Our 7 month old dog is really starting to shed - can anyone recommend a good grooming brush that will help us out?

Hvae you tried the Furminator? It sells like hotcakes out of my store and people can't stop talking about how well it works.

I see it has a blade...What is the possibility of a wiggily JRT being cut by this tool?

[MrAndrew]

That's a great question, I haven't heard of any pet getting injured by a Furminator. Basically it is an undercoat brush and the only 'sharp' part on this tool is in-between the metal comb-like parts, where the the fur goes in-between. I'd be happy to an up close picture of it if you want

[Lara's mom]

My Lara doesn't have an undercoat but, my Bailey does. I'd love to see a bigger picture.

[MrAndrew]

I guess I was a little off, "The Furminator does not cut the hair but grabs and removes undercoat hair quickly and easily."

We had a demo model in the store but I can't seem to find it and don't want to break open a sealed one. Here's an image of how it looks, semi upclose.

[Lara's mom]

Thank you. It might be a good thing for Bailey. She's a border collie - spaniel cross and has loads of undercoat!

My dogs love their undercoat rake. It also doubles as a back scratcher for them.

you could try a love glove for your jrt. its a rubber glove with little bobbles that cling to the hair. dogs love them.
or a deshedding blade. but use this carefully. its like a hack saw blade bent over.
or a zoom groom.
ferminators dont work on all coat types, ive tried it on my staffy cross and it does nothing but on a collie or spaniel there great. not the cheepest tool.

ferminator also do a shampoo and lotion, you have to leave it on a while but its great stuff.
theres also lots of things you can do with thier diet too but i am no expert on that.
why is it that short haired dogs are the worst for loosing hair???????
i have an old english sheepdog who doesnt moult just sheds as we do and i have never noticed any hair, i also have a pomerian who you just find hair on us and bits here and there, then theres the staffy cross who just coats all the carpets in fine white hairs that the hoover hates picking up!
good luck with your battle!

Furminator is the way to go. It is the best one for dogs that shed alot. They sell it at Petsmart but it costs like 30 dollars.
