Do you have to shave the dog's neck fur?

No. It fits around the dogs neck just like any other collar and fur doesn't matter.

Absolutely not if your dog is long fur just make sure the prongs are at the base of furline and is snug enough to stay in place

no. it works fine without having to shave. We have only had to use the "shock mode" a couple times on each dog. Since then, just the "vibration mode" does the trick. Just ensure that the collar is tight enough to make contact with the dog's neck. I made the mistake of leaving one of the collars too loose on one of our dogs and he ended up chewing the devise into tiny pieces. I now have to purchase another set. :(

No. Just make sure it's tight enough around their neck and the fur will move out of the way.

The instructions suggest trimming, not shaving, the area where the contacts touch the neck. If your dog has a long, thick coat, you may want to trim that area. I have a Morkie and he has a long, thin textured coat. I do not trim that area. I just make sure that the collar fits correctly. You will not be disappointed! I highly recommend this bark collar.

No. This is to remove lose hair and undercoat. All a brush does is move the hair around, this picks the hair up so you can dispose of it before it gets around. However, like a brush, dogs really like the way this feels, and my dog actually is happy when she sees me getting it out.

My dog's fur varies in length, so no, I bought the long haired one. I saw a picture of a German Shepard on amazon and the owner had purchased a long haired, so I thought that was similar to my dog's fur. It gets thicker and longer towards her hind legs. I will try to repost a picture with my review. I did brush my friends shorter hair dog with mine and it worked on her too.

It takes at least thirty minutes or more depending on how you trim your pet. I always start around the face and around the front the chest area so I don't burn my dog. I understand you don't want to stop and start but, with any clippers you can over work them by not cutting using layer cuts. By this I mean if your dog has a lot of hair you want to start cutting them with the large hair attachment first then work your way down to the smaller one. This keep the clipper a cooler rather then over work them and they get hot. The DVD that come with the clippers will talk about this.

No. The fur stays on. Does not shed. However, takes many batteries. Other than that..I love the dog! Fun toy!

You will likely want to trim your dog's hair around the leash to prevent it from soaking its fur.

It's made to get fur off a dog so if you're asking will it take fur off a non-shedding dog, no, you'll need a razor or clippers for that. If you're asking if you can still use it as a massage/feel good brush/bath time scrubber thing, then yes, it'll work great.

I simply use my hand to remove the fur. The dog fur I need to remove is long so I'm lucky.

Thank you all for your answers. I ended up ordering one so hopefully my boxer will enjoy the experience of being groomed and the brush gets out lots of shedding fur. Thanks again for all the prompt and helpful responses!

I like the rake for general grooming. It doesn't bother my pet and removes loose fur and reduces shedding. The Furminator is finer-toothed and is less comfortable for my pet. I did find it very useful, however, when my pet got a bunch of burs in his fur (from running around in some wild brush). The Furminator worked very well at removing them.

My dog isn't long haired, but she is shaggy. The collar comes with 2 sized prongs, I use the short ones, but I think if you separated the hair when placing it on the pup and used the long prongs, it would probably work.

I would suggest to give your pet a bath then at the end of the bath spay some on the pet then add water to delude it on the fur then towel try/ blow dry.

Not quite the same. I haven't used the furminator on my Wolf dog since I purchased the Pro Quality Dog Brush...it seems to get the undercoat out which is wooly without running the risk of scratching the skin. It's a personal choice. I don't use the rake or furminator on any of my dogs since I purchased this brush.

I find they do have to be fairly tight. The collar works by direct contact with the neck (so in long haired dogs, shaving may be necessary). You will find that when the dog puts its head down the collar is not as tight as when the head it held up. I can put a finger between the contact points of the collar and the dog's neck, but no more. Even an adjustment of 1/2 inch makes a difference for us. Good luck !

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, It is to removed pet hair when needed. I hope to earn your business. Have a great day!

I would think if the fur isn't too thick or too matted, it should work. The cutting surface is not terribly wide (it is, after all, designed for a human face) but if you're not shaving the entire dog I think it should be fine. The motor power is definitely there. Good luck and thank you for rescuing!
