.

You need a harness that keeps your dogs backend standing while you are grooming, it comes with one but doesn't work as good.

no. i don't see a need. it's not a harsh shampoo and my dog smells better than when i get her professionally groomed.

If I ever needed a replacement comb--and I doubt that, as the comb is very strong--I would purchase from the original source, DAK, whom you will find on the pets category on Amazon, if you key in "de-shedding tool". Hope this helps!
