Would this work well on my Blue Heeler? Or would different style work better? He has super thick medium length hair.

I use this on my Australian Shepherd and it works great. It's not a traditional Furminator so it doesn't cut their hair.

Dear Kat,You might need a bit stronger one for a super thick coat. For my Pom it works fine, the handle moves slightly ,but doesn't get in the way.

Either this one or a standard furminator I would think. These are not terribly expensive so you might try this first and then consider the standard if you need a finer comb.

I can only say that it works very well on thick medium length hair based on my dog.Its the best created tool for heavy shedders

I got a medium for a 35lb Border terrier. He had a big head. Kind of square. but he hated it. So it didnt work for me. Good luck

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 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.

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 a large dog and this works wonders for him, but I don't think he has as much hair as a Pom. The long hair tool is about 4 inches across so it gets a large area per brush.

I used it on my adult great dane with no problems. He has short hair so i don't know how well it would work on a dog with long hair. The collar is plenty long enough for him but im not sure it would be with long fur.

I found my blades don't heat up too terrible. I did purchase the cool down spray and an extra set of blades so I could change them out if they did. I have a cocker spaniel and his coat was really thick and they did an excellent job of grooming him. He is no longer with me sadly.

Honestly I can't say. I have a Yorkie and keep him fairly short. His hair does get fairly thick in spots and they work fine.

My Aussies have long hair and thick under coats and it works great. I am not sure if it is the right tool for long silky hair like a yorkie.

I bought the blue one..for thick hair and it didn't work for me. I was very dissapointed.

I have used it that way on a limited basis. My dog rides in the car with me a lot so there is lots of hair. Not really sure it would work for that.

I think it would work fine. We have a 90lb Bull Mastiff/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and it works great for him. He doesn't have the thick hair, but is a large dog and reacts to the collar. We actually only use the vibrate function, since that gets his attention and has been an excellent training tool.

My dogs hair is mostly just at or over 2 inches. portions of the hind quarters and all of the tail are much longer. I got the long hair version and it works fine. Not sure if it makes that much difference.

If he is short haired then a medium would be ok. I have a Shtz Tzu and even though he has a lot of hair it was too big for him.

I've been using it on all 3 of my dogs, one of which is a 100 pound ridgeback mix. I don't think the size of the dog matters as much as the length of the dog hair. Both the ridgeback & the beagle have short hair so I don't get as much hair from them when I brush. The hound shepherd mix (around 85 lbs) has long hair. This tool is amazing for him. I have to pull the hair off of it after every couple of swipes, but that's a good thing, right? I find the desheddinator very effective.
