For you dog & cat owners out there

There is a new deShedding Tool out that a neighbor told us about.

It is a little on the expensive side vs a brush but OMG to the results and how quickly it does it's job.

We got the Medium Dog short hair deshedding edge for Chad our new Husky and it is just awesome!

@ PetSmart it was $60.00 with tax for the size we got but so worth it.

Just thought you might like to know.

Thanks for the link! I have 4 cats and two Dyson vacs that I use to vacuum the whole house twice a week. Maybe with this, I can cut it down to once...

Your welcome!

We just started to use this on Chad who is now in the full shedding phase and with a double layer coat these Husky's have that means serious fur coming out.

The first day without compacting it down we filled a kitchen 13 gallon trash bag. :eek:

We have a similar "brush" for our husky. This thing looks similar to the one in the link, except no fancy one handed operation - you have to pull the hair from it. It does a great job getting under coat these dogs have. I can be out there all day with her brushing and brushing. When I am done, it looks like a snow storm came through.

We have a Furminator also. It is a wonderful tool.

Be very careful when it comes to shaving a dog. Certain breeds should not be shaved. Dogs such as the German Shepherd and the Husky have a double coat. The two coats protect the dog from the heat as well as the cold. In a worse case scenario, a dog that should not be shaved, could go into shock and die.
My wife was the manager of a pet supply and grooming shop for many years, and the groomer would refuse to shave breeds that were not supposed to be shaved. If your groomer will shave a Husky or a Shepherd, find another groomer !

I would never shave a Husky! As long as you keep them groomed well and plenty of fresh water and kept in the shade when he needs it and wants he will be fine.

Our dog's have always been indoor dogs for the most part and never left unattended outside for their sake and others just in case.
