Advice please :-)

Me and hubby been looking at getting a "Furminator" as they supposed to help with loose fur. What do you all think of them and also which one do we get? They do long hair and short hair. Rosie is a collie/Dalmatian cross. So her body is smooth but has a scruff round her neck and is also fluffy on her back legs ( hubby has likened her to a lion lol ) so am confused which do I get, if they are any good? Thanks in advance

My dogs have lots of hair and I have had a try at everything, borrowing friend's brushes when we meet up at shows. The one that won by a mile is the undercoat rake you can get from pets@home.

Thanks, will have a look at that one.

I use a shedding blade on Pereg - she has short hair but is double coated and has longer [and coarser] hair on her scruff.

I have a furminator and I swear by it! It gets loads and loads out!
I will admit I bought it on amazon (much cheaper) and when it came I was very worried, it looked sharp and I had seen reviews that said it clipped the coat, so while my OH was looking the other way I tried it on him (since he has much shorter hair than me!). It didn't get a single hair out and while he was surprised he said it didn't hurt.
I am careful that I don't press on too hard but it's fantastic! I bought another one for my mum's black lab but I think they used it a bit harshly and now he hates it! My dog thinks it's fine but generally doesn't like standing long for anything.
If you look around you can get them for about £10 (we have the older one, but works great). In pet shops they can be upto £50, which I couldn't spend on a brush.

Like the way you give it a test run on OH,before the dog!!

It looked scary and I would never want to hurt my dog.

Will be laughing at that all day,sounds like something I would do Well we have to have our priorities right Thankyou for brightening my day

Haha I like your thinking

Thanks you have helped make my mind up
