Deshedding using the FURminator

This picture shows just how much hair I racked out of this Labrador after her bath. The amount of hair that was washed out of the coat during the bathing was 3 times the amount shown here. To find a groomer near you click here

I also recommend you try NuVet Plus supplements for a healthier coat. Healthy skin and coat means less shedding by your pet and that means less hair for you to clean. Use Order Code 42299 to save $$

Weimaraner / Retriever Mix

Hi, I'm GuntherThis handsome boy of 2 years is Gunther. He is a Weimaraner/Golden Retriever mix. Unlike either of his parents, he has a sleek, beautiful black coat.
Grooming this type of coat is quite easy. You will need a natural bristle brush or a slicker brush. Regular brushing two or three times a week will help to keep the coat and skin in top condition and shedding to a minimum. If the shedding is to much for you to keep up with, ask your groomer if they offer the FURminator shed less treatment or a carding procedure. I use the FURminator and recommend using this treatment every 4- 6 weeks until the shedding is under control. The shampoo and solution are hypoallergenic and non-drying and will not dry out your pet’s coat.
Full Grooming, which includes bath, coat conditioner, brushed, ears cleaned and nails trimmed should be done every 8 - 12 Weeks

Grooming The American Eskimo Dog

Hi, I'm Blizzard
The American Eskimo is a beautiful, snowy white Spitz-type dog. They are a fairly healthy breed, although they can have eye and tear duct problems. Wiping the eyes with a soft cotton gauge can help keep the eye area nice and white. The American Eskimo is an average shedder, but brushing two to four times a week using slicker and pin brushes followed by a wide & standard steel comb, this is necessary to prevent mats and tangles. When bathing, be sure to first brush out any tangles and use a mild shampoo. A conditioner can help release the shedding undercoat, making it easier for you to brush.
Full Grooming by a professional should be every 8 weeks. The feet should have a round appearance, this is done by scissoring the stray hairs around the foot, and even with the pads underneath. Toenails are trimmed and thinning shears can be used to remove stray hairs from the feet up to the hock joint. Ears are cleaned and hair inside the ear canal is pucked. The FURminator Treatment is highly suggested, ask your groomer if they offer it. I do and the owners love it. All and all, the American Eskimo should look very natural.

Some owner like a nice tidy style. So here is Snowball, she is sporting a lion clip. This is a great look on her. See, she looks so happy with her new hair do and it feels great too.

The FURminator & how it works

The FURminator is a wonderful system that I use in my grooming
business. I first learned about it back in 2004 during Groom Expo, which is a annual event where groomers from all over the world join to learn from top groomers in the field. This system is a three step procedure to rid the seeming endless shedding of hair. You know, those pesky hairs that were once part of your dog and now are making their home in the fibers of your couch and clothing. Well, now you can add this service to your dogs regular grooming and see less fur flying around your house. The FURminator shed-less treatment
