Andis Professional Animal Detachable Blade Clipper Kit, 7 Pieces

Every summer I dread stripping my Goldie/Chow mix dog. He has a huge double coat that defies cutting. I even bought a set of sheep shears at the local feed store that wouldn't do the job. This Andis clipper is wonderful...cuts well, stays cool with the ceramic blade and has a very heavy duty cord.

Quiet and powerful! I have a rescue German Shepard/Border Collie mix. Her coat is so thick and coarse, it takes 15 minutes just to get her coat wet to bathe. Of course, in the summer, hair just falls off as she walks, although I use a furminator on her frequently. I hesitated trying to clip her because she is petrified of storms, hates big truck sounds, motorcycles, and lawn mowers, having lived her first year of life on the streets. However, after reading the reviews about this one, I decided to try. Not only does it give a great cut on such long hair, it is quiet enough that she stood still for me, walked away a couple of times to take a break, but came right back for more. She actually enjoyed it, not to mention the improvement of fallen hair on my floors. Now her coat is short and much more comfortable for her in the sun. The different sizes of attachments enable you to choose the length. The ceramic blade is wonderful. I wish I had done this years ago.
