anyone have a "shedmonster" groom tool

[juliejujubean]

Does any one own a shed minister tool, saw the commercial for it and I want to know if it actually works. Or something that works really good that does not cost more than 30 dollars

Just run to the pet store and get an undercoat rake. They are cheap, easy to find, and work great.

I use the furminator. It works great!! I have never seen the "Shedmonster". hmmmm.....

I have never heard of the Shedmonster but I do own the Furminator, I love it.

The rake is the quickest and most effective on my dog but I can only use it outside because the hair literally flies everywhere. After you do two GSDs the grass looks like a small animal was killed there. I do not get as good of a result with my furminator.

I set out to Petsmart to get a furminator but after seeing that the proper fuminator for me would be over 50 bucks I decided to go with the shed monster. It seems to be very similar and it works well. It took out a lot of hair and didn't seem to take off too much like a lot of the reviews I've seen with the furminator. She sat still for as long as my dog will sit still. She's still a puppy so she NEVER sits still for long.

Go to walmart and get the shedZZILA same thing only 20 works GREAT!!!! Does not pull hair near like the more expesnive furminator.

I go with a double row undercoat rake in one hand and a slicker (pin) brush in the other, then alterate, based on where (on her body) I am brushing her. I do it several times a week, almost daily and there is not much buildup. I might fill one slicker brush when she is 'not shedding' and 2 or 3 when she is.

Go for an undercoat rake for now. I'm really not a fan of the Furminator and similar products because while it does pull undercoat, it also tends to break the top coat and is easy to overdo leading to a bald spot if you're not careful. I don't feel like you can REALLY get in there and get everything out with one. Undercoat rake is a much better option IMO.

Though if you can only do $30 or less for now, I highly recommend putting up a savings for a tool that will last you years and years and cut your grooming time in half without damaging your dogs coat....A force dryer. It can be used on a wet or dry dog and blows out the coat like no other tool on the market. You can get a pretty basic one for about $100, I highly recommend PetEdge.com Good selection and never had a problem with their company. A lot of people use the Metro Air Force Dryer. It's really really worth the money.

If this is the tool you're talking about, don't get it anywhere near your dog. Those little comma-shaped blades are sharp and will cut coat like crazy. Yes, you will remove a lot of undercoat with this tool, but you will cut guard hair also. I use a similar tool for dematting and stripping out coat when the owner wants the coat "thinned out".
