My beagle sheds hair much more then my previous beagle. Is there a solution to limit the amount he sheds?
The Furminator is a great brush and you will get out TONS of lose hair with it. Like, enough to make a whole new dog! LOL!Thanks Is it best to bathe the dog first before using the tool or do it when his coat is dry?
I dont think it is going to scratch the beagles skin if its done at a nice even pace and not continually on the same area. My beagle is good with the device.I dont know if the furminator will work on short haired dogs, its most likely to scratch their skin.
I highly reccomend a zoom groom, I use it on my cats, but I recently tried on Uno, he has very short hair and it really gets rid of a ton of hair.

It might just be seasonal shedding now that the winter is ending. It could also be that the dog is "detoxing" still from the crap food that it was on at the shelter and who knows what before that. It can take a few months for this "detox" phase to end.Thanks all for the tips.
I ordered the furmiator and will purchase the omega 3 fatty acids.
Danemama08, I notice increased shedding as Spring arrived. I got the pet from a shelter in Febuary and he sheds about 3 times as much now. This tool appears to be highly recommended by other users. Is it best to bathe the dog first before using the tool or do it when his coat is dry?
