Best grooming brush for labs

bluejelly

Hi, just wondering if fellow lab owners could recommend a really good grooming brush. i have 3 or 4 and 1 is quite decent(picked it up in TKMaxx) but I'm hoping there is something better out there. thanks!

Benno (Lab/St. Bernard mix) is doing quite well with this:

I'd recommend a double row rake for the undercoat and then a slicker or rubber brush like peasant has linked to above for the top coat.

This is the rake I have - got it from vetuk but they don't seem to stock them anymore?

It does depend on the individual dog's coat though. I have a zoom groom rubber brush that lifts loads of Lucy's coat but hardly any of Baileys! :rolleyes:

thanks for the links. i was looking at the furminator comb earlier along with the furminator deshedding tool. there seems to be mixed reviews on the deshedding tool but it sounds really good. has anyone used this? todays amazon order is getting bigger and bigger

my mil had a lovely labrador and they used a furminator it worked amazingly well, sometimes it was like shearing a sheep! Harry really seemed to enjoy the brush is well!
The brush when used regularly really reduced the amount he shredded is well

Thanks for info, think I'll buy one and use it when the weather gets a bit warmer just incase it takes too much off!

I stopped using our furninator because it damaged Bailey's coat..although you might get away with it on a lab's short coat.

Ok so I bought the Furminator deshedding tool and the curry comb from zooplus. Thanks for the feedback"...............I'm expecting a dog hair free home soon http://www.zooplus.ie/shop/dogs/dog_...brushes/395328

You're moving house?

I thought the plastic curry comb for my pony was the absolute best on the Labs - and they loved it too.

I found Ferminator to be the best come on our labs. Make sure to do it in your garden though!!! If you have a dyson they also have an attachment which is really good (just as good as ferminator if your dog has thick hair but not as good if your dog has thin hair!).
