Is the Labrador Retriever Really the Best Dog De-Shedding Tool?
The Furminator Labrador Retriever is one of the larger sized dogs in the Labrador Retriever family, weighing up to twenty-three pounds at full maturity. This makes it a heavy and rather awkward hound, however, this trait translates into excellent hunting ability and a great companion. Because of its unusual physical structure, the Labrador was originally bred for its sledding skills. Today, many Labrador owners like to use the terminator as a grooming aid or even for traveling purposes. This large dog is strong and sturdy, with an athletic body that can reach over six feet from its back legs.
Because of the Labrador’s unusual, short hair, its owners need to keep their animals groomed regularly, especially when traveling. To achieve a long fur-free coat that keeps the fur tight and beautiful, regular brushing and de-shedding are necessary. Unfortunately, shedding is a huge part of our lives and it is an even heavier burden when it comes to dogs. Not only does de-shedding contribute to mats, but it also harms the health of our pups. Because the de-shedding process is such a time consuming and a complicated chore, many people consider the short hair of the furminator Labrador simply too much work to bear. Some people are even willing to pay salon fees to have short hair removed.
Unfortunately, underfed or overfed furminator Labradors suffer a variety of ailments.
Their coats will become matted and heavy, and they may begin to suffer from stomach worms. If underfed terminators fail to have their coats de-shredded efficiently, they can develop serious health problems such as hypothyroidism. These problems can usually be remedied with vitamin supplements. In the worst-case scenario, the underfed furminator Labrador may have to be euthanized because of its inability to shed its underdeveloped coat. This is, however, an extreme measure that is only taken as a last resort for the most desperate cases.
A de-shedding tool is a small hand-held device that is used to quickly remove loose fur. The tool consists of a blade and a pair of scissors attached to a metal handle. The fur is lifted using the scissors, and the metal blade is then dragged across the top of the fur using slight pressure. After the blade has firmly grabbed the loose fur, it is extracted by a separate button on the handle. The device is completely safe for use on puppies and adult pups, and it is completely humane.
If your furminator tool has been chosen for its effective performance as a heavy-duty under-fur cutter, you may want to consider purchasing a long hair de-shedding brush.
A long hair de-shedding brush is similar to the furminator tool in that it is used to quickly take out loose fur from large areas. However, the difference between the two is that the Labrador has a small hook on the handle, allowing the user to pull the hair without damaging the dog’s skin. Additionally, the long hair brush is made with stronger bristles and is designed to last longer than the terminator.
If your puppy or adult pup seems to shed excessively, you may find that a hair-free cloth will suffice. This is the most inexpensive option for a de-shedding tool, and the cloth can be purchased at any pet store or from online sources. However, hair-free clothes are not very absorbent, which means that they will not offer the strength required to effectively pull out large dogs’ fur. On the other hand, the soft texture of the cloth makes it perfect for grooming purposes, and the cloth can often be washed and reused on another fur-free dog.
The terminator undercoat removal tool is designed to be used in conjunction with the other tools listed above.
A heavy-duty nylon handle is included with the tool for maximum versatility in its use. It is ergonomic and comfortable, making it an ideal choice for large-breed dogs. At the same time, the ergonomic handle has been reinforced to prevent injury when the dog is being lifted.
When it comes to purchasing a de-shedding tool, you have many options. A heavy-duty fur-free brush and a large hairbrush are included with the price of the terminator. The brush design has a small-diameter rubberized head to prevent tooth chipping and damage to the canine’s skin. For safety, there is an adjustable tension control built into the handle.
