Questions & Answers
The rake loosens knots and mats and removes some undercoat, but use it before using the Furminator Long Hair De Shedding Tool for best results. The De shedder is the most effective at removing undercoat, and I also use the rake and shedder on my dogs' chest, neck, and breech fur. I'm the proud owner of a Golden Retriever.
Yes, this works well with medium-sized groups. From short to long hair, there's a wide range of styles to choose from. It's what I use on my labs, and it's what a friend uses on her Great Pyrenees dogs. It's one of our favorites, and it's also very functional.
Yes, it is very well made and durable. I have two gsds and a yorkie. My two gsds have thick undercoats, and my three gsds take a lot of abuse. My friend who suggested it has two full-grown Huskies. As a result, I believe that statement speaks for itself. If you're still unsure, contact your local dog groomer for confirmation and advice. Wishing you and your pet the best of luck.
No, but it's very easy to clean out of the brush, and it's the best brush I've ever used on my dogs.
Selected User Reviews For FURminator Grooming Rake
I was able to remove entire sheets of undercoat from our husky's coat without causing any damage to the topcoat. Nothing has ever worked as well for me. Keeping the fur pile together is even easier. Unlike with the blade style furminator, the fur stays clumped rather than spreading out and floating around. This device digs out loose items much more quickly and easily. Take a look at the image to see what you can accomplish in 20 minutes.
Updated. My Australian Shepherd has a long, baby-like coat. the coat is excellent He returns from the pasture with cockleburs and sandburs clinging to his coat, among other clinging things. He's a natural mater. Brushing him is always a struggle because it causes him pain. This grooming tool, however, isn't like that. "Round pins that fully rotate" was something I had never heard of before. I'm not sure how much of a difference that would make. They have a significant impact on the situation. Brushing is no longer a battle for my Australian Shepherd. It's taken a while to get through some of the older mats, but he's not in any danger. Don't be hesitant to give this product a try; your pet will appreciate it. br>br>Recent changes - My first Furminator was taken away from me. I bought another because I knew I needed this exact tool to groom my Aussie easily. Unfortunately, the teeth on each end of the second one began to fall out quickly. My teeth are falling out one by one as I continue to use them. How many stars can you give a fantastic grooming tool if it breaks?.
It isn't something I agree with. This makes it easier to dismantle them if necessary. With ease, it removes loose undercoat and those pesky stickers! Love it! Every morning, I apply it to her, and she enjoys it. It's super simple to use and appears to be gentler than a traditional furminator. The ease with which the sticker burrs can be removed is one of my favorite features. You must, of course, catch them before they become entangled in the fur. The only way out of that situation appears to be with scissors. She's quite furry, as you can see in the photo!.
Update: Regrettably, this is a dreadful experience. It's become a constant annoyance to have the handle fall off. It's like being behind the wheel of a Ferrari with the wheels coming off. No matter how good the comb is, it won't help you. You can't really do anything with it. Others, I'm sure, have solved the technical challenge of the quick-service restaurant. handle is released br>br>Wanted to like this, and I have to admit that it works well, even better than any other comb I've tried on my Golden, but then the wheels fell off. It was the handle, to be precise. I wish I'd read the reviews first because it appears that this is a common occurrence. When working with long coat doges, which is what this comb is designed for, you have to pull pretty hard, and after a few minutes, the handle started to slip. When I looked down at it, the black rubber handle cover and the comb's body had a 1/2" gap between them. I'm going to try gluing the handle on, but I'm not sure what kind of glue will work on plastic. I'll have to ask the manufacturer. Hah!.
] This Furminator tool is AMAZING! ]br>br>Holy smokies, this Furminator tool is AMAZING! We used to have the old version, which had a flat, close-up look to it. in pins (for long-term storage) Our dog didn't want anything to do with it, even though it worked. br>br>I took it out of the package, let him smell it, and went to work on his coat, and I was blown away by how well it worked- without the need to apply additional pressure or tug on tangles! *BENEFITS: br>br>
- Simple to use (again, without putting too much pressure on it)br>- The "rotating" pins appeared to help move the tool through the coat more smoothly (no catching and pulling of hair to cause discomfort)br>- With a little effort, it works on mats and smaller tangles (bigger ones may require starting from the bottom). br>- The pins are long enough to penetrate our golden's coat and massage his skinbr>- Scrapes and scratches were avoided thanks to the rounded pin tips. br>- All of our tasks are completed by a single tool. Brushing, massaging, and deshedding are all things that should be done on a regular basis. *BONUS: br>br> Even when I attacked his neck/chest beard and ears, he waggled his tail and remained motionless while I went to work! After what I thought was a long and successful brushing, I collected handfuls upon handfuls of undercoat. three days ago br>br>*CON: if you are looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be. Small clumps of undercoat would literally fly into the air (rather than bunch up *on him* at the end of my stroke, as other brushes/combs did). I believe I have more hair on me than usual (and my black pants-- Isn't it true that goldens should only be brushed when wearing dark colors? ), but that's fine with me. br>br>What we've tried in the past:
- Slicker brush made of wire: He didn't like the wire bristles, which worked well with matted hair. I'm good at untangling tangles, but I'd have to be careful not to put too much pressure on him (or myself) or I'd scratch or puncture him.
- Rake of the Furminator: With this tool (which I purchased specifically for long-term storage), I'm not sure why Furminator is so popular among short-haired dogs. The majority of the time, it just seemed to catch and *pull* at his hair (the pins were so close together!). To get to the undercoat, I had to use more pressure, which bothered Doggo (it could/would scrape his skin), but it got the job done. Overall, it was too inconvenient to use on a regular basis, but I kept it as a symbol of my commitment to being a responsible golden retriever dog owner (even if I didn't use it).
- Pin brush with a combination of plastic and metal bristles: This was the plan for us. heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh This one was well received by our canine companion. Any increased pressure caused the pins to massage his skin more vigorously (without causing discomfort), while the bristles caught the loose hairs and undercoat. Unfortunately, it didn't work well with mats or any small knots or tangles, so I'd use the wire slicker (above) instead.
A Great Pyrenees is the name given to a mountain range in the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain. Take a look at the amount of fur there is! This is a rake/comb, not a Furminator with a razor.
As part of a three-step system, this works well for my husky. First, I use the Dog Rake to remove the fur from his undercoat while ensuring that he is not injured. The rest of the loose fur is then removed with the deshedding tool. The dual head slicker brush is used to finish the job. I use both sides, starting with the coarser side and working my way to the slicker side, taking about 15 minutes total. It takes 20 minutes and I do it once a week for my husky, except in the winter when I only do it once a month. Because the rake is sturdy and gets into my husky's double coat, there isn't nearly as much loose hair around the house and when I vacuum and dust. The best way to get all of your hair is to start from the inside out.
