Cheers Peachy

In reply to Katie. Hi The firminator only takes off the two layers and needs to be done slowly. If you come across a knot get a different comb to get nots out. You want to make it best experience ever.

Hi I used the furminator on all three labs of money and I found it does such a good job you do not have to do it as often. Where is your dog?
The furminator get to the second coat as well. Still difficult literally had to bath him everyday if he had been to doy care in the mud or wet. People said washing said washing him everyday would dry out his coat but it didn’t as such good shampoo and conditioner.
Highly recommend firminator.
CAUTION Its blade and prongs are rather sharp so do not press hold and do not keep going over the same spot.

We use a rake like the Furmanator. Early I was too aggressive and my black lab “complained” by not staying for the treatment.
I now simply comb with the rake taking more but less agressive strokes and he carries the rake around for more.
Gotta love a Lab.

In reply to Dana. My labs spend alot of time in cold water retrieving ducks so I understand your concern with damaging the undercoat. However, if you use a light touch with the Furminator and don't use it when their fur is wet, it shouldn't be a problem. I've used one for years on both my dogs (once a week) and it's been great at keeping the hair down in the house. Just be careful not to press too hard or too deep.

In reply to Dana.

I have 2 labs, one yellow one red. The red has shorter hairs and neither swims (no water source) but I have used furminators on all of them. They actually get excited when I walk outside with it and jockey for the “do me do me” position to be brushed. The amount of hair removed is massive and I would think if it pulled anything out that was essentially attached they wouldn’t be so excited to have it done. I know that doesn’t really answer directly but if its meant to be removed…..just my logic.
One thing I will say is a larger AND smaller is a good idea to get in smaller areas and use caution on less hairy areas like the legs and bellies. Hope that helps

In reply to Dana. I use a brush glove on our Rec, just an ordinary plastic job from Pets at Home. It's much more effective than a traditional wooden brush. I can't be bothered with a FURminator.
