What's a gentle grooming brush for my Corgi's heavy shedding?

Double coated dogs should not require clipping - this can lead to permanent damage to the topcoat and leave a patchy, mottled or even bald appearance with only the heavy undercoat surviving. The coat both insulates in the winter and allows for ventilation and cooling in the summer - it is important to regularly brush to remove the bulky and dead undercoat when shedding (spring/summer and fall) and this will lighten and tidy the coat

I agree the furminator is sharp and doesn’t work well on lots of dogs. I use a comb and also a slicker brush. Grooming daily will help and won’t be as irritating to your dog. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Jake.

A fuminator is a special comb used on dogs, it can help with fur shedding and can be found in most pet shops. furminator is actually a brand name, they have several products, this is the one i usually recommend: http://www.furminator.com/products/brush/brushes-and-combs/adjustable-dematter-tool.aspx

Here is a link about shedding: https://www.petcoach.co/article/help-my-dog-is-shedding-what-should-i-do/ If using a regular brush, then once a day brushing is fine. If using a furminater, brush once to twice a week. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

The move could affect his coat. You could try bathing him in the Furminator shampoo followed by Furminator brushing to remove hair (be careful as you can over groom). If this or other skin issues develops Cooper should be examined by his veterinarian to make sure he doesn't have an underlying thyroid issue.

Great question! You can use a slicker hair brush to remove excess hair and to keep shedding to a minimum. I would also recommend getting a medium bristle brush. You can get these brushes in a pet store or online.

A colloidal oatmeal bath may soothe itchy skin. Soak her in a warm bath for 15-20 minutes then pat, don't rub, her dry. A fish oil supplement, such as DermCaps or EicosaCaps, may also provide a measure of relief. Check the humidity in your home. Low humidity may cause dry, itchy skin. Use an e-collar (cone) to prevent excessive licking or chewing until Mia sees the vet.
