It was recommended by the groomer - its soft, but firm enough.

little rubber curries as well. Then a follow up with a nice soft brush to help remove the dander off the top of the coat. I also have a rubber mitt I like.

Lots of people rave about the furminator. I personally think if you are brushing weekly the coat will stay nice and healthy and you shouldn't have to use a stripper like the Furminator. But use what ever works best for you.

Weekley brushings and nails and you will have a lovely looking dog all the time.

furminator is for shedding only

not for weekly grooming. If your dog isn't shedding, then the furminator does not pull any hair off. I need to try to get a video for you- it really doesn't strip their coat. Audrey only sheds one big time a year then maybe one more small one. In between shedding I can use the furminator and not get ANY hair at all off her.

I found a really great hand mitt at WalMart-it's a Fuzzy Wuzzy. One side is chenille tubes and the other side is smooth. It makes them SHINE after a good brushing.
