What makes pet clippers different from human hair clippers? I have a cheap Conair that works on me but it won't work on the cat... at all, not even a little. :o)

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. &#128512;

I'm not sure I can answer this correctly but these are much bigger and more heavy duty compared to human hair clippers. The teeth on your clipper may be too small and the hair gets balled up in the teeth. I have an Airedale, they have a wiry hair coat and the hair is pretty heavy. These work great on him. Clipping a cat...wow....

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!!

Sorry, I have no idea. I can tell you that the clippers work great for me and my four dogs all with different hair types.

I think they make several models for cats- one kind for long hair and one for short, and they also make smaller and larger ones for different sizes of cats. If you didn't want to buy two, I would suggest just getting one for your long haired cat- that's probably the one that sheds the most anyway. You probably wouldn't want to use the long hair tool on the short haired cat, as the tines may be too long and irritate her skin. If you got the short haired one, it might not go deep enough on the long haired cat to be effective since the hair that it removes is the undercoat.

I'm not an expert here, but the "clips" are wider than for humans. It's not as "quiet" as they said and that was very upsetting for me. I bought it especially for our cats because comments said it was quiet, but they were upset with the noise. It did get stuck once on our Tortie's fur. I wouldn't advice it at all to use on a human. Maybe someone with more experience might be able to answer better than I did.

YES. This was recommended by the Vet. And, I've had great success with it. Scissors are dangerous on cats as their skin is so thin - you can accidentally pull and cut skin without realizing. This kit is great. It has several sized 'combs' so that you can manage the length of hair you remove on your cat. I use this on my long hair cat who gets terrible mats. Surprisingly the cat does not mind the vibrations of the clipper at all and is obviously more comfortable once the mats are removed. MUCH safer than scissors!

I have a mixed breed cat, who has the thickest, finest hair that mats horribly, (she's not the kind of cat to get brushed either.... and shave her every year. this beast, (the clipper) takes it off like butter. it's relatively quiet compared to others i've used. I would say YES

This worked on our Persian cat. Very long, long thick hair. Huge hair. Blows people's minds when they seem him. The horse clippers we used couldn't cut through the hair. These do. But, if you have a lot of cutting to do (as we did; he's a barn cat and every summer we have to shave him to get rid of the tangles) you will want to do it in a couple of sessions. All clippers get hot with use. These are simply better than most. They worked for Fluffy.

i use these nail clippers for my cats and the clippers are wonderful. I have been told that for a dog you have to be more careful in cutting the nails because if you do cut the nails too short they can bleed and you would not want to do that. My best advise to you is to speak to your veterinarian about how short you should cut your dog's nails.

I just received mine today. And, I had asked the same question because I have short haired lab/beagle mix. I compared the short hair cat Furminator to the short hair dog Fuminator. The dimensions were exactly the same, but for some reason the cat model was cheaper, so I took a chance. I was afraid to get the long hair version because the blades are wider and I didn't want to risk the blade getting to close to her skin. Anyway, I tried it immediately and am very happy! It works perfectly!

Both of my cats are bengals, so they have short hair. The friend who originally recommended this has a medium-haired kitty and it definitely worked on his too. Don't know about long hair.

I used it on my cat when i had to shave her leg when she hurt it. dogs should be easy since they generally have coarser hair. it will scare them a little because it is not the quietest tool around but once they see it does not hurt, they calm down... at least my cat learned to ignore it. turn it on away from them because it makes a crack sound when it turns on.

As I've said, I've been using it on the Paw hair of my Golden and it really works well. Prior to buying this I was using an old Wahl hair trimmer (for human hair) and it wasn't cutting so I replaced the trimmer head and it still didn't cut. With the Pet Pro and the larger trimmer head it goes through the paw hair nicely. I can't imagine that it wouldn't cut the cat hair equally well. Also it has an amazingly solid feel to it.

I have a very furry cat, this groomer did not work on Buster at all, he didn't care for the rubber texture. Then I tried it to clean some cat hair off furniture and that does not work either. Sorry

Never used on a cat. Use on our miniature schnauzer but don't think it would work well on matted hair. Would use scissors for that. It is very quiet and not a lot of vibration.

I don't think so... I had an older model of clippers as well and it didnt work for them!

I would assume that would work wonderfully well- considering our Persian cat has fur that is the finest I have ever seen - wispy type of fur. The clippers have worked well on our border collie/St. Bernard mix dog as well. Good luck!
