how do you all cope when they are shedding there coat,.....sick to death of dog hairs, took him to the groomers today, then bought a furminator tool,....cost 50 pound, just hope its worth it,......do any of you use a furminator ?
Re: shedding coat I know Lynn think I could of made another dog out of all Poppy's hair I hovered up today, Nightmare!! Whats a furminator???/
Re: shedding coat its a deshedding tool,......just comb it and the hairs come out onto it , reduces shedding up to 90 %. well thats what it says on the box
Re: shedding coat Lynne I don't have that much to be fair but he's blonde...the house has to be hovered every day though or it looks like it hasn't been hovered for a week ! I just brush every day with a mitt and that does us .....how did he like the groomers?have you taken him before? X
Re: shedding coat We use a furminator and it works well. House should still be hoovered every day but I'm far too lazy for that I'm afraid :
Re: shedding coat [quote author=bbrown link=topic=3403.msg37144#msg37144 date=1385225518] House should still be hoovered every day but I'm far too lazy for that I'm afraid : [/quote] Barbara,I would be lazy if I didn't get it done....I've got help and I haven't got a little Lizzie to fill my time with much more fun things to do ;D
Re: shedding coat Had a bit of hair in the spring, and a bit at the start of autumn, but apart from that, nothing. I joke it's because I've got brown floors and furniture, but really I'd see it in Charlie's pen and the kitchen where the floor is white, but nothing. Still have to Hoover and mop - because of the mud!
Re: shedding coat i have to hoover twice a day , and the pesky black hairs get every where ,......first time he as been angela,.....he was good,.....was a waist of money just got back from his walk,rolled over in fox poo grrrrr
Re: shedding coat hahahah he will angela, he is spoilt,....he as just been to see santa, photo on christmas thread
Re: shedding coat Wow Lynne £50 I only paid £10 for the one I use only use on Hattie. I thought you were not suppose to use furminators on Labs as you strip out the necessary undercoat. I would never use one on Charlie I just brush him. Worth checking out. x
Re: shedding coat not used it yet oh dear i didn't no that,.....the cheapest in the shop was 32,my flash harry son was with me, he thought this one looked better 48 pound
Re: shedding coat Lynne, they only cost between about £10 - £12 in Pets at Home, where did you buy it? very expensive
Re: shedding coat I paid 40 euros for the Furminator, only use it twice a year when she is shedding her dead undercoat badly, but find it very useful then. I wouldn't use it all the time though, Lynne.
Re: shedding coat We don't use ours very often but if he's moulting we do and then every now and then to clear out his coat and we're gentle with it. I think we probably paid about 20 quid on amazon for ours.
Re: shedding coat Rachael, it strips out the undercoat which is why I use it on Hattie due to her dense double coat, but I don't use it on Charlie ever.
Re: shedding coat on the pack it says, reaches deep beneath your dogs topcoat, to safely remove undercoat and loose hair faster and easier ......i have not used it yet
Re: shedding coat Rachael, it's a comb, mine is double sided with one side wide teeth and the other close together teeth so really necessary for Hatties' coat I would not reach the dead coat deep down as she has so much hair.
