Thread: Shedding

Yeah, I used the Furminator on MC Bubba (RIP) twice about two weeks apart...

He had an amazing amount of hair to begin with. When I got him from the pound he looked as if he'd never
been brushed and I had to have his belly shaved to get rid of the incredibly dense mats he'd grown.

It definitely got rid of a lot of hair, but I didn't like the way it left his coat so I quit using it after that.

OTOH, MC Elvis absolutely loves the brush and I give him a going over every day or so which keeps the loose hair to a minimum.

I have to trim the occasional small mat out of the thick parts, and it definitely is something I'd be more careful about if there was
an intention to show him but his shedding is nothing that the Dyson can't cope with.

I see more loose hair around the house from Coco the Calico shorthair than from Elvis but I can't catch her to brush her and I'd need armor anyway....
