Grooming Thread!!!!!!

Ok, so Tucker sheds quite a bit less than Chase I still think Chase is really good for a golden though.

When we were looking into goldens Denver definitely fits the shedding description.
Brushing Tucker when he was a puppy i was like he isnt normal until he grew and has more field style. Even at 5 months Denver was shedding like crazy.

Mine isnt like that brush.
Mine is kinda like the Coastal Pet Safari Long tooth rake.

Ok, that makes sense

I really don't brush her too much, maybe once a week. She sheds a lot on her own but not too much during brushing itself. She doesn't knot up either so she's pretty easy

Is that considered an undercoat rake? I didn’t know they could look like that.

Looked it up, they are called undercoat rakes. So what is the difference between what you and I have if they are called the same thing?

What brushes do you use @oldhenlikesdogs ?

For my Aussie I use an undercoat rake, than follow up with a greyhound comb, not sure why they are called at as greyhounds don't need combing. I occasionally use a slicker to pick up the loose coat, but they can easily scratch the skin if too much pressure is used, so I use it lightly. Slickers are best for line brushing which thankfully I don't need to do with Pepper.

The short coat dogs are either my hands, or a zoom groom which is a rubber curry brush. Occasionally I use the shedding blade to remove some loose coat. They don't require brushing.

Here's my undercoat rake,

The ones with blades aren't a good choice as they are actually cutting the coat. People think they are deshedding with them, but they are mostly cutting the coat, both the undercoat and the top coat.

Does the greyhound comb work?
I see a lot of people use them

I don't use a brush with blades as they do cut the coat.
