My new Best friend the scraping brush!

Kac46047 · 11-16-2011, 10:56 PM

I have been drowning in the aftermath of a heavily shedding WGSD. My friend recommend the scrapeing brush and i cant even tell you how much hair I took of that dog! The best part is when my puppy sees me reach for the brush he jsut sits down and lets me do it. This is a dog that never particuarly likes new/ strange things, but obviously it makes him feel good.
So happy im not sitting on a pound of hair when i sit on the couch!

Oh The "shedding blade" hahahaha Yes it is one of my favorites too.

How do you use one? I thought these were for horses.

KZoppa · 11-17-2011, 09:13 PM

they're mainly for horses but seem to work wonders on heavy shedding breeds. I plan on getting on in the near future.

You basically "comb" the dog with it along with and not against the hair. YOu can get into areas like the loin with the round end. I mainly use it outside during seasonal blows and use the undercoat rake inside. Hair will fly with this...you go light...you don't use a lot of pressure I like it better than furminator because it does not pull on the topcoat as much.

That tool is amazing. I use the fine side on her legs and get tons of very soft undercoat. I don't use it everyday and only use it lightly, outside. If I use it on a windy day it looks like it is snowing GSD fur.
