Furminator OK
Like you I was sceptical but after reading positive reviews for shelties I took the plunge. My Nala is just on 11 years old and blessed with a wonderful coat and this tool has been the best...easily.. that I have used. I am on my 5th sheltie...have 2 at present...and I would say as long as you are careful...and always spray as you go along... you won't have a problem Remember it is designed to strip the undercoat so you really have to line brush. My youngest sheltie, Mischa is only 13 months old and I would not dream of using it on her. Wait until they have their full adult coat before trying it. That could be 2 years old or even older. Cheers, Brads
Hi,Okay, well first of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Analeyn and I am considering the Sheltie if I do get a dog. I'm also considering the Papillon because they're healthy, small, portable, etc but I really do like Shelties (I fell in love with the breed when I was like 7 and I was playing Nintendogs)... Lol. I'm getting off topic.
Anyway, I was curious about the Furminator. I'm seeing bad reviews and good reviews. The Furminator looks likes it's... Sharp. Sort of dangerous looking. Does it ruin the coat? Some pictures would be helpful for before and after. Tanks in advance! I hope to get to know you guys better.
