Opinions Needed: Best tools for major shedding??

[columbine]

I used to use a shedding blade on Smudge and follow up with the slicker to pick up all the fluff, but he'd still get tangles. His fur is just so dense and fuzzy that they didn't reach all the way through. Recently I picked up an undercoat comb. I was skeptical - it wasn't high-tech or innovative enough for my way of thinking! - but it's perfect. It just reaches through all the fluff and lifts out any incipient mats before they tighten into dreadlocks, and even dislodges the dandruff flakes that nucleate tangles. So sometimes he looks like he's been out in the snow, but it just means he's gotten a good combing!

Love, Columbine

I use a Furminator and it works great. They now sell them for a lot less money and also many pet stores sell the knock offs of this but I forget what they call it. Good luck.

I bought something years ago called "Shedding tool" and I wore it out using it on mine and had to get another one. Mine all love being groomed and will fight over who's next. I use that on them some but have gotten into the habit of brushing mine several times a day. They love it because it is one on one time with Mommie.

Without a dobt, it is the Furminator which we obtained in a gift exchange with Scrappy Two's Meeowmie In Law Pat aka Phesina.
We get enough loose fur from the Furminator to build another Cat some days.
