I'm very bad at it lol. When she blows her coat I usually like to get it professionally done, I don't like using that brush that much.

Sorry I wish I can help. i do it myself and im close to you in area wise. I hate the furminator it rips the dog fur up, I tend to use use a brush and get it all out.

I'm the same way. I will brush my girls out, but when it is coat blowing time, I just take them to my groomer and get it done.

The furminator doesn't rip if you don't press hard. I just lightly pull it across khuno's fur, but only after i take a comb and straighten it all first. Khuno loves the thing haha

I can never understand how they still have fur.

I'm lucky, my mother is a groomer. So, I never have to pay to get Delilah de-shedded.

I could literally brush her for days if he let me... I don't understand how they aren't bald. It's non stop hair hair hair

I just brush until my arm is sore. Pretty much does the job.

Not to brag or anything but.....Willow's shedding is very minimul! It must be her sleek coat. Dakota was so fluffy, it took months to blow his coat! I'm pretty shocked with how different the shedding is between the two. Aspen hasn't started her coat blow yet so I have no idea how bad she will be but her coat is still much less fluffy than my Dakota was.

Ugh lucky. I know I've seen huskies w such short coats. Envy. People are like "just shave her" I had considered it till I came across some posts on here, thank God.

Not to upset you, but by trade I am a certified Dog Groomer, My Price to do a husky, Including Bath,Blow out and a hour long brush out(Trying to remove all the lose/dead hair) along with Nail clip and ear cleaning was $85, Since you all own huskies you know how much work goes into trying to get the hair decent, especially during blow out season. This was normally a 4 hour long process.

I keep hearing of the furminator, you know that the rake works wonders to and it does not pull the hair, also a regular metal dog comb. As A groomer I would never use the furminator, it can cut your dog very badly if you do not know what you are doing.

It's more than just cutting your dog...I could never get that close to e skin with my dogs coats. It's the fact that it tears up the coat.

I think my four month old is starting to blow his coat, getting chunks of hair everywhere o.O let the good times roll lol

I found a groomer here where I'm at that charges 25. She's one of the army wives here just trying to make extra money to help out. I was paying about 60 at the vets office. If I had the equipment I would just do it myself but it would take a team of people to get Bandit all done up haha. That is one awesome thing about my rat terrier...I just put him in the tub and can hold him down with one hand and bathe him easy peasy.

I get it done at a specific petsuper for $35. I push for that price because thats what I used to pay when she was a pup. I make myself oblivious and be all like "$35 right?idk, thats what I payed last time" and they kinda hesitate and then say okay lol. But atleast shiva is a short coated husky so its not too bad. Just the blowing this time around is has been frustrating for the first time.
