Select the breed to find the recommended blades. Use the 'How To' chart below for additional help.

HOW TO USE THE ANDIS BLADE GUIDE:
"*SC"	Snap-on comb must be used over 30, 35 or 40 blades
"or" (ex. 10 or 15)	Select the blade according to how long you want to leave the coat.
"&" (ex. 7 & 7FC)	Use the "skip tooth" (i.e. 7) blade before bathing and the "finish cut" (i.e. 7FC) blade after bathing to complete the cut
"to" (ex. 7 & 7FC to 5/8" HT)	Select the blade according to the size of the animal and the length you want to leave.
Blade cutting lengths listed are against natural lie of the coat. Cutting with lie of the coat leaves hair one size longer (ex. #7 cut with like of the coat = length of #5). All suggested body blades should be used with the lie of the coat.
DO NOT use skip tooth blades on cats. Keep skin taut when clipping dogs and cats.
