Furminator On Irish Setter Coat

[Jacquiboss&scoop]

HI

I am looking after MIL Irish setter and have noticed when I brush him that he has a lot of undercoat coming out , can I use our furminator brush on him without doing anything drastic to his coat , he is not showing but I would rather that he looked good when I hand him back thanks

Thanks Showdog

I think I will just use his brushes and comb then to keep him tidythis undercoat mats easy and was hoping to take out some of the comb time LOL mine shed but short coats are pretty mat free

I'd use one if he has been neutered, you aren't going to wreck the coat. Or just use damp rubber gloves and push your hands through the coat and pull any pale hair that is ready to come out.

he is not entire , though they did get him to about 10 months before they did him , will give the rubber gloves trick a try I am used to grooming rotts and cattle dog type coats , this boy is just a little different and he is a drooler all over the ears and throat
