Can these scissors be used for large breed dogs too, such as a Golden Retreiver?

I don't know, however I don't why you couldn't use them , as the have quite a few different size blade combs. I am still trying to get used to them, however my Mini Schnauzer is not the least bit afraid of them which is a plus. It really isn't a big investment so if you do get them you won't feel to bad about buying them. You can not cut the skin or anything with them . They are safe..

Yeah, but you're going to want to separate it into cutting sessions, or you're gonna get a blister or two on your hands from trimming so much all at once. Even for a "small" 20-25 lb cat (well its quite large for a cat, but "small" in relation to a dog), I will usually do the main body in 1 session, and all the smaller trimmings (back legs, tummy, chest) in a later session.

Yes I have both a golden and a poodle. It would take a while with a golden..

I don't know if they will work well for that or not. The cuts are very narrow, probably an 8th of an inch or so. I can't see these scissors cutting through anything hard like a dog biscuit. Maybe something like beef jerky but you will be left with more or less shreds.

Hello Jacki they certainly should work very well and if they do not then we would be happy to give you a refund. When testing we trimmed the nails of a lot of very large dogs. As ever with these bigger dogs the secret is gentle but firm restraint and then cut very quickly but only remove a small bit at a time. I hope this helps and thank you for a great question.

I went to a skip tooth blade and it works wonder's with our curley goldendoodle. I imagine it will work on your dog also. We went with a size 4 skip tooth and it was great

I don't see why they wouldn't. I am not a professional, just a dog owner but I have used them on both of my dogs. The smaller one is 7ibs and they worked well.

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.

This is a pretty large clipper made for dogs. I would look for one made especially for cats if I were you.

The scissors can be resharpened fairly easily and adjusting the tension can help with thicker fur. The company also stands behind the product and replaces scissors if they are dull. A how to demo video is available on our website.

I have not used it on a golden ret., but do use it on my std poodle and airedale terrier. I had had a wahl plug in adjustable blade for over thirty years and loved it. This appears to be the battery version of the old clipper. So far I like the new clipper.

I tried that once to cut the large for my two Ital Greyhounds and the large were too thick for them and were very difficult to cut. My girls like the medium sized ones and only have trouble with the really thick ones.

You certainly could. I have used them anyplace I needed to splice my dog fence

I'm only guessing here, but I think they would work. My dog, a Gordon Setter, has very fine hair instead of the rough fur you think of with a big dog. The clippers work well on her . . . . tho man! does it ever get all over the house!! (NOT the clippers fault!!)

I bought a medium for my friend that has a large pawed Golden and she says that it works fine. Depends on how big your Shepherd's paws are. Never seeing anything larger that a medium plunger I can't really say for sure. If if is too big the soft bristles will not get into the crevices of the dogs' paws.

I don't know which size would work best for your dog, but I would advise against planning to "cut to size". I have tried doing that and it was very hard and frustrating even using garden shears.

As far as I can tell, though I use them for a cat, these clippers are usable for all breeds and all sizes.

I don't know. They work okay on a golden retriever. The clippers struggle some and gets hot but does an adequate job. You need to take your time with these but they do a somewhat decent job. For what little I use them they are just fine for my needs. Consider a higher grade clipper if you are planning on using them more frequently.

I haven't used them for that yet but these scissors are amazing! I would bet they do!
