| Clippers Can you recommend a good clipper that isn't outrageouly priced (I would like to stick in the $150 range if possible or less) Teddy's coat is very very thick, he is half maltese. I want one that will be able to handle his coat and not over-heat so I can groom him in one sitting. What do you recommend? Thanks for the response!! |

| I like my Oster Golden A-5 two speed slipper. It is around $125.00 and comes with a #10 blade. I got mine from Ryans Pet Supply. |

| I'm purchasing the Oster A5 clipper this week! I checked Ryan's and it's $139 and comes with a free blade. Petedge has it for $144 and it comes with a free finisher trimmer. I'm going with Petedge because I was going to buy the trimmer anyway and that saves me $45!

The free blades you get with the other one are 7f and 15, I don't know if those are essential to have or not?

I know I need the different size combs, but I don't think I need the different blades I mentioned above.

| Another question!! Sorry! What do you use the finisher for? Would I use this for trimming around the pads of his feet? Or only to trim ears - Teddy's ears have long hair -like a maltese so I wouldn't do that. I'm trying to decide if I need the finisher b/c Drs. Foster Smith has the A5 for $120 w/out finisher but free shipping, and PetEdge has it for $159 including shipping with the finisher. I'm so unsure of what I need, but I already trim Teddy's face myself even when he gets groomed so it just makes sense to start grooming him myself |

| I ordered them and they seem to work pretty well, but I only use it once and didn't do too much b/c Teddy was nervous. I kept stopping and giving small treats; he eventually calmed down and was pretty good. I recommend getting the set of combs - I think it is around $15 - I only got a 1 inch and 3/4 inch, but I wish I had some shorter/longer ones too! |
