@@rmoore4872 yes but remember that is also because it yanks basically any fur strands it comes in contact with. They even recommend not using it too often it for extended periods...trust me I have a husky. He's not exactly a fan. It's great for a quick 5 minute touch up but for shedding season where you may spend upwards of 30mins with your dog by brushing him? nope! Just ky opinion
Cooper the Happy Corgi don’t know if you will see this but for cooper touching avoiding touching his skin is really hard but I think the furminator is manly for dogs who’s fur is real thicc like a husky. a lot of people are saying that testing a brush on human skin is stupid but in Coopers case that’s a good test. So while people say your ways of testing a brush is wrong I think that your the one who’s right and the furminator just isn’t for you and your dog. People shouldn’t complain about about what you said cause In the end your still right cause it’s your OPINION not a fact. So I say keep not using the furminator on cooper cause it’s not meant for him and keep making these good vids. Sorry for ranting about stupid topic just wanted my opinion out there somewhere
I’m not a dog exporter but I think dogs have thicker skin then humans so what ever you feel when you pass that on your arm it’s not the same for dogs. I think
@@annakonda6289 Not really. Think of it this way a dog who has a lot of fur and more than one coat of it. The dog's coat being super thick ect. Would not be similar to human skin. If you know how to brush your dog properly you'd be able to easily avoid damaging your dogs skin.
Do what makes the most sense for you and your dog. For us, we don’t like the furminator because it tends to scrape off and damage the outer coat, and Cooper also doesn’t like it. Thickness of dog skin also doesn’t equate to lack of sensitivity- that’s often the misconception around dog skin. Again, every dog is different and we encourage people to consider different perspectives and most especially, to take their dog’s comfort into account.
I have both the furminator and the zoom groom for my two corgis. Mostly we use the zoom groom, it's great! But for extreme situation or removing dirty/dry muddy fur the furminator does come in handy. We got the one for cats though, smaller and not as harsh.
My Husky hates the Furminator. I don't think it is that good. Those rubber brushes wont do nothing on a husky though. I use Andis deshedder tool along with their comb and pin brush and finishing touch with a small leaf blower.
Corgis have thick double coats. They are a herding breed just like German shepherds. However, the Furminator destroys the undercoat and cuts off healthy hair which messes with the dogs temperature. That's why you shouldn't use it.
I have an American kokerspaniel she is our first puppy. Well we bought furminatoe and after seeing this video i am scared to use it. I don't want to hurt her so can you plss tell me why yoy recommend furminator so i can calm down😅🥺
Cooper has such beautiful fur! I try to imagine my face buried in his ruff and snuggling him. That wonderful sweet smell of soft clean corgi fur too. Pure happiness!💓💓😘😘😘
My opinion on the furminator has changed.I realized that the Furninator is so effective because it yanks basically any fur strands it comes in contact with. They even recommend not using it too often for extended periods...Trust me I have a husky. He's not exactly a fan. It's great for a quick 5 minute touch up but for shedding season where you may spend upwards of 30mins with your dog by brushing him? nope! Just my opinion 5:20 lol thanks for the honesty. Great vid and very helpful.
I have used to have a Corgi myself, and I know how much they shed. I now have a Boxer German Shepherd Mix, and he sheds just as much. Thanks for "shedding" some light on this subject! :)
the furminator may not be reaching his skin to bother him however it will pull and break hair away due to the sharpness of the edge and the lack of space between blades makes it more likely to feel like a razor or tug any hairs that don’t separate between teeth
It really depends on if your corgi enjoys the brushing sessions. If she likes it you can try once a week for as long as she allows you, but it would really depend on her tolerance for it. Good luck!
Thanks for this important video. I am fostering a corgi and have been overwhelmed with hair after having a dog who never shed. Was concerned when my friend used the furminator on this corgi. Will switch to your recommendations. Going on your Amazon now.
My former boss had a Corgi, I would baby sit and I swear I could make a whole new Corgi with all of her shed. Unfortunately she recently passed away, she lived a long life and I have a bunch of good memories of babysitting her
I have a rotty, and she hates slicker brushes, but she has no issues with the furminator, I think she likes it, when I stop she rolls and puts her head on me to continue lol
You can use the furminator every 2 weeks if you are gentle, but it’s true, try it on yourself. Also, it’s awesome for getting dog hair out of chairs, sofas, etc so don’t throw it away if your already bought it!
So glad you said that about the furmonstor lots of people recommended it to me for my pug who sheds like crazy but hes a puppy so I always was concerned about that don't think I'd be a big fan I didn't like the pin brush either but mine was cheep. I HEARD so many good things about the zoom going to pick one up TO TAKLE ALL THIS FUR thanks for the review.
Thank you Cooper for sharing your experience. By the way, Lizzy has a crush on you. She loves watching you on RU-vid. She thinks you are one handsome fella.
I’m convinced corgis just have an unlimited supply of fur. I can pull a pile off my dog daily that’s the same size as him. We’re never truly done. I just do it until he gets tired if it. It also doesn’t help that he rolls over and expects me to use it on his chest, opposed to his butt.
We recommend both equally as they are both comfortable and effective. You can choose one or try out both, it is up to you. Chances are either one will be fine and enjoyable for your dog.
I have a pit and all I do is brush her with a soft bristle brush . At Walmart they have one that’s a short soft bristle on one side and a longer pin bristle on the other side. It works great for me since I have a german Shepherd too.
where can i find a longer toothed comb kinda shaped like a rake with curved teeth like a rake but stron enough for large dogs with long fur and some matts in there and some of my dogs have an under coat...furminator wont cut the mustard..
I need a good comb cause I bought a cheap one from target and used it on my dog and it actually made him bleed 😐😐 which made me really mad because it was sharp like the first comb
im so confused..... obviously if you comb that hard it's gonna hurt, brush more gently then, it's to get the loose hair out nobody asked you to scratch ur corgi's skin off 🤔
Nobody said anything about scratching the dog’s skin off 😂 Brushing “gently” isn’t the solution. If you try using one of those metal brushes on your own head “gently”, you wouldn’t like it either. It’s harsh on any skin.
I work at a grooming salon, and for a german Shepherd I would definitely recommend using the furminator shampoo and conditioner and when the dog is dry brush up with the long zoom groom. That what I always use with german shepherds.
we ran into the same problem with metal pronged brushes. Would you recommend the zoom groom as a full brushing system? My corgi is shedding constantly and it be nice not to have her essentially be a dandelion 💗
Thank you! Since we don’t have any experience with an American Bully, we cannot confidently make a recommendation. But, you could start with the softer silicone brushes and see how your Bully likes it and if it is effective. Good luck!
brush your dog outside why have all that loose hair in the house . Furminator works great on my short hair dog I use the rubber one to loose the hair and the furminator to catch all the excess worked good
Thanks for watching! And to clarify- we don’t sell items (we are not sellers), and not every item in the video is listed in Cooper’s Amazon store. You can check the store out for yourself!
