I have two dogs a German Shepard and a Norwegian Elk Hounds. I only want to buy one brush, should I get giant even though one dog is only about 60lbs?

My dog s a 50lb Chow/Shepard mix with about 2 inch long fur and the large works just fine. If the fur is no longer than 2 inches on both dogs I think the large would work just fine. Product Description Style: Long Hair | Size: Large By reducing shedding up to 90%, the FURminator deShedding Tool enables you to share your home with your dog, without surrendering it to his hair. The NEW Long Hair deShedding Tool for Large Dogs is specially designed for dogs that are less than 51-90 pounds with hair that is longer than 2 inches.

I got the medium one for our 65lb lab mix and it works just fine! I think the larger ones just cover more surface area, so it's possible they could get the job done quicker for bigger dogs. For us, the less expensive medium size was definitely the way to go!:)

Go with the large. You want maneuverability over swath-size. A little smaller is better than a little larger in this instance.

I think you only need the one LARGE FURminator for both dogs. Hope this helps. Pat

In general, both of those dogs would probably fit in the large category in terms of the brush, it won't matter much. However, I have two dogs over 100lbs and one about 60lb, but I prefer the medium sized brush for all of them. It isn't much smaller, but the slimmer size helps greatly when brushing the haunches as well as other small areas. Given that you have a Shepard and an Elk Hound (wonderful dogs, two favorites!), I would be a little more careful when brushing with this tool. The cottony-ness of that fur can sometimes tangle in the small teeth of the comb. I truly love the FURminator, it has been wonderful for me, so I hope this answers your question.

Maybe the medium brush? My dog is a husky and the large brush feels small sometimes. I think the small brush is for very small dogs.

Personally my dogs sprawl so I like the extra large. I had bought 2 larges and ended up pushing them together to make one bed. Get the giant if they are both on it at the same time

The breed of dog should not make any difference. Gigantic breeds like Bull Mastiffs may need something larger, but a German Shepard should fit fine.

I think you would be OK with the smaller one- I have a larger one and a smaller one and I like the smaller one for my kitties and also for the faces of my big dogs. I think the blue one will work just fine for your pup!!

I think it´s better if you get a long furminator hair brush. The dual brush is intended for dog with short fur.

Hello Jude. I got the large one because I have a Great Dane but you should be OK with the medium one or even the small one. This product is really good. I tried others and they break easily. This product is also very long so you don't have to bend down. Make sure the medium size is as long as the larger size and measure the distance between your hand and the ground to see if you would like either the medium or large. If you get the large one, it won't hurt you as it is very tall (I don't know about the medium one) but if the medium one is as tall then go for the medium one as the size of the spoon/grabber in either the large or medium size would be sufficient for the size of poop you will be picking up! I would be more worry about how TALL it is between the two! :P Hope this helps!

I consider a medium dog between 55 to 75lbs and a large dog between 80 to 100 lbs +I use the medium to large furminator for short & long hair on my 3 dogs. 16lbs, 24lbs and 95lbs. It works out very well.

Yes, you can buy one sized for a big puppy. But you must be clear on why you want a gentle leader on a puppy. Make sure you have watched the DVD and understand its logic.

I purchased the medium to groom a springer and a giant schnauzer I think you could use that on the golden The lab I would use a rubber curry comb. I used that on my Dalmatian and that worked well

The brush is too large for small dogs. I USE it on my larger dogs and love it. BUT our 4# dog it wouldn't work well as bristles metal and hard.

Sure. Of course, if you are talking about a Great Dane or Mastiff, you might want them to have only two feet on at once. My ten-week old German Shepherd was using it tonight while chewing a bone. Although I originally bought this for my own balance (recovering from being knocked over by an SUV), I felt it could also be used to develop my new dog's knowledge of her rear end.Today, my 11-week GSD was balancing on it with all four feet! Tried to get a video of it for you, but she stopped using all four feet once I reached for the camera. This is good for your dog. It is plenty big enough, I think, for a full-size dog. She has started to lengthen (almost square before). Sure. Of course, if you are talking about a Great Dane or Mastiff, you might want them to have only two feet on at once.

Believe me you don' want the extra large I made that mistake because I have 3 dogs but the are small dogs and I have one to sell if you want to buy one it has never been used because it goes by the size of your dog not how many you have. The extra large will fit a springer spaniel I can fit in the extra large in a sitting position my husband put the dogs in there with me an we could close all the hatches. In essence it is very big. Big enough that it wont fit through doorways unless you have a pit bull you do not want the extra large as I said I have one cheap for sale I didn't send it back because I didn't want to pay he shipping it is very heavy and was not for my purpose but if you want to gauge measure the height and length of your dog. I have 3 yorkies and we just laughed when we got it because it was so big as I said I fit inside but it is too big to maneuver around. You might want to ask the seller what size dog each one is made for. I hope this helps

The Giant FURminator with a 5" edge is listed as being for dogs over 90 lbs I use the large tool with a 4" edge for dogs over 50lbs. My biggest dog is 70 lbs and it does the job.

I think it is a bit too big - unless you are really careful. Plus, for Pomeranian fur, I wouldn't think you need this type of brush, anyway...

I would buy the large one. I have a 65 lb. pit bull and she uses the big one. Good luck with your pup!

I would focus on the type of coat and not the size of the dog. Our mixed breed (border collie/irish wolfhound) is 90 lbs and has thicker hair. It gets down to the undercoat and with the rake-like teeth. Definitely use outdoors and don't dig too deep.
