Can they be used to grooming dogs and if so do the work well?

I bought them for my beard and mustache - for which they work fine. They would probably work on dog fur, but I've never tried that.

I used these scissors on my Springer spaniel. They were delicate, sharp and effective.

I have never attempted to use any of the elements in this kit for dog grooming. This kit is meant more for vacuuming keyboards or other delicate electronic instruments where too much suction could prove damaging. However, if you look at the VM4BS500T, you will see the small, stainless steel VAC on the left with the turbo-brush attached to it and 3 other attachments. The second attachment from the right is small, and has blunted "teeth" on it to keep the more powerful vacuums from just sticking it to the floor, which they will do. Depending on the temperament of your animal, this attachment (which is part of various kits and comes with some vacuums) might prove useful with enough suction, as might the turbo-brush attachment itself if your dog isn't to frightened by the sound of the vacuum regardless of attachment and can get used to the fast brushing of the turbo-brush attachment. The smaller vacuums would probably not be very useful for this purpose, since those tiny paper bag filters fill up really fast, but the larger ones would probably do fine--again, if you dog isn't too frightened of the vacuum's noise. It would definitely be painless. But I can't see any of the attachments in the unit that is the subject of your inquiry being of much worth in picking up pet hair, on or off the animal, except from delicate equipment upon which a few hairs might fall.

I've never tried it but it very well could work. They are really good for cleaning.

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.

Well more than anything these machines are used for shaping up not really for shaving a whole head if you are looking for something like that u might want to try the Andis master clippers or even the whal seniors machines that are of great quality and are made for that type of job :) hope this helped

Yes they will fit. Be sure to follow the instruction. What most folks don't realize and it may be the instructions aren't as clear as they could be....you MUST place the comb over the top of the blade and PULL down until the comb is stretched onto the blade. It can be a tight fit but with use they will loosen up. Also, these combs work well on all types of dog hair, ie: fine or course.

They work well for removing areas of matted hair on my yorkie-poo. I have also used them on a couple of small rescue dogs and they worked great. I can't compare to the other products - but they are quiet enough that they didn't scare the rescues who were VERY timid. They are fast and easy to use. Hope that helps.

Well that sounds creepy!! they are sharp enough to comb threw the hair but not scratch your dog's skin.

i would assume so, they worked great on two different types of dog coats, they are very sharp so be careful.

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. �

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

Workable yes. Efficient yes. I cut my sons hair with them and he had long hair cause we couldn't take him to the barber and it went right through his thick long hair no problem.

Sorry, I'm not a groomer. Just my own pets. Hope someone else gives you an answer.

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 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

Yes. I have used them a couple of times on my Golden Retriever when her hair got matted after playing in the snow. They work great.

Yes, most definitely. I have Oster and Andis clippers. Also nice to wipe down scissors with. I have a dog boarding kennel and groom; and I've used this product for years. They also have a spray that is excellent.
