I've never tried docs brand but I love the price of this and when people meet my three dogs of three different coat types the first thing they ask is what I feed because their coats are so beautiful and nice. I love the cut back on shedding and the way my senior lost grey!

I have a cavalier king charles and his hair is long but before using the coat king it was long and had soft tufty downy hair as well. The coat king was fabulous, it got rid of all the soft downy tufty bits and left his coat sleek, smooth and shiny. My dog also did not object to having himself brushed with this instrument. I have seen pictures of a brussels griffon being groomed with the mars coat king online, and from what I saw, did a fabulous job. The first time I used it it took a while, I did it in stages over an hour. Now I use the coat king about once a month. The good thing is that the my dogs new hair that is growing is smooth and he is not getting that 'tufty' look.

They both give me a build up feeling by the end of the day. I would try the 10 lite that came out. I haven't found it yet but I'm looking. I have thick hair so for this stuff to weight it down - it'll prob do worse for you. I did find that the keratin was a softer feel than the regular.

Jackie, There are better products out there for long haired dogs and cats. I do own this tool but rarely use it any more because the curved corners on the bottom make it hard to get under mats that are really close to the skin. For those, I use the Safari De-Matting comb for dogs because it is sharper and there is less pulling involved. You just have to be more careful with the Safari tool because it has exposed sharp edges. I've scraped myself a few times, but never my puppy. the tips are rounded to wedge under the mat so it doesnt' hurt the pet. For the really thick and advanced mat, your best tool is going to be very sharp, pointed scissors that slice upward through the mat one slice at a time (do NOT cut straight across the bottom of the mat if you want to preserve some hair....poke through the bottom and slice straight up to save as much hair as possible) The multi tooth de-matting tools like the Mars and Safari are only good on fairly loose mats in the early stages of matting so that you don't tug on poor kitty or puppy's skin while trying to slice through.

There is no difference. This is hair serum that is great for conditioning, anti-frizz and helps against heat damage. I use it daily before blow drying and while I flat iron my hair. Works great!!

I think you should go with the long hair version. A Griffon seems to me to be in the middle with a semi thick coat which the long haired one would probity work better. I have Shepherd mix and went with the long hair and it works great.

I use the Ultimate Hip & Joint, and my dogs coat has gotten much softer and more supple in the past 3 weeks.

My understanding is that this is just a newer more improved version that primarily focuses on hair health/growth. Having used both, I honestly did not see much difference between the two.

The ingredients are the same, it is made in the same business location and one is the parent company of the other. You be the judge. Now, do I think it works to grow hair or grow it faster? No. It's a so-so conditioner that has no effect whatsoever on overall hair growth. I tossed mine as I had better conditioners that did more for my hair. It its cheaper than Ovation, however.

I think it is similar to Show Sheen and based on the same similar formula. Do note that another reviewer said it caused her dogs hair to break, silicon products will do this.

I think the double row is MUCH better than the single for dogs with thick and/or long fur; short hair no so much. I was combing my Shepherd last night with this comb/rake, and the hair was kept coming off and coming off. It works great, and am so happy I bought it. Good Luck!

I have a wire hared fox terrier myself and do not have any experience with collies. However, I think that while thinning an undercoat it will also shorten the main coat as well. At least that's what this tool does to my dog's hair. Probably not the look you are going after. There must be other brushes that can primarily thin an undercoat alone. Perhaps a designated undercoat rake would be more suitable for your dog: Evolution® Double Row Undercoat Rake with Rotating Pins

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.

I have not noticed any difference. However, my dog is a min schnauzer and doesn't really shed very much. The shampoo makes him smell great for a long time.

I've used both and can't tell any difference. So I'd say, yes. Also, I think my hair grows faster and longer with less shed when I use it. It's not a miracle product, but I like it and notice a difference.

Absolutely, it is just like a conditioner for the coat as well it makes it soft, shiny amd manageable. A little bit goes a long way. You can use as a leave in or rinse out. Your dog will love it, And so will you!!

I've never used reg JBCO., matter of fact this was my first time using BCO. A friend told me abt it and said it would be good 2 use and might help the sparse edges I'm dealing with. Thus far I've seen no difference, my edges are still very thin and I'm using this product, Biotin, and Hair Infinity. My hair overall is growing like crazy but my edges aren't.
