What is a Furminator???? Can i use it on my lab??? Is it safe??? If yes which is the best??? He is shedding lots of fur

I have a Furminator descending tool for my small med-long hair cat. How much undercoat should I remove at a time and how often should I use it?

I have always used a Dog Comb to comb the Winter coat from my dogs - both long and short-haired breeds. Now, there is the Furminator. I tried it, and I find the Dog Comb is better to get the Undercoat combed off the Dog. I find you have to use the Furminator, which is too sharp, to brush them down to the skin, irritating the skin. What is your opinion on combing out Winter Hair on Dogs? (long and short breeds). I used to groom all sorts of breeds of dogs, using a Dog Comb.

We just adopted a long haired cat and she isn't enjoying grooming at all. I've tried the furminator and deshedding gloves. Do you have any tips for making it more enjoyable for her please?

My Jenny is starting to shed like crazy. She hasn't had this problem before but I have only had her since January and she is a lab mix. Any recommendations on what I could do to cut back on all the shedding? It is everywhere. I was looking at furminator shampoo but I will take any advice. Thank you.

I have a Boston Terrier that recently developed a rash under the face just below neck line. She is not scratching at the area. Using Seresto flea collar. On Royal Canin Urinary SO. Bathed weekly with either Furminator or Buddy Wash rosemary&mint . Not out side dog but does get exercised and walked outside for 30-40 minutes daily. Thank you for your answer/help

I bought a Furminator for short haired dogs after my girl's bath earlier this week. She's starting to shed due to the change in weather. Though, I've noticed some complications with her fur. The hair on her lower back and shoulders comes out easily, which is great! However, the hair on her mid back is more coarse/rough and takes more effort to comb. Is there something wrong? Do I need a specific shampoo to make it softer? What should I do? Pics: 1. Her entire back. 2. Soft fur. 3. Rough fur.

We adopted Zoey for Christmas and have since put two and two together that my four-year-old son is allergic to her. Getting rid of her is not an option as I won't do it and meds on his end isn't an option either. What can I do to help him to not be so miserable. I found on chewy.com the furminator brush (which I'm purchasing) and a dander remover and to me that sounds like it's a gimmick and that it wouldn't work. Am I right? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time

My male dog (yellow lab) has redness near his private area and it is hard for him to walk what is wrong with my? we got him furminator yesterday and ever since then it has been there. I couldn't get a pic because he is sensitive to the area and wouldn't let me lift up his back leg, so i got a pic that look like the thing he has. Thanks. he is a yellow lab 8 years old around 100 pounds

Thank you vet Andrea your advice is helpful. Just to comment she does nip me even for no reason so that’s why I feel the need to discipline she needs to know it’s not okay. How will I introduce new people if she gonna nip . Also I have the furminator for shorthair she just doesn’t want me to do anything but feed her . Give her nonstop treats and play with her . She won’t even let me mom brush her like that. She just scratches nonstop. Maybe it time to take her to vet again for these issues?

how to make my cat quit shedding, i brush her every other day

I have a long haired elderly maincoon/tabby mix with mats all over his body because he is too overweight to reach them and honestly doesnt even try. Is there some product we can use to help him out? Shedding brushes are useless at this point and we've nearly resorted to a professional groomer.
