What size blade is best for lab and goldens ?

I purchased the medium to groom a springer and a giant schnauzer I think you could use that on the golden The lab I would use a rubber curry comb. I used that on my Dalmatian and that worked well

Ive a 75lb golden and the wider blade works great.. especially thru the burrs!

What number blade are you looking for? I ordered the #5 blade and had to return it as it too didn't fit. I haven't re-ordered yet, but will say this that the #10 blade that came with the set was no longer sharp for when I cut my dogs hair for the second time. I have a Shih Tzu who's hair was never beyond an inch and always groomed no knots...so there should be no excuse for that. I now need to get another #10, but not sure if I should invest more money in these clippers as I don't find they have much power to them.

My dog's hair was almost 3 inches long and very matted when I cut her. I used a #10 ultra-edge blade and it did fabulous! I have to mention though that I cut her down very close to the body since I didn't want to have to cut her again for quite some time. If you are only wanting to trim it down just a bit, I don't know if the #10 would work the same since I haven't tried it myself. I 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.

My lab is 63 pounds and it cuts his nails. Can't say about the size of your dog though.

Blue lab. These are IMO the best blade you can buy for the money. I'd much rather use these over any other. Hope this helps

I would recommend a #5 or a #7 skiptooth blade followed by a #5 or #7 finishing blade. So if you have a #7 finishing blade, use the #7 skiptooth. Be careful using the skiptooth. You can knick your pet. Be careful.

According to the listing for Australian Cattle Dog on the Mars breed usage chart you would use the 12 blade. I suggest you take a look at the Mars site to determine which tools are best for your dog. I use the 10 blade on our English Springer Spaniel with excellent results. I also have used the 10 blade on a Golden retriever.

I have a 7FC Ceramic Edge that I use on my big guy. He is part Chow, Lab, St. Bernard. It goes thru his thick coat like a hot knife thru butter!

I have the super large. My 100lb newfie and 75lb golden both use this all the time. Depending on how big your golden is the extra large may be a better choice to save on heat.

utility knifes blades are pretty much a standard size, so amazon or any hardware store. I am a big fan of the Lenox 20351-GOLD50D Gold Titanium-Edge. Pricey but they last longer than cheaper refills. So if you cut alot check out the lenox ones, if not then any replacement utility knife blade.

Blade 4FC cuts the hair on length of 9.5 mm (about 1 cm). That length is perfect for short body hair of my poodle and is recommended for the sporty style.

we have a golden as well, this is the most AMAZING brush ever- our groomer recommended it, you wouldn't believe the hair it pulls out compared to a normal standard brush. Plus Furminator there's always a chance of cutting the dogs skin because it's so sharp, no worries with this!

Hi, I have Springer Spaniels (40-50#) and the medium is just right for them. I would say perhaps the large might be a better fit for your Golden. I love this product - it is awesome!

My Setter/Chessie mix has a long, thick double coat. As long as I take my time, the #7 blade works great for a short cut. If I try to shave too fast it has trouble.

I don't have any personal experience with pugs but I would suggest the small/ medium trimmer. The large works great on our chocolate lab but would be too much for our smaller rat terrier mix. Good luck & if by chance you do cut too close baking soda or turmeric powder is suggested to stop bleeding :)

These clippers can be used for poodles or horses. The blade is the key. If you want a close clip you need a 40 blade. This will be skin tight, often known as a surgical cut. If you want a little longer cut, a 30 blade. The 10 blade will only take off the curls.
