So as another summer rolls along aand I now have to think obaut Sam's summer options. We have 1. Take a double coated breed to go be shaved. 2. Find out about a furminator/seditalloffquick solution. 3. Slicker him down all summer. 4. Anything else I can think of. So, I was thinking option 2, the Furminator. I've heard a little about it, but I don't think I've ever seen one. So tell me...does it hurt the dog? How long does it take? Does your dog hate it? Is there a better alternative? How much does it cost? ou can also tell me how it worked and cooled them off all summer or how it pulled out fur 'till scabs showed. hanks for your input.
