Why didn't I buy this sooner?
After using a wonderful hand-me-down Oster Lucky Dog clipper on my Australian Shephard/Lab mix (medium length hair, VERY thick coat), the clippers finally gave up and it was time to find another clipper. Since my dog has such a thick coat I did not want to purchase underpowered clippers and deal with the resulting frustration. I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase the Golden A-5 Single Speed Clipper with a #10 blade. After receiving the clipper I took my dog outside for her first trim with a new clipper. Her coat had grown about two inches since her last cut, and I was expecting to have a similar cutting experience to that of the Lucky Dog- I was not expecting what actually happened.

This is a typical complaint from users who do not read the owners manual. The manual makes it quite clear that this will happen if you do not properly clean and lubricate the blades after each use. Also, it's helpful to buy a can of Kool-Lube and spray some of that on to the...
Recommende for CATS ! U.S.A. MADE !!!!!!!
Recommended by my veterinarian for clipping Persian Cats I breed, I also highly recommend this clipper.
It will clip off even severe Persian cat matting.
It is to be used with Oster #7 Blade. (if you are interested in grooming hard to clip long hair and double haired cats, especially Persian cats.
Again, I'd like to mention it is Made In America !
