will this work with a thick, long haired dog?

My Shepard has a thick coat, but medium hair. There's two different sets of contacts. I use the short, you may need the long. They're really easy to swap out.

Yes, my dog is a golden/black lab mix and has very thick hair, the shock definitely goes through the hair it's more of a vibration that it is like an electric current.

Not sure, our unit only lasted about 2 months then failed. so we are not using it.

The kit includes 2 "electrodes", one short, and the other long. The long one is supposed to be for long-haired dogs. However, the one I received didn't work at all.

Nice thought but actually Shirley I dont think this unit will be powerful enough for thick animal hair. Hope this helps

I would think it would work on any animal with hair. It's not very "deep", and thus far had done a great job!

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.

Yes it will. I have a chow and spaniel. She has both curly and straight. It took about 20 min.

Absolutely. I think the dog would love it. It should really help with tangles in a long haired dog. Perhaps even use it after a bath.

it did our dog. she had smooth hair and it could still go abit larger if needed. used on next dog with bushy hair couldn't go any bigger

If your dog has thick hair, the collar may need to be on snug so the probes are close to the skin so the collar will work

I have a large dog and this works wonders for him, but I don't think he has as much hair as a Pom. The long hair tool is about 4 inches across so it gets a large area per brush.

My dog's fur varies in length, so no, I bought the long haired one. I saw a picture of a German Shepard on amazon and the owner had purchased a long haired, so I thought that was similar to my dog's fur. It gets thicker and longer towards her hind legs. I will try to repost a picture with my review. I did brush my friends shorter hair dog with mine and it worked on her too.

No idea since I have no experience with cutting animal hair or how those types of shears are constructed. But I would imagine that it would work in the same principle where the longer and thicker the hair is the longer it would take to cut and how quickly it would dull the blade.

There are quite a few size comb guides that fit on the razor head. I don't know if they would work on the Newfie's thick fur, you might want to contact manufacturer direct. I used to have a Golden Retreiver & I did use the large size comb guide to thin out her fur.

I received two sets of contacts. One was approx 3/4 of an inch the other approx an inch, tip to tip. If your dog has a thick or long coat the longer ones should work. Our Shepard has long thick fur around the neck and it works for him, just keep it snug.

I think you may have a problem. The unit itself is a small box about 2" x about 1.5" with the spray nozzles sort of in the middle of the short end. They need free space to spray out. If your dog's hair is longer than that, and thick, you might have a problem. Alternatively, it does spray pretty powerfully, so perhaps the odor and the wet fur will be enough for your dog to detect it and respond accordingly. :-)

Yes---we have used it on our long haired Golden and a short haired lab and it worked equally well on both dogs.

I would say yes. I use it on my long haired lab and it is amazing. I had a long haired cat for 10 yrs and wish i had this when i had my cat

I think it should work, however you may want to ask a groomer first. I'm sure they would be able to help you answer your question.
