Curry Combs: Anyone else use them?
Just wondering if any other members ever use a rubber curry comb (for horses) on their short haired breeds? I've always used one for Luke..I picked one up for $2.99 at the feed store last year and it works GREAT. He's shedding pretty heavy right now and it really gets the loose hair off and out fast and easy. Plus he loves it.
On that note...he did the CUTEST thing the other day!
I had been looking for his brush...and couldnt' for the life of me find it. The next afternoon, I'm sitting upstairs in our bedroom and he calls me downstairs (yes he talks to me a lot and I usually know what he wants lol) Anyway...I go downstairs, and there he is, standing in the spot in the livingroom by the door where I usually brush him...with the curry comb in his mouth! I dont' know where he found it but it was just the sweetest thing.

OMG that's a great idea! I have carpeting on my stairs and the vaccume doesn't pick up all the hair. Thank you! I'll try it!

No kidding lol. Why pay twenty bucks for something brand name when a cheapy horse comb will work..actually I find they work better than those mitt things with only the little nubs on them.
Just thinking here how insane it is that I'm all excited about going to try out the curry comb on me damn carpet. I think I need help

I prefer her au naturel. So, now, because it's soft rubber, the little dog gets to add it to his toy collection.
it sound like your dog has a coat that needs 'stripping' ie the dead hair taken off,and yes after stripping they do look very different...id be surprised the curry comb did that tho.
