I have a toy poodle-will the blade work without nicking or burning his face? Will it also work on clipping feet?

This is perfect for feet and faces! When the blade becomes dull it will nick. Its doesn't get hot enough to burn. I am a full time groomer and use it dailey.

I have a Standard Poodle that hates to have his feet clipped. I struggled with regular size clippers for year before I purchased the MiniArco. I love it! It hasn't changed the fact that he still hates to have his feet clipped but it's much easier to do the job. I also use it on his face. I find that the blade doesn't get as hot as regular clipper blades. So far, I've not had any nicking or burning. Good luck with your Toy!

Yes - We have had great results with the blades we purchased fitting on our Andis clipper!We use it several times a year to cut our Labradoodles fur. We are super happy with the items.!

Yes it will if you can get under it close to the skin with no guard you can shear you dog like a sheep ! It's not a very pretty hair cut but at that point if he or she is matted badly you don't have a choice !

Yes, the blade that comes on it is PERFECT for a crested. I used it to shave the face of a crested, along with odd body hairs last week. It was spectacular. As with any blade, make sure you skim the hair in short strokes. Cresteds tend to get sores easily with irritation, so do it easy. But you wont regret it. Best purchase ive made. Best of luck!

I think it would work good for that dog. The dog I cut was an English Spaniel and has fur like a sheep and I was pleased with the 2 speeds of this clipper

It seems like the clippers get hot very quickly. I have a standard poodle and I can't even get the face and feet done without stopping.

I believe you can get combs that would fit, as this clipper uses standard andis and oster blades. I believe the clipper just came with one "10" blade, which is the kind that shaves the dog. I never have any luck with plastic combs...I use several other numbered blades to get the hair length I want. It probably depends on the type of dog hair as to whether a comb attachment will work well or not. Those don't work on my Standard Poodles. Hope this helps.

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.

The blade is 1 1/2 wide. I use it for my toy and mini poodles and it works well on the face. It is QUIET and can be used corded or not. Excellent clipper!

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 am thinking, "No". I have some other clippers, and I popped it off to look. This clipper head has a rectangular sheath on the back side that slips down over a square metal piece. The ways that the two clippers transfer the motion to move the blades is different. I don't know if this is specific to pet clippers, but this blade is incompatible with all my Wahls. The Wahl blades tend to have a metal tab that fits in a slot at the bottom of the clipper head and they snap into place. The Andis clipper has a protruding rectangular tab attached to it (about the size of a squared off end of a butter knife), and the blade has the slotted sheath on the other side of those two screws that slides down around it to snap in place. (I'd also say that, even with the added cost of a new pair of pet clippers you can easily get 20x the price back over a 5 year period if you have several pets and do it yourself every 3 months. We've love this blade because its impossible to even nick our ragdoll cats with this... even when we get to the elastic areas by the legs, thighs and genitals. No guard is required.)

On the mini Arco, the blade is not adjustable. But it's narrower and, even though I'm grooming a 55 lb std Poodle, I find the mini gets into the nooks and crannies of his face and feet better, making less noise to boot. I use both the regular size and the mini and like having both available.

I have Dobermans and I use these clippers to clean up whiskers, ears, flank area, legs and hock area prior to being shown. I do not and have never used the comb attachments. I really have no idea how these clippers would work with a poodle... sorry.

All that I have found for it are 30 blades. I thought I had a 40 once but recently all I can find is the 30. Great little clipper for faces and feet for my toy poodles.

Hello Kelly P - I'm not a professional groomer, just a home groomer, so I'll try to answer as best I can. Sounds like your blade may need sharpening, or oiling, which needs to be done frequently while clipping. Also, make sure her hair is freshly washed, dried & combed. I love this Wahl Motion Lithium Clipper because it is quiet, and doesn't get hot. And it works very well on my two miniature girls' faces. In about one hour, I plan to start my February clipping session on them, and it will be only the second time I've used the Wahl on them, as I bought it only last month. I think Wahl has a very friendly return policy, so check it out. I recommend this clipper highly.

I have ordered the Andis 10 Cat ultra edge blade from Amazon. I plan to use on my long hair cat, she has a matt on her hind quarters close to the skin. Not safe to cut with scissors. Although the dog blade may work, there must be a reason they make a cat blade.

I use it on my golden. It is the best clipper I have found. It is easy being cordless. It is strong enough to cut through the fur though it does take a while with all the layers. My Golden loves it and feels so much better when she is shaved.
