Coat King Size Guide
How To Pick the Right Coat King
Some general guidelines in selecting the correct size Mars Coat King:
- Dog breeds with a very soft coat, the more blades the better.
- Dog breeds with a long coat, the more blades the better.
- Dog breeds with a very short coat, the more blades the better.
- Dog breeds with a matted coat, start with a Coat-King with less blades and finish with one that has more blades.
- Dog breeds with coarse or wiry hair, use a coarse Coat-King with less blades.
When deciding if you would like to purchase an Original Coat King or the Double Wide Coat King, please remember that they have the same function, they are just wider. If you have a large dog, it may be faster to groom with the Double-Wide. Please see the table below for the equivalent spacing between the Original and the Double Wide:
