which type of brush....added pics

do you use for your GSD? A slicker brush, bristle brush etc. Any preferences?

wanting to get a decent one for Caius now he's doing less chewiing while we're grooming him

Value your opinions peepies

ooooh i use nothing but the furminator ..... i swear by it...its quite expensive but absolutely worth the money

http://www.furminator.com/

i would like one of those furminators
I have a slick brush, combs, double sided brushes from pound shop

found this mikki website for chosing best grooming product for type of coat

http://www.mikkipet.co.uk/grooming.html

but im dure what they recommend would be cheaper elsewhere...petplant have a sale on some of the range

not GSDs but i use a mikki anti-tangle undercoat rake on my sibes

thanks girlies i know everyone has their preferences I have been looking at the mikka slicker brushes
because Brogan is long haired we've always stuck to combs and double sided brushes his coat is like a border collie but Caius is short haired so wondered if slicker brush would be better.
thanks for the link Elaine I'll check that out.

that along with all your leads as well I think opening a shop is a viable option Sue

I have the rake for a few quid from wilkies, it is very good, use that more than anything really on Bryn and Misty

I don't have a furminator, mainly because they are quite expensive and if I don't like it I have wasted yet more money to go with all the other waste of money stuff I have bought for the dogs

Been and got a mikki mit, stickle brush and a moult master for the nutter. Just need to make sure he does chew em all now
Thanks for all the feedback girlies

very nice Suzie, you will have to let us know how you find the things you have bought (if they are good or crap)...

How you finding them Suzie

Thanks for asking missus. We've ordered em off the net so are awaiting delivery(shud of worded me post better ) but will let ya know when they turn up and how we're getting on with em

They've arrived Started with Brogan. I cannot believe how much fluff came out of his undercoat I know I can be a little lax at brushing him but I regularily used the dyson groom tool on him and that seemed to do a real good job but The moult master and slicker brush when used together have been a fab investment. His coat is so much glossier and knot free.

Caius well there goes another story - first touch and he's chewing it but when he'd settled down he was nearly asleep by the time I'd finished. His coat looks lovely and glossy and the brushing seemed to soothe him.

All round I am really pleased with the results so far.

That's good news

It's nice to see them all glossy isn't it, glad you got the right choice

great but i think we need piccys

I swear by my furminator its amazing

Caius straight after a good brush His coat looks sooooo glossy

just chilling mid brush


hey you with the sad face (sorry pics aren't that brill)

The piece of vetbed which the nutter is laid on was cut to fit his bed when we first brought him home

aww bless him Loving his shiney coat. Cant believe how much he has grown.
at the vetbed
