Is this rake ok size for a 10-12 pound dog.

The rake works well for our 80 pound Kuvasz. He has quite a double coat.I would think it would work well for a small dog with a thick or double coat. The rake seems to be very gentle on the dog.

Only if it has a thick coat. I have 2 German Shepherds but can only use it on one of them because of the thickness of the coats. You could scratch them easily otherwise. For a thick coated dog, it's wonderful!

Depends on your dog's coat. I have a lab and a german shepherd. While the lab has a double coat, it is not the correct brush for her. The german shepherd, has a longer double coat and it's perfect. I use it first and followup with a wider toothed comb to pick up the loose fur, then a run outside to let the rest of the fur fly. It would not be good for shorter coated dogs like a dalmatian or beagle.

It will be able to fit a pet that is 10lbs or less. It is a little small if you have a pet larger than 10lbs

I have a rough Jack Russell and he does fine with a 12 so dont think the 12 would work for a Cairn. Different fur altogether.

I lent my rake to my neighbor who has a German Shepard and she liked it so much that she ordered one of her own. It does a real good job of removing the undercoat from outside dogs when they start shedding. I have two Golden Retrievers and it works really well on my dogs also.I hope this helps.

No, I don't think that would work. The plastic - on the rake - just breaks in half. If the poop is frozen the rake just isn't strong enough to push it. If you live in a mild climate you might be fine. But I still recommend it. Once the rake breaks just go to the hardware store and buy a different one. This is the best dog poop picker upper ever.

In my opinion, this unit would not be suitable for a chihuahua mix at 10 lbs. It will be too large.

I don't think so. It works great for my 10 lb papillon, but for a big dog, I think you would need wooden or plastic steps. These are form.

We have austrilian puppy. Full grown, she will be a medium to large dog. I use the tool on her now and it works great.

Likely the rake would tangle in shag carpet. Basically it's a large pet pin brush with a long handle. Works great on regular pile carpets, though - removes an astounding amount of Collie hair every time I use it.

No, this training device is too large for a ten pound dog. I believe Petsafe makes a version for smaller dogs.

The rake is fairly rugged and rakes similar-sized stones in our driveway. The rake is mounted on a Koplin 3 point hydraulic so downward pressure is applied thereby preventing any bounce. Without downward pressure unsure if the rake would be heavy enough.

I use mine with two Shih Tzus - one 8 lbs and the other is 13 lbs. I think it would work for your 12lb dog. I just love mine! In fact, I'm headed out on with my pups in a few minutes!

My lab is 63 pounds and it cuts his nails. Can't say about the size of your dog though.

Yes it would be too big. Even if you cut excess plastic collar, the receiver would still be too clunky on so small a dog.

Ive a 75lb golden and the wider blade works great.. especially thru the burrs!

I have used it very successfully for under 10 lb Papillons. I'm sure it would work for larger breeds.

Yess they will fit almost any type of rake. Easy to make fit either low rider or conventinal rake. Hope this helps. Good luck
