Andy Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ebay, loads cheaper than from your local pet store too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_Caity Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Can you buy them new? I'm a little 'iffy' as to whether other dogs have been groomed with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Can you buy them new? I'm a little 'iffy' as to whether other dogs have been groomed with them. Yes they are fully packaged new not used but loads cheaper. Had one didn't like it too much. I just use a good undercoat rake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone could offer a web address? Wouldn't use one if given... Because of the type of coats that Huskies and Mals have, it can ruin their guard fur which takes ages to grow back. Best using a decent rake and a slicker brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the type of coats that Huskies and Mals have, it can ruin their guard fur which takes ages to grow back. Best using a decent rake and a slicker brush Should have said, we have the furminator slicker brush, but not the rake kind... The slicker brush is good.... But wouldn't use the rake kind on Kodi because it damages the guard fur with the blades. Edited July 2, 2013 by RJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobezilla Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I won't use one on mine a good undercoat rake works well in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our breeder said never to use them on Huskies. They rip fur and leave patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I used one when we first got Myshka & I could actually hear it cutting the guard hairs, it was quite scary, so now I used a Mikki anti-tangle undercoat rake & a flat slicker brush on the tails as advised by our groomer, much more fur friendly - the furminator does get the fur up off the rugs & mats though!

We use a window squeegee to get the fur out of the carpet! And if Furminators aren't the way to go, any brands to recommend? We have a wire brush because that works wonders on my mum and dad's GSD, but it's not great for ours. - Caity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuramaxDiesel Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I use an undercoat rake. It doesn't have a brand name on it anywhere, but it works nicely. I also use this other thing that looks like a curry comb with wire bristles on it. I kind of use that for normal brushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
