I have very furry chow chows, would you recommend this on them. They get a lot of dead undercoat.

Iwould. My pyramid has a great deal of undercoat. I use a long toothed comb on snarls, than this, followed by a slicker brush... just so he looks pretty. Good luck.

I've owned this little guy for 3 years. I washed him on gentle, cold, by himself at least twice and haven't had any issues. I do let him air-dry, though. The fur will be a slightly different texture after he comes out but it's not bad.

black e coat is ok, but can be less durable then the gold-zinc there will be no problem with your two dogs fitting, have had 3, 11lb mini doxies in mine still had sufficient play room available

Yes, stock coat German Sheperds is where I discovered this brush. It works amazing! I won't use anything else on dogs with thick undercoats again. I would get the wider teeth version especially if they have a lot of snarls.

I have a chow shepherd mix and she managed alright but my friends mountain feist had trouble.

It would be hard to use as a straight comb-thru. Those teeth are tight enough that baby fleas are caught. If your chow is full maned I think it would be very difficult to use on that even if groomed well. It would be hard to use.

I have two large dogs, Alaskan Malamute and a Siberian husky. They have a lot of hair around their necks. The collars are very large and adjust to fit. I would recommend walking them on a leash to train them. Walk them over to the area with the collars on and allow them to hear the beeping of the collars. Once you hear that pull them back into the safe area. Once or twice of this they learn. My two both were shocked before they learned. The biggest issue we have is when they find an area where the wire is close to the surface. They dig it up and bit it and we have to replace it. I love it more for cost then anything. Once they know to stay away they do. Right now ours is not working because there is a break in the line and they both still do not go near the area the line is buried. I hope this helps.

It works well with my German Shepherd, I'm not sure how much of an undercoat your lab has, but he/she has thick hair, this will work well.

It might be a little harsh. My dogs are Labrador Retriever's ~ 80lbs. The collars didn't last but a week or two. I had to send them back. I wouldn't recommend.

As a former collie owner I suggest you look for a rolled leather harness or collar. Almost any other material will cause matting on a dog with that type of coat.

I personally love it! It ranks very high on my list in terms of quality. I feed it to my German Shepherd (with s very sensitive stomach) and my Patterdale Terrier. Both love it and do great on it.

I saw that the other response says the teeth are too far apart to effectively collect fur. I use a rubber curry sort of affair for that but this baby is the best for handling tangles and matted fur.

We have both and two of our dogs, shorter haired, love the Furnimator, as does the short-haired cat. The Border Collie has a very long coat with a lot of undercoat, and I had tried several devices including the Furminator on him The only one he would accept without growling is the Grooma comb, which has poor ergonomics for me for this job. He would not accept the Grooma rake, in which the teeth are more vertical in use.He has no problem with the Oster rake. For me the Oster rake was an excellent purchase.

I think your dog would enjoy this one. Even more if your dog loves water. My 2 puppies love this and even more today because of the snow outside. I would give it a try and if he turns his face away maybe put a little bit of peanut butter under it. Good luck!

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.

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.

I love these for my Yorkies. I;m not a professional--maybe you should ask a professional what they prefer.
