I have a dog who is a heavy shedder. I think that the *best* way to get rid of the undercoat, is to take the dog to a groomer and have them use the high-pressure dryer on them and blow it out. I *love* the high-pressure dryer.

I take Nebo about every 1 1/2 months just to help with shedding. With doing this, he really does not shed bad at all.

First I give him a very good bath...make sure he is rinsed VERY well. Sometimes before rinsing I'll even soak him down in conditioner and brush him with that on.

Blow the coat out super good, so it's almost dry...after he's completley dry, it's time to brush him out.

What I do is first use the slicker brush and the undercoat rake same time. I just have one in each hand...brush with the slicker, then the undercoat rake....Guess it's weird, but it works for me.

After lots of brushing with that, I use a shedding blade to get rid of the rest of the stubborn undercoat. I use this especially on his hind end....fur seems to gather there.

That's just my way. It doesn't look, to me, that Zeke has a thick enough coat that an undercoat rake would do much...but maybe his fur is thicker then it appears. I think that the shedding blade would work very nicely. Don't use it too often though, as it can cause dandruff. When just brushing Nebo in between baths, I just use a slicker brush (it's the only brush I have at home anyway lol)
