I have a larger labrador mix with very thick fur. Does this clipper hold up well against thick or coarse coats?

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.

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.

Yes! It works fantastic with long haired dogs or dogs with a thick undercoat.

I have a boarder collie that has thick long hair, I bought this clipper because I saw how good it was on horses, it lived up to the billing. It cuts right through the dogs hair easily. The clippers can get a little hot but take a break and spray the blades down with Kool Lube.

I'm not sure. To be honest, I don't think this clipper is a heavy duty one. I have a small shih tzu. She has a lot of hair, but it's really silky and smooth. So I've used this clipper only once. During haircut, it worked fine at first, then it overheated. So I had to turn it off, let it cool off a little bit. Then I resumed. One month later, I left it to charge for 24 hours (according to instruction) to use it again, it didn't turn on! No signs of life! So for me, this clipper went straight to the trash can after 1 use. I wouldn't recommend buying it.

Okay, so it's been a while since I shaved my Labradoodle, I got the clippers and run them. They do seem to get hot. I have to take breaks because she's so big. The box says cool running. The lower speed doesn't get as hot as fast of coarse. I've only had one other clipper I don't remember if they got hot. Hope this helps.

i have used just regular clippers for our Golden Lab but did not have the attachment for sucking up hair attached since there is so much hair, any clipper with guards works great for pets.

I think the double row is MUCH better than the single for dogs with thick and/or long fur; short hair no so much. I was combing my Shepherd last night with this comb/rake, and the hair was kept coming off and coming off. It works great, and am so happy I bought it. Good Luck!

Definitely get the large one. I used it on my labs with thick hair for water retrieving and it works great. You won't be disappointed...

I have a German shepherd also with a thick coat. The material is similar to what tents are made of...its thick enough to be durable but not so thick that it makes the dog too hot

My dog is a lab & golden mix & she has a very dense coat. The skip tooth #5 did a much better job than the #10 Oster cryogenX that came with my Oster A5 clipper.

Our dog is a Australian Cattle Dog mix he does have a thick coat but not as thick as a husky and we have never had a problem with the collar. Good luck!

Dear Kat,You might need a bit stronger one for a super thick coat. For my Pom it works fine, the handle moves slightly ,but doesn't get in the way.

No this clipper is not good for thick hair at all .....you need a big high speed one, well not big but with more power.

I have a 60lb Husky, the double for me. If your dog has an undercoat then double for sure. I have a deeper comb and I don't use it, I use this instead, and the slicker brush.

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.
