Shedding-- What To Use?

[Huntia]

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?

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.

A warm bath and a Zoom Groom should see a lot of hair removed. :rolleyes:

I get the furminator onto the SBT's

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: . )

The ebay has furminators are good value - I have one.

A good warm bath before to loosen the coat and then a good brush after dry to get the dead coat out.

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.
