We just brought home a rescue, she is 3yrs old, a bit underweight and is easily freightened. Will this work well for her?

It was recommended to us by our vet because it won't irritate their skin as other brushes will. If their fur isn't completely matted down, it will work great! Enjoy your new pet!

Does she have long hair? I would be concerned that it might hurt a little and scare her. All I know is I got it for my long haired himalayan kitty and she always tries to get away when I comb her. I am going to try the ShedMonster one instead. I really think it might work better for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

my cat is kind of people shy but I already knew she liked to be brushed. I think it is more about the liking to be brushed rather than whether or not it is a furminator "brush".

You will probably want to use it very lightly at first, not try to actually pull hair out. Once she is used to it, she will probably be comfortable with firm brushing. I think it feels like a massage for cats if you do it correctly.

It is just like any other grooming brush in size and shape. The cat doesn't even know the difference with her old brush. It just does so much more!

Short, light strokes. Long strokes across her body might pull hair and hurt. Congrats on the new addition to the family. She will give you much love and amusement! = )

Be very gentle and limit grooming to a few minutes a day until you build her confidence. Best wishes. Thank you for being a rescue pet parent.

Absolutely! It doesn't make noise and works like a very fine tooth comb. Just be gentle not to press hard and irritate the skin.

I bought the 3" for our 14 lb. dog. It came today and I loaded it up with kibble, rolled it around a bit until some food came out so she knew what the point was, then let her at it. She's not real keen on the other toys she has to retrieve treats from but she loved it! This is how she's going to get her food from now on so it gives her a bit of a daily challenge. I like that you can increase or decrease the difficulty. The 3" is fine, at some point I may get a 5" just so it holds more food. Haven't had a problem with it getting stuck under furniture yet but she's not super aggressive with it. I bought the 3" for our 14 lb. dog.

I think it would be pretty tight for an 18#, because our mini schnauzer is 12# now and she has to really curl up in it and because I reinforced it, I can still bike with her, but it does tend now to sag. I am now going to get a bike trailer to pull her in so she can have more room. She does still love her back pack, and jumps in it when she sees it, and doesn't want to get out.

Yes it should. We have a 45kg dobe who pulls like a cart horse and it is very stable.

Our mini Aussie is 17 lbs. And did just fine. The carrier is well built. If you can get your pet in the carrier it can handle the weight.

It depends on her size but I wouldn't have very high expectations. My dog had stuffing flying out if it within an hour. :(

It can, but I'm not sure it would be comfortable for her due the weight of the cylinder. Have you tried a back pack? Has her oxygen supplier offered any solutions; sometimes they can be helpful. You could get a carrier on wheels (similar to those traveling suitcases, then she would only have to pull it and not worry about the weight shifting on her body.

It works great for my 2 Yorkies. I had to safety pin the 2 zippers together because they figured out how two open it. My 8 pound girl is very agile and a trouble maker too.

No this will be too small for her- might be ok for a very short time only but I would get a larger crate.

The pet carrier we purchased has worked well for us. Our dog is 20 lbs.and we could have used a bigger one, but it works. We ride a trike and it straps on th carrier rack real good. We wish we could have gotten any colorbut black it is to hot.

My Cavi is 25lbs. She fits in it but we have yet to get her to actually use it without struggling out of it.

I believe it's a combined weight limit of 100lbs. So you should be good for a bit! We love ours. Our daughter is over 50lbs and it's really easy pulling her.

I have walked up and down it myself and I am "slightly" over 117lb! The bigger problem you might have is convincing her to use it. It has no sides and the carpet is pretty smooth underfoot. My 18 lb Bichon avoids it like it is evil. Yes I tried all the training tips but it didnt work for my dog. So it sits in a corner. The best use we have found for it thusfar has been helping us slide two upholstered wing chairs up to the second floor via our stairway.

i think you would be ok with this carrier. It works well for our cat and she is about 6-8 lbs. Is very open so they dont feel so trapped.

I have a small peekapoo/yorkie of about 5lbs. This is perfect for her. It sits about 5in. off the floor and has good support at the corners and some support on the underside. It should work fine for your puppy for quite some time.

It should be okay, def smaller than I expected but I think a 20 lb dog would be okay if not too long or overweight, not sure what kind of carrier you have, very round not oblong....

I am thinking she would be a little too small for it to support her. Also there is a learning curve to keep yourself upright using this and I am not sure at 10 months she would be capable of that. Of course you could always try it, just stay very very close + keep your hands on her. She will grow into it and they are a wonderful tool even if she is not quite ready for it at this time.
