Deshedding Tool Dogs
What are the best deshedding tools for grooming dogs.?
Okay, I admit it, I can get into the propaganda thing! Brutus, my newfie, can produce a houseful of shedding in one minute. Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration. I've seen this furminator things. They cost a lot. My last furbaby (lab/shep/? mix) didn't have a double coat so he only needed occassional grooming. (Although we pretty much did it daily because he who held the brush is was loved.) Brutus needs daily grooming. Sometimes, twice daily. Can anyone recommend good grooming tools to reduce the hair. If this furminator really a good thing? What about other tools? The name "furminator" puts in mind a bald dog shivering the cold and having all fur terminated on his body. gasp.
A newfie not only has a double coat, they have a long double coat. In order to remove the loose hair, you need tools that will get literally "to the bottom of things" and enable you to brush out the coat from down at skin level.
I would suggest 3 tools: First, a matbreaker or an undercoat rake. If the dog has any matted areas, or spots where the coat is so thick it seems too dense to get through, the matbreaker is probably best. If the coat is in good shape, a rake will help remove the dead undercoat. Work from the skin out and literally break up the dense areas or matted coat. Work methodically through every inch of the dog, usually starting with the back quarters and working forward. Use your hand to part the hair in lines as you go, so you can easily keep track of what areas you've brushed.
Second, use a slicker brush. For a newfie's coat, the Franks Univerasal slicker in size Large is probably best. The pins on these professional grade brushes are strong enough to get all the way down into a newfie's coat. Again, line brush from the skin out, not just over the top of the coat. Don't forget classic "trouble spots" behind the ears, and in the armpit and groin areas.
Lastly, use a good metal comb with at least 1 1/8 inch long teeth spaced 1/8 of an inch apart, to get the last of the loose coat and as a way of checking to make sure you've gotten all the dead coat and matts out. A "greyhound style" in Medium/coarse or what is called a "poodle comb" is what the pros use and is well worth the money you pay for a good one.
Those combs with the rotating teeth that claim to remove undercoat don't work well and break easily, and the Furminator on a coat like a newfie will be equally ineffective. Shedding blades are pretty worthless on long coats, as well. Put a bit of money into good equipment and it not only will do the job, but will last. You can probably pick up all three tools for less than you would spend at the groomer to have your dog done professionaly.
You can also check with a local groomer for advice on proper tools. Most times they will be happy to help you out, and even show you how to get the job done, knowing that they could gain a potential customer when you decide you need help, and also knowing that you've made at least some effort at home grooming and so most likely your dog will be accustomed to the process.
