My lab sheds like crazy... How often should I use this??
187034
I used this every other day for the first two weeks. Now I use it twice a week and it's a lot less hair coming out so it's managed well. Be careful, once my dog sees me with it in my hand, even to move it, he gets all excited to be brushed

We had a yellow lab who shed hair like he manufactured it. It was no problem to empty. I emptied after each use. You may have to pick some out and brush some off the filters but I have had several portable vacs and have been more pleased with this than any other.

I found that as long as I was diligent in washing a minimum of 2x per week, my pet was far less itchy. His problem is with seasonal allergies, so once Fall begins the need to wash so often goes away. I suppose that it depends on the issue your pet is experiencing.

It worked great for my puppy. Let the puppy get used to the bottle and smell the product first and use only on stains. It takes about 1 to 2 weeks for stains to disappear. There is no product out there that gets rid of tear stains that have been on a dog or cat for months at a time. It usually becomes a permanent stain. You must cut the colored hair off and let new hair grow and continue to bathe your dog and keep stains clean continuously. I feed my dog Stella and Chewy. This food has probiotics that help with the dogs digestive system and contains no dyes or chemicals. Stains and alllergy went away as soon as I fed my dog this food. It is all natural.n Hope this helps. It worked great for my puppy. Let the puppy get used to the bottle and smell the product first and use only on stains.

I have a beautiful border collie who sheds a lot and I have absolutely no need of any other attachments than what came with my Rainbow. I love it!!! My house is so clean and fresh smelling! I hope this helps :)

Yes, absolutely! I have a a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever that has a serious shedding problem. After being on this product for a little over a week the shedding DRAMATICALLY decreased. I highly recommend this product if you have a dog with a shedding problem.

I don't seem to have this problem. I brush my dogs teeth every day. I have 2 labs. That's a lot of teeth. They think it's a treat to get their teeth brushed. You might want to put Saran wrap in lid when you close it. Kind of like you would for a good product. Hope this helps.

I'm just a customer, not a vet. My dog is a small West Highland Terrier. I bathed him twice a week for 3 weeks, now we're down to once a week. Not sure how long we'll continue that routine, but he's doing awesome!!!

I spray it on after the bath to help dry, it cuts my drying time and leaves the dog soft. Then if static is an issue I spritz a bit of the stuff to help with that. I love the stuff! My whole salon uses it.

It really cleans it nice and smells terrific but I don't do it on a regular basis because he (my little 8lb Maltese) hates it sooo much and just won't sit still long enough for me to clean it well. It did work well the first and second time I used it. I don't know if there is a trick to doing it but I sure don't enjoy doing it and neither does he. I would say though that if you are consistent that it would work better & better each time. And if there is a easy way to do it, please let me know!!!!

Throw it in the wash on gentle. It does shed so don't put it in with anything you care about. I make a wash of all my cleaning stuff.

if the dog is only using 1 spot you should wash it more ofter - With puppies I change it daily - just in case

One of my Lab/Chow mix dogs, also 50 lbs, has a shorter dense coat, but she also has an undercoat. From what I know of Queensland Heelers they have a dense coat that is straight that helps shed rain. However they also have an undercoat. The undercoat is the reason I would recommend the LARGE DOG FURMINATOR FOR LONG HAIR. That is the one I use. The shedding has been greatly reduced as the Furminator gets out the undercoat easily. I hope it works as well for you.

It's pretty standard- like a baby wipe or Clorox wipe. I have an 80lb lab and typically needed two wipes to clean the paws and more if she splashed mud all over herself. One wipe would probably suffice for small dogs.

once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!! What i have done to get the mildew or wet dog smell out is soak similar colors for up to an hour or overnight is they are close colors...i have had problems with the colors leaking onto lighter colors...so make sure they are similar. I would use a big heaping scoop in a bucket of hot water and soak away and wash in hot water with another scoop after soaking. took care of my stuff:) Hope I helped!! OOh and as the person below said vinegar is amazing!!! I just wash it once with vinegar, wash again with baking soda if needed, then another round with detergent also...that is for the really bad stuff. once you get the smell it is hard to get out!!!

Hi Hamid,We definitely recommend replacing it every so often. How often depends on how often your dog is using it! Most of our customers notice it lasts anywhere from 1-6 weeks! We hope this helps, but if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us directly!- Megan

Depends on the dog. Our lab will start barking after he figures out that it's off. We didn't start using it until he was five years old though.
