I find the Furminator Deshedding Tool very useful - by K. Mann
We have a St. Bernard who is incredibly furry. The first two times we used the Furminator, an enormous amount of hair came off of her. Now, we're using it about once a week and the hair is minimal (relative to what came off before). We've always brushed her regularly, but have never gotten the success that the Furminator has provided. Considering that our St. is lazy and spends most days sleeping in the living room, we've noticed how much less hair the vacuum is picking up, too. Yes, she still sheds, but our legs are not completely covered with white hair after she leans on us. I would highly recommend this product to other pet owners who battle lots of fur!

Before using the Furminator deShedding tool, perform a complete physical inspection of your pet. If you see tangles or matting in his coat, go to a grooming salon for a professional treatment before using the deShedding tool. Look for sores, bruises and skin conditions, which may require treatment from a veterinarian before deShedding. Use the deShedding tool much like a brush and gently stroke across the pet’s coat in the direction of hair growth, angling the stainless steel teeth of the deShedding edge toward the coat. Start from the head and work your way back, using extra care near the pet’s stomach, legs, genitals and anus. Avoid making excessive strokes in a single area. Instead use long, gentle strokes up and away from your pet’s skin. Deep or rough brushing can cause your pet’s skin to become red and irritated,so do not apply too much weight or downward pressure. If you notice any redness or irritation, discontinue use. |
