What Coat Tender blade type is recommended for which breeds?

This list of breeds and their recommended Coat Tender blades serves as a valuable reference guide. However, it's important to remember that individual dogs, even within the same breed, can exhibit significant variations in coat density and texture, necessitating the use of multiple Coat Tenders on different areas of the dog. For mixed-breed dogs, comparing your dog's coat to the specific types listed below can help you identify the most suitable tools. Should you have any questions or require further guidance, we are here to assist in selecting the perfect Coat Tender for your dog or your grooming salon.

For professional groomers, Coat Tender highly recommends investing in all three Coat Tender blades — Coarse, Medium, and Fine — to ensure you're fully equipped to manage the diverse coat types and shedding patterns you'll encounter in your grooming practice. This investment not only enhances the quality of your work but also ensures that each dog receives the precise care needed for optimal coat health and appearance.
