Best Dog Groomers Boston (Jan 2023 Update)

We have not had this trimmer not even a year only used a few times to remove mats on the cat. Seemed to work well until this weekend and it is already dead. We charged the battery until the green light illuminated tried to turn on the clippers and they just will not work. Not worth the price that they want for it and no warranty is even worse. You are better off buying electric clippers or a company known for good pet grooming products. Unfortunately, Bell Howell is not it!dladdis

My dog needed a small trim. She’s a short hair chihuahua. A professional grooming wasn’t needed. After pricing trimmers, I saw this one at BB&B. I read reviews, and for the price, decided it was worth a try. So happy I did! Was quiet enough not to scare my dog, which I was concerned about. Took reviewers advice on introducing trimmer and she let me trim her a few times (a little at a time). Her trim looks and feels great!Marti

I have only used this trimmer once since receiving it and I am happy with my first time results. I have a long hair cat and got a really nice trim using the 9 mm comb. The trimmer is quiet and lightweight. I love that it is cordless and rechargable as it offers the ease and maneuverability that corded trimmers do not. My cat has black fur so the led light is very helpful for ensuring I get an even trim. Overall, I am happy with this trimmer and will continue to use it for my cat's grooming needs.Ctmom1

Bought this about a month ago trying to plan ahead for the cold weather and shedding. Decided to try it out when I got it even though it didn't really seem necessary. The amount of loose hair and dead, dry skin it loosened up was AMAZING! And this is on my horse who I groom everyday! My mare really loves it over her lower back and hindquarters. She happily stands there while I groom her. Added bonus was that she feels extra soft after I use it. It also works well post-ride on the sweaty spots – separates the hair out so that it can dry faster. Count me in as a huge fan! Now I want one for my dogs. 🙂Breeze

This tool works super well on my short coat pittie, 2 short hair cats and 2 medium hair cats. The dog loves it and will stand until I'm finished. The cats tolerate it, which is more than I can say for the wire brush I have used previously. My only issue is that the tool works best outdoors since it removes hair/fur, but it doesn't contain it the way a brush does.Chris K

Easy to hold and use. Horses don't mind it. I bought a shedder tool a couple of years ago that was the "in" tool at the time, and every time I use it, the horses cringe and try to get away from it. No problem with this tool, and it holds the hair so that I can grab it off and contain it before it flies away.Gail

First I must let potential buyers know that this does not come with a rechargeable USB as indicated in the description. You must buy AA batteries. However, it feels very comfortable in hand, and the cap doesn't unexpectedly fall off during use. I love the red paw print button design and how this device is big enough for a better grip during use. I see NO use for the automated light though. It's not as a flashlight that scatters around the object; it's more of a straight forward line. I feel like it gets in the way sometimes during natural daylight hours to where there's a shadow towards my pup's nail. I do not understand why someone decided to put it there. However, I am still satisfied with this purchase. It's good enough for me to use weekly.MoneRo

Stella hates it. I've tried every video out there. Stella is the most gentle bitch. She failed at being a momma twice. She loves people, not her pups. I adopted her because the other pit cross was abusive. I was lucky. I lost my pit mix, I showed my heart break on FB. 2 days later, I had another life partner.Jeff Tobey

LOVE IT! We have two Cavaliers with small nails and two Setters with large nails. Worked beautifully on all! Although not noisy at all, the motor running was still a sound the dogs were unfamiliar with so I let it run while giving them some favorite treats. After a couple times of that, they ignored it with the exception of one of our Setters who's skittish about ALL noises so not surprised by her reaction. Took a couple minutes for me to get used to the feel of using it and the dogs too, but then I was able to finish eat dog quickly and easily! Even our super skittish Setter settled down by the third paw which gives me hope that eventually trimming her nails might not be the battle it's been with regular clippers. The light cannot be rotated to line up with the various holes sizes which was a little disappointing but it's bright enough to shine thru the nail and "double check" how close you're getting to the quick. I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to their next nail trim!!Dog Lover

This is a definite must buy! I got this for a gift from my brothers standard poodle who takes out to run all the time and play, well it just happened that one day Kole went through a bush of burs and had them stuck all through him and the only way 5o get them off was to shave him because it was so bad. I used these clippers and they are so quiet and just slid right through his fur and some matts he had due to the thickness of his fur with no problem at all. I am now buying a 2nd set for my pups that have long hair.Jessica

I have gotten 2 seperate sets of these. the first one didnt cut hair at all it just ripped the fur out. i even tried it on myself and it ripped the hair out rather than cutting it. the second pair wouldnt cut with a guard on so when the guard was removed it was cutting fine but grabbed and tore my dogs skin open. whal is a great company but they definitely missed the mark with this onewilliam

To start off, these clippers are very noisy. The on/off switch is stiff and sometimes when I turn it on, it makes a loud noise and shutts off. For some reason the different comb lengths are difficult to get on and off. They cut some of my dog's fur and sone it does not cut. They got caught in a matt and would not cut through it. I had to grab scissors and cut through the matt. They also get hot fast. I followed the manufacturers insteuctions very closely. I should return them but because I have used them I will keep them but I will be going to another store and purchase Andis which seems to be the choice of most groomers. I do not recommend.Gramma

Great size and easy to handle. Love that it is cordless and the perfect size for cleaning up paws and faces. The face that it is battery powered kinda stinks. Wish it was rechargeable. A little noisy too if you pet is sensitive to sounds.Brandie

Works great for small areas and clean up! I use it in between grooming for my dog to keep his hair neat and trimmed. Great for paws, face, and other sensitive areas and it allows me to go longer between haircuts to save money.Laura

This product is OK. It isn’t heavy and it is fairly quiet which I like. The dog and cat aren’t fans of it but that is to be expected. This is a good size especially if you’re limited on space or traveling, etc.Kaitlynn

This brush is what I needed for our long-haired, giant breed dog. There is a bent side you use first and a straight side you use to finish off the coat. This is new to me, but worked perfectly. I do not like that this brush doesn't have a self-cleaning option, it certainly takes getting used to and I would definitely prefer it if this had a self-cleaning button. After the dog was shampooed and completely dried, I gently used this as per the instructions and removed a ton of loose hair. The dog slept though it, so I will happily brush her more often to stop any mats before they start to form and to keep all of that extra fluff off of my floors. It even brushed right through her tail smoothly. I would probably not buy this again, because although it worked well on her coat and I really like the double sided options for brushing, I prefer a self-cleaning button instead of digging the hairs out of the brush with my hands.PinkTulips

My cats loved it. Especially during the change of seasons and the thickness of their coats changing. I can genuinely say it helped my relationships with them. They trusted me more. My only complaint , is the cover that comes with it. It doesnt snap on. You just slide it on. But theres no click or sound of it being on there securely. Just sorta loose. And stepping on that thing hurts! But my cats love it so i do ihan.n

Pros: Leaves coat soft and shiny, Gentile but Firm, Removes Excess Hair, Doesn't Pull Cons: Difficult to clean I use this brush on my Great Pyrenees after the FURminator Rake to brush out excess hair and it leaves his coat looking great. It doesn't pull, so he doesn't run away when it's time to groom anymore! I also use this brush on my cats, as it works to de-shed their coats as well. The only complaint I have about this brush is that it is difficult to clean. There are other FURminator products that have a feature that pushes the hair out, but this one is missing that. The case that comes with it doesn't have any attaching mechanism so it falls off, rendering it pretty useless, but it's not really necessary anyway. Overall, this is a good product and a very good value. I would recommend to any pet parent, but especially those with long and/or coarse haired dogs.ldhtclothing

We have a cane corso that sheds quite heavy, and it normally takes 30 minutes to comb her with a furminator. I was very skeptical when I ordered this, but after trying it today I’m very happy I bought it. I was done in less than 5 min and the dog seemed to love it too. It has two sizes of teeth, so you can use the bigger side for the larger areas (back, sides etc) and the finer side on the bottom part of the legs, belly, and chest area.iHerb Customer

I was really suprised how well this worked. Nothing like this sold in Australia that I have seen, not around here anyway. My fluffy dog has a really thick undercoat and this did a massive job at helping to dislodge all the tufts she had.iHerb Customer

While this looks like a old school concept. This is great. Really helps with that summer shed. It does not Hurt my dogs skin either as crazy as it looks. This digs deep and gets a lot of the undercoat. I would purchase again it something happened to my brush now. After ten minutes of brushing there is a bag of hairlaura.h

It’s very close in style and function to the Remington all in one grooming set, but there is an unfortunate difference. First, it may be more powerful than the Remington, but the blade is almost too sharp, as I nearly cut myself at least three times. Second and more importantly, it is a struggle to remove the beard combs from the initial blade without taking off that blade at the same time. I found that I had to hold the trimmer in place to be able to take the comb off. These attachments are too secure and they shouldn’t be. I bought the Wahl unit to replace my broken down Remington, which had lasted for more than two years, thinking that it might be better. In this case I was wrong. For your safety, go with the Remington.Matt

Had to replace my Other beard trimmer as it started to malfunction. I have a Wahl Hair Clipper set which is great. This trimmer however is the worst I have ever used. The attachments are poorly designed and lead to poor trimming. The blade itself has a hard time trimming a single wild hair from my beard or mustache. The motor bogs down very quickly and I have to oil it several times during a single grooming session after a full nights charge. I wish I would have kept the packaging so I could return it. I now need to buy another trimmer as this is unacceptable and irritating to use.Nicholas

DO NOT BUY. I recently decided to "upgrade" from my Gillette All-Purpose Styler after having it for 2 years. Was very excited to move try out this Trimmer (especially since it came with a charger and was eco-friendly – i.e. I didn't have to keep buying batteries). Having any kind of good expectations for this trimmer was my first mistake… Do yourself a favor and just never buy this product… First of all – it's cheap. It FEELS cheap. I spent $20 for the Gillette trimmer and thought THAT was cheap. Paying $30+ for this product is RIDICULOUS. ***NOTE: I know this product is now on sale and is going for a cheaper price. If it were me, I wouldn't pay $5 for this crap. Don't waste your time. Second – This product LITERALLY falls apart. I would go to trim my beard, shave my face, etc. and the top would just pop right off. When you go to switch heads (i.e. from trimmer to buzzer to any of the other 5 faces this trimmer has, it would loosen the top. So guess what? Next time you shave that sucker is coming right off immediately and you have to hold the top down. Just ridiculous and poor quality. Third – THE BATTERY LIFE SUCKS. Again, was pumped to move from a battery-requiring trimmer to a rechargeable trimmer. Boy was I wrong… I would charge this trimmer for hours, even DAYS… The longest this trimmer has EVER lasted me was 20 minutes max. It would average 5-10 minutes. Not even kidding I got halfway through a shave and it died (again… takes hours to charge) so I was left with half of a beard. Had to use my wife's razor and straight shave the rest of my face. Will never forget that. Coming full circle – just save yourself the pain and regret and buy Gillette. OR – pay for a nicer brand. Whatever you do – don't buy Wahl. This was the first and last Wahl experience I will ever have. Good luck all!Josh

Out of the box, the vacuum was great. Sucked up everything. Within a month, it was basically a glorified hand vacuum. The only way I can get it to do anything is to use remove the hose and the attachments. The actual suction when using it upright is terrible. It vibrates like a dolphining F1 race car, makes a hideous popping and hissing sound from the side, and worst of all, leaves fuzz, dirt , and giant hard balls of lint all over my floors rather than actually cleaning them. Using this vacuum is more work than simply using a broom and a hand held dirt Devil. Customer service was helpful in trying to fix the issues but the suggested solve didn't work. The vacuum is a lemon…complete waste of the time and money spent.Card Lady

It does quality performing for pet hair to include the turbo extension tool for upholstery. DO READ ALL the instructions so you know how to properly use it. Don't assume! The tools are ill placed with the placement and storage of the electrical cord (always falling off). The telescope for the hose to attachments doesn't lock properly and always ALWAYS pushing back in. I don't have an issue with pet hair on the roller getting stuck, but I do with human hair and any amount of length to trash. The spot where the hose connects to the canister is constantly getting clogged because it is small and narrow, needs to be wider. Pay CLOSE attention when taking the filter out of the canister and putting it back; there is a reason it is meticulously marked. The alignment must be perfect or it won't go back together properly; this is the same for everything on the vacuum. Hard to push when vacuuming (hence one of the reasons I said to read instructions carefully)? You have to provide some air to release the amount of suction, so it moves easier with the little knob on the left; by the way, it moves also on its own.feltermail

Within 1 minute of its' first use this model #2475 Pet Hair Eraser Turbo had its' brush roll stop spinning before a small 10×10 foot area was complete. The belt assembly is centre mounted so debris from both sides of the brush roll collects towards its' centralized belt motor which sits open with nothing to protect it from debris. This results in it being the furthest thing from the "tangle free" unit it is advertised as. Removal of the head screws holding the bottom cover in place is quite easy so I was able to see what was causing the jam (see picture attached). The manufacturer claims the unit can accept hair length of 4-8 inches. The longest of the hairs in this pictures is 3 inches, so the job in question should have been well within the manufacturer's guidelines. Upon reassembling the base the unit promptly got jammed a second time. After once again removing the clog I decided to give it a different task, cleaning hardwood. This unit has a key feature for those with hardwood floors, its' brush can turn on/off, saving your hardwood from being scratched by the roller. Sadly there is very little suction (see video attached). I found without the brush roll spinning the machine picks up essentially nothing. The last major feature this unit is its' heavily marked "pet hair eraser" attachments. The Pet Turbo Eraser" is nothing more than the same "turbo brush" or "handi-mate" that has been commonplace on vacuum's since the 1950's. The "two in one" pet brush is a traditional fabric brush as is the crevice tool. There is nothing fundamentally different with these attachments than what is industry standard from most vacuum suppliers. I've had Bissell units before, the last being the significantly cheaper "Clearview Alergen Lift-Off Pet Upright Vaccuum." It lasted 2 years before dying a few weeks after its warranty expired precipitating the purchase of this Turbo model. All in all a poor vacuum. Don't buy this.Jimmy

I am a 75 year old woman and I have trouble raising my arms to groom my hair between cuts. My hair is short and layer cut – almost as short as a man. This worked really well. I was impressed with how it worked to help keep my hair neat and trimmed! The fact that it extends was helpful in getting the back of my hair.me-me

I am a woman who had been going to a barber since 2019, as I wear my hair extremely short, funky, shaved. Unfortunately then there was the coronavirus, so I did not get my hair done for 15 months! Now we have the Delta variant, so I contacted my barber that I was going to put off getting my hair cut for a while. Needless to say, I could tell he was not happy. He did not return my text, which was unprofessional!! I knew I had to do something, so I purchased the Titanium Trimmer; received it yesterday and the batteries were included; and I just used it and it was fabulous! I did it entirely solo! Very easy to use! Very easy cleaning! My hair looks great! So I will no longer get my hair professionally done ever again! I 100% recommend the trimmer!SEXXYLYPPS

My puppy definitely looks and feels cleaner after a bath with this shampoo. I have ALWAYS loved burts bees. I’ve always loved the brand and it’s affordable price. It’s truthfully the most natural drug store product you can put on your skin. The same goes for dogs. I read in a lot of reviews that people were disappointed that there was no fragrance to the shampoo. Some look for that to neutralize odor. That’s actually not what you would want. If you want them to smell nice, purchase a cologne for your dog. The fragrances can be very harsh to the skin depending on what it is. My new puppy has had the worst skin issues since we got him and this was so gentle and relieving to my baby. I gave him an coconut oil bath along with this and it softened his skin and coat. Can’t say enough good things.jassu.d

Got this for my poodle puppy. If you want the wet dog smell after a bath… this is the perfect shampoo. It is tear free which is good but she never smells clean after a bath. It came highly recommended but I will certainly never buy it again. I give her a bath to get rid of the wet dog smell but this shampoo doesn't lather very much so hard to tell where the shampoo is unless you use a ton of shampoo. Looking for a new shampoo…Nicole

Good !!! We have a German Shepherd puppy and wanted to get her used to baths. Since I trust Burt Bee's products for my own face body, I trust this puppy shampoo. It doesn't smell like anything which is absolutely important since dogs' noses are so sensitive. What smells pleasant to us must burn their eyes at times, so I never use scented anything on her. This puppy shampoo lathers easily and rinses easily. Afterward her fur was nice fluffy.liaxnet.r

This was a great shampoo for my chihuahua. She has a skin condition and is constantly itching herself. I feel that it’s very gentle and doesn’t cause any buildup or irritation. I’ve been using this product for 5 months now and probably won’t switch up shampoos for her. The smell is so nice! It doesn’t have a strong odor and her reaction to it is pleasant. The bottle is a good size and the price is a little up there. I don’t mind spending more for a food product though. I would recommend this to all dog lovers with little pups.venus.i

This is a very good company and they have good products for humans and pets. My dog, unfortunately, happens to have very dry sensitive itchy skin. Especially during flea season. Just one flea bite and it's off to the races. She has severe "flea bites venom" allergy. So flea season I have to be hyper vigilant with everything from yard, home, pet flea and tick treatment, and grooming. I purchased this one day because I know that oatmeal is very soothing to itchy dry skin. I have used regular oatmeal as a paste and as a bath/rinse with very good results. This shampoo smells good, it was a little higher priced but I was OK as long as the results were equal to the price point. Sadly, I was not impressed. In this case it was the name brand reputation was bigger than the results. while it did clean her fur thoroughly and nicely , she was scratching a lot within the first few hours after her bath. And she was properly rinsed. I spend triple the time rinsing.  I put her back in the shower and rinsed her with the homemade oatmeal bath that I use. Regular old-school oatmeal, mixed with water, and just use it as a soak/rinse. I also put in a few drops of high-quality Teatree oil, the mother of apple cider vinegar, and a cup of chamomile tea. that's my homemade treatment for itchy sensitive skin this shampoo, for the price, did not meet my expectations. I have gotten similar if not better results from shampoos that were 1 to 5 dollars a bottle. Keep in mind this is just my opinion and my results on my dog. If you are using it for a regular shampoo and not expecting treatment for itchy red skin, I believe you will be satisfied. fran.c

This is a great natural dog shampoo that i use on my dog regularly. I used to use a lot of product, like a quarter of the bottle every time I bathed my fur baby. I was told from my groomers to create a foam with some water and soap in a bottle and it makes the product lather better and uses so much less! My fur baby suffers from itchy skin and this shampoo seems to temporarily relieve that! I enjoy using this on my dog! This shampoo did not disappoint and I am happy with the results Im getting. I also like that Burt Bees doesn't have toxic chemicals in they're products which is what lead me to this purchase. I can often find it at Marshalls for a good price. It’s a bit pricey at the pet stores but not outrageously so. But so worth the money in my opinion.megan.w

Really good brush that my dog actually enjoys! Other brushes seem to “hurt” her or make her uncomfortable, but when I use the furminator, she doesn’t want you to stop brushing her! LOL I also really like the button that releases the hairs making it quick and easy to clean the brush and continue brushing her or store for the next time. As far as the brush itself, it DEF brushes her and gets rid of her winter coat- she’s a pit mix and I’m always amazed at the amount of hair that comes off the brush! Def helps keep shedding to a minimum- last thing you want to to pet your dog and have a hand full of hair! So far, have had this for 3+ years now and it’s still going strong and works just as well. It is a little pricey in comparison to other brushes on the market but it’s high quality, durable and something my pup actually enjoys so to me it’s worth it! Highly recommend.phoebe.c

I brought my dog to my neighbors house recently and she recommended this and even let me try hers out on my girl. I have a beagle-border collie mix and her hair is about an inch or so when I trim her. It works so well, she’s got this crazy undercoat that just never ends no matter how often I brush her with regular plastic bristle brushes. With this, it ONLY pulls out the undercoat and that is what we need, badly. After one session, she looked like she had lost a few pounds. The shedding while petting has decreased dramatically. You do have to be gentle with it and try not to do multiple passes in the same area because it’s metal head can irritate. I remedy this by brushing her every other day to give her skin a break. She doesn’t love it while it’s happening like she does with a regular brush, but I think she’s feeling much cooler without the buildup of undercoat! This brush makes it possible to trim her now without the clippers getting jammed with undercoat fluff. Best investment!emily.c

I have labradors with super thick coats. In spring and fall they start to look like crap as their coats start changing for the season. My sister-in-law is a groomer and recommended this tool. We purchased it and have been using for a few years now. It was pricy for a comb but we went with it anyway. Once a week we brush our dogs and find that it really works to removes excess fur. We see a huge difference in their appearance and shed ratio. I don’t find clumps of fur all over everything and my dogs look sleek and shiny. The tool itself is sturdy, heavy, and quality, though it didn’t stop my dog from chewing it up so I recommend putting it away so you don’t have to purchase a replacement like I did. It’s been with the money and we’ve since purchased one for our cats too. Highly recommend.shara.m

I bought this online and i regret it. Bad quality. Very cheap items. Wire brush was all messed up upon arrival. Pink brush didn’t seem to work very well for my rabbit. Wooden chew toy was cute but my rabbit had no interest in it.stacy.s

I had bought this same item maybe 4 years ago for my other piggies I had owned. I’m so glad this is still an item sold in stores after so many years. It included everything you need without buying each item individual, so you save in that area as well.alyssakeala

I Bought the product and started using it then it made my guinea pigs hair start to fall out the brushes have some sort of chemical on them. Also they need bath supplies for bathing cause i had to buy this junk then go buy a bathing set witch cost a lot!!!! I don't recommend.!?!!!!<<<<>><<><Ihaveanadoribleguineapig5

Just bought myself an early Christmas present, the crosswave pro pet multi surface vac/mop. Really amazing how it cleans up, you see/feel/smell the difference instantly. I have health issues so sweeping/mopping is a challenge for me and i needed an easy option that worked. I have multiple cats and this is amazing with cat fur/dried up hairballs/cat litter etc, the fact that it separates all the icky stuff from the clean water makes the biggest difference…you will be in shock how much gets ckeaned up. Now this beautiful household tool needs care in between using it but i like the finished product so much i don't mind the clean up after and still easier then sweeping and mopping with way better results, plus i just put it up on my counter for easy access for the clean up. Tips: 1) don't use with a wet filter, always put a dry filter in. 2) get a baby tooth brush to get in small crevasse. 3) sweep out corners or hard to reach spots into where it can be vacuumed because this machine cant get to them. 4) i didn't get cordless because i don't want to deal with future batterie issues (not saying it happens but more likely then a cord) put top of cord on hook as you vacuum, easier to control cord dosen't get in your way. 5) clean spray holes if needed with paper clip. 6) make sure if you are dumping dirty water or cleaning off in the sink you have a drajn catcher because pet fur and gunk gets everywhere, you'll see as you are clean everything off and dumping water out, don'twant that going down your drain. 7) go slow when spraying the water, give wet vac mop a chance to do its thing. 8) make sure everything is dry b4 you put back together so no mold or smells start to happen. Like i mentioned, if you take care of this it will continue to take care of your floors and rugs. Ps: Not paid to write this, just a regular human. I paid for my crosswave and i really love it. Enjoy.Ddd

No love is as great as the first, as they say. I bought this last year but after taking it to a friends house and power washing and vacuuming their entire 2 bedroom apartment for 5 hours straight for 2 days in a row, i think i mightve found the breaking point of this product… Haha, so after it wouldnt turn on, i returned it. I ended up going through 3 other new vacuums and returned them all, only to repurchase this as the 5th one. As i mentioned in the previous review for the Bissell Proheat Duo Pet vacuum, this one here was the absolute perfect size for a 5'3 girl living in a small apt. Its great in smler spaces and even if the suction is not as powerful as the Proheat Duo vacuum, this one does a good enough job for the size and its ease of use cant be beat. Cleaning it is suuuuuuper easy, refilling the water is super easy, and all i gotta do is just press a maximum of 2 buttons. (Meanwhile the pro heat duo has me feeling like an airplane technician, after having to take out a bunch components to clean it which was NOT easy and having so many buttons!!!) Im a bit OCD with vacuuming my carpet all the time (every day) and im always very pleased with the carpet cleaning after i wash it. Overall its been the best model i have found for a Wet/Dry vacuum so i highly recommend if its for a 1 bedroom apt. My only gripes are that this is not easy to push!!! Also wish it could suction better when going BACKWARDS because it only suctions good moving forward but not if i pass over it backwards and if the suction would be stronger too. Otherwise, i love it!Carol

It was hard to pick out a brand, but I finally tried this one. Inexpensive at less than $100, and it cut my fluffy dog's fur really well without feeling like I was raking it through her fur or combing it with the blade. It's not super loud, but it's not whisper quiet. My dog wasn't bothered. Happy with my purchase. I'm not a professional groomer, so maybe there's better out there, but worked great for me!N.D.

I bought these clippers at Petco curbside pickup during the coronavirus quarantine. I have a silky terrier (most people think it's a yorkie) and he needed some "tidying up". I was really happy with the heft of the clipper and all the guards that came with it. After watching the included DVD, I bathed and dried my dog and clipped him. My dog is VERY used to being groomed but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Other seemingly similar clippers I researched were over twice the price. These clippers are meant for a dog with a fine to medium coat so I think if you buy them for that type of dog and follow the directions (and oil them as recommended) that you will be very happy with your purchase. They are made in Sterling, Illinois. You can even send the blade in for free sharpening.Friend of Max the Dog

I purchased these because I am unable to locate clippers for my dog. I did an extensive search and looked at many reviews from several sites. This was the only company that could send these within a week. They showed up in 5 days. I also pulled these from the package and was impressed by the sturdiness of the clippers and how they looked. They are not load and work right out of the box. I oiled them to make sure they would not have any problems as recommend. The video CD is very helpful for any dog. I have a miniature Schnauzer. He was very over grown and very shaggy. Lots of tangles and matting. These clippers cut through all that with no problem. Very smooth and quick cut and not a lot heat from the clippers to make my dog feel uncomfortable. I love these clippers and should have bought a set years ago with the ease of cutting my dog. I would recommend these for any light to medium coat dog.Matthew330

My active Doberman is recovering from a spinal injury and needs to be confined. This pen is perfect. The quality is top-notch, with plenty of clear and illustrated instructions that are really not even necessary as it's so simple to set up. My one and only quibble is that the box opened nearly the full length of the side during shipping. I think the packing tape gave way. All parts were intact and nothing was damaged so just FYI. I'm now going to buy another one of these for the back yard. I was going to transport this one in and out rather than spend the money since it's (I'm hoping) not a life-long need, but while it's so easy to fold and move, it is pretty heavyweight (42") so it'd be a bit of a chore for me to do often. She's never been a jumper, especially not now, and I don't leave her alone outside so I could easily go with a lower height that's less expensive and more portable (keep in the shade) for the yard.jacy

I like Midwest products as the metal seems to be stronger and last longer than other brands. I have the original ex-pen I bought around 1995 – it's survived 50+ large dogs. I prefer them to crates as the dogs have more room to move around, yet they are easily configured to a smaller shape when potty training. They easier to clean than crates. They fold flat and I can store them next to a fridge or behind a furnace. They work indoors/out and are great mobile containment. For dogs living in fenceless areas (condos) ex-pens can be linked using carabiners/bolt snaps (i.e., dog leash clips) for fencing moveable for mowing/snow removal. They are great for patio surrounds. You can buy metal tops for if a dog needs more containment, but most won't if using a tall enough ex-pen. I've also bought just the metal or plastic crate pans to put under the ex-pen if needed. To keep the ex-pen from falling or being moved if I have a rambunctious pup I bungee the corners to furniture or door knobs.HannahB

I ordered several of these to use as barriers to prevent my young Border Collie from running through the mud in our back yard after it rains. I set them up just off the patio several feet to allow him some space in the grass without giving him free reign of the whole yard to run through. They are very easy to set up, take down, and store! The quality is excellent – the panels are very sturdy, the clips are easy to use, and the pins to anchor them in the ground are a great length and weight. I could not be happier with this purchase! They are exactly what I needed and can easily be used for other containment configurations.J LaRue

While I love the original furminator for grooming and shed control, I find myself using this product more for a couple reasons. One, it brushes through my huskies thick double coats much easier than the other product and still pulls off some excess hair, but not as much. Which brings me to part two. I CANNOT use the original furminator inside my home or my wood floors would turn into a Husky carpet so I love that I can brush my dogs inside with this grooming rake and not have the pile up of hair in my living area. My two huskies prefer this brush as well. They sometimes try and walk away when I am using the yellow brush but they will let me brush them for days with the grey grooming brush.bri.b

Regardless if you have dogs or cats this take gets down deep into that under cost and gets all the dead and loss turnip and out. We had an Akita/husky mix with that thick undercoat… Omg.. when warm weather came she would blow out her fur like crazy. One good 30-45 minute grooming I would take out enuff fur to make a dozen small dogs. The pigeons and nice loved it for nesting material and Rsggie looked like she lost 20lbs.karen.a

Furminator’s rakes are a gift from up above. I have had so many different ones from cheap to expensive. Double take to single tape and they seem to go missing a lot? In all that trial and error none have even compared to how well this works. It goes through their undercoat so easy and grabs so much hair with every stroke it’s insane. Mine are great at being crushed, but like most Huskies have the patience of a 2 year old. So this allows me to finish where other combs had me chasing them around trying to finish. I have no complaints at all with this rake, buy it!stephanie.t

We used this product on our grand dog. He was a scaly, crusty mess and had lost most of his hair. We took him to the vet and put him a regimen of medicated shampoo, oral antibiotics and an immunomodulator. We used the Skin Soother immediately after his daily bath. We also have him the salmon treats daily. I believe this product helped him regain his health. His color came back and all the scales and itching were gone. So I bought another. Even though the regimen is over, we are still bathing him regularly and applying the Skin Soother. That was over a month ago and he continues to look better than ever! These are before and after pics of Ziggy!Amie B.

My pug had a dark bald spot on his neck from scratching and I was looking for something that would hopefully heal the area and let his hair grow back. I discovered the skin soother and decided to give it a try and this worked like magic! I ordered the 2 oz stick version and loved it. The application was great. It was very easy and clean to apply overall. I applied it to the area twice a day for two weeks before I was able to start seeing results. The hair started growing back and the dark skin was lightening up and becoming less dry and flaky. At the same time, my dog was scratching at it less so that was a plus. Only thing is this stick was practically gone by my second week. It would not have come close to lasting the month. That being said, I had to order another to see continued results but I ordered the larger tin instead. My only issue with this product is the tin is a lot harder to apply. The texture itself is not as soft and smooth as the stick. I also had to use my own hands to spread it on which I did not like at all. It also gets messy in the tin as my pug sheds so there is now hair stuck in the product. My recommendation to the company would be to have the stick in a larger option and I would gladly purchase that. However, currently I greatly regret purchasing two of the tins instead of the smaller sticks. All in all, this product works and I would buy it again! He is full healed and I am very happy with the results.Jessica B.

My 22 month old extremely active male yellow Lab, Gus, developed redness and a rash on his belly area while running him 5 miles every day in and around rice fields in Glenn County, located in the Sacramento Valley in Northern California. My long time outstanding veterinarian recommended using Dawn soap followed by alcohol swabbing and Benadryl. He also administered a steroid injection to relieve the itching. My daughter, Kati, recommended that I try Skin Soother, as she used the product on her small Terrier mix who suffers from allergies. She ordered the 2 oz. roll on for me as a surprise. Your product is amazing! Gus' redness and itching decreased significantly and he found significant relief. My veterinarian agreed that the product was great. I ordered two of the 4 oz. cans for him and apply it daily. Skin Soother is awesome! Gus and I highly recommend it!Gary H.

I rarely, if ever, write a negative review–but I often check the lowest reviews on something I'm not sure about. So for those of you who want to know the worst possible aspect of a potential purchase, be forewarned: I've body clipped my horse for years running, I've always used Oster blades on Andis clippers. I figured this year, I'd go for the Andis blades, since the T-84 offers a decent width and hair length. I bought two of these blades because I like to switch them out when they get warm, rather than spraying and waiting to cool every time. I was working on a pristinely clean horse with fine TB hair. Not much of a winter coat. The blades were okay for his neck and shoulder… but they absolutely choked on his legs. From there–it just got worse. About 1/3 of the way through, as another reviewer said, the first blade was shot; just leaving horrible haggard lines in his coat. I switched to the second T-84 blade, because I had left my blades from last year at home (blades that were still sharp enough to clip with, just not brand new, so I didn't take the chance). Well. The second blade finished the clip… sort of. By the end of the job I was using muscle power to get the blade to perform an action that even moderately resembled cutting. His coat looked like he'd been sheared with a butter knife. Every year I've clipped him he glistens and gleams a lovely dark bay, so shiny that people have to ask if I even clipped him. This year he looks horrific. His coat is dull, uneven, there are track marks, and I had to switch back to a two year old #10 Oster blade that I used for day to day cleanup and use often to finish his legs because it was STILL sharper than the Andis blades. I feel bad for my horse, but in a month or so, he will start growing in his new coat, and this will all be in the past as a lesson learned. Never again.aallegre

This #2 blade works perfectly with the OSTER 76076-010 CLASSIC 76 hair clipper. It takes 2 seconds to insert and2 seconds only to remove and pack away. The functionality is PERFECT for the Burr cut aka #2 cut.There's NO NEED for the Oster 10 PC Guide Comb Set, either, if the Burr cut aka #2 cut. is what you want as it does NOT require any comb. However, you may want the Comb Set for the oil, lube accessories down the road.Pork Chop

One of the best blades I have ever used. My dog is poodle/chihuahua mix. Mostly poodle hair. This blade cut right thru some of the tough areas. My dog never flinched or moved. Was very cooperative. Will purchase again.Valued C.
