I agree the furminator is sharp and doesn’t work well on lots of dogs. I use a comb and also a slicker brush. Grooming daily will help and won’t be as irritating to your dog. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Jake.

A fuminator is a special comb used on dogs, it can help with fur shedding and can be found in most pet shops. furminator is actually a brand name, they have several products, this is the one i usually recommend: http://www.furminator.com/products/brush/brushes-and-combs/adjustable-dematter-tool.aspx

The Furminator would be a good option. It doesn’t hurt them when you brush them. As long is you don’t brush one area for too long, you won’t remove too much hair. You just have to pay attention to where you are brushing. This would be your best option to remove the undercoat. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

I'm not sure I have the answer for you, but it looks like the fur that is left has a reasonable about of undercoat in it, so I suspect that it is fairly thick. When that happens with my dog (who has a rough coat), I usually can get it by combing him backwards (from tail to head) or at an angle with the furminator. A moisturing conditioner may help, but often the coarseness of the coat is just normal for them. The only other thing to check is that her skin looks normal in those areas, and have your vet check it out if anything looks abnormal. I hope that was helpful! Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Great question! You can use a slicker hair brush to remove excess hair and to keep shedding to a minimum. I would also recommend getting a medium bristle brush. You can get these brushes in a pet store or online.
