Huntia Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi, I have a six month old rhodesian ridgeback puppy, that is shedding at the moment. I was wandering if any one had any good tips on efficiently getting rid of the loose hair out of his coat. I have been using a "shape n Shed " (metal double sided comb) and a slicker brush. Just when I think no more hair is coming out with the brushes I will rub my hands over him and more loose hair!!! What does everyone else use? and do you have more success?

piper Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 After reading it on here somewhere I bought a pair of rubber gloves and wore those while giving the beagle a vigorous body rub. She loved it and I could not believe how much hair came out. Which reminds me I haven't done it again for a week or so, will do it again today and see how much more comes out. I have never got as much coat out of her as I did with the rubber gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 A warm bath and a Zoom Groom should see a lot of hair removed. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I get the furminator onto the SBT's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntia Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks, I will give all of these ideas a go. I noticed that ebay has furminators on sale for $15 so I might purchase that as well. His coat looks patchy at the moment with darker spots where the hair is shedding "better" and lighter patches which I assume are "dead" hair ready to come out. It would be nice to try and even things out before this weekend as we are going to a show( our last for the year :rolleyes: . ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good warm bath before to loosen the coat and then a good brush after dry to get the dead coat out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks using a rubber brush simmiliar to the zoom groom, the warm bath, and using the furminator when he was dry worked a treat. :D Thank you to everyone that gave me some advice.
