Will this brush remove the overhairs on a bullmastiff? I have a furminator that removes his underhair just fine, but need something for the overhair.

No it will not. This is not the kind of brush for a short/smooth coat dog. A "zoom groom" works really well to remove the hairs you're talking about and you can use it while giving your dog a bath to really rub the shampoo in and get hair out while bathing him/her as well.

It does a great job on our Chow's overcoat so possibly. I realize they have very different coats. I have been very happy with this brush.

this brush has boar bristles, and i only use it on dry hair; if your hair is of any length, i don't think it would be a good detangler-not like a pick or wide comb.

I use the short hair tool for my black lab mix. That was the suggested one from furminator when I was buying.

I don't know - we are using it primarily on a wire hair terrier for stripping dead hairs. But, when we do that the other two (Australian Shepherd's) want in on the action and they like it, seems to thin out undercoat.I agree with makoola - go to Mar's website and check it out.

I use my FURminator as brushes and as de-shedding tools. I have small FURminators for my 2 small dogs and large ones for the 2 long-haired large dogs. If your small dog has short hair be sure a get the brush for short hair. My dogs truly enjoy their "FURminator time"; I use a small dog, short hair one on my Jack Russell terrier, a small dog long hair brush on my Shitzu , and large dog long hair FURminators on my Chow/Lab mixes. I believe the FURminators are well worth the money.

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 believe it's a good tool for a golden. Its cheaper than a furminator works just as well. My border/st. Bernard mix gets brushed frequently and it gets to the undercoat.

I like the rake for general grooming. It doesn't bother my pet and removes loose fur and reduces shedding. The Furminator is finer-toothed and is less comfortable for my pet. I did find it very useful, however, when my pet got a bunch of burs in his fur (from running around in some wild brush). The Furminator worked very well at removing them.

I have a lab mix and a bullmastif mix. You will have to shave the hair off their neck if you have a longer haired dog. It does work though.

I have a Rottie that didn't like brushes and combs, tried to bite them every time. Tried the furminator and he didn't even flinch. There are different Furminators for long and short hair, small, large and giant dogs. It was worth the price. Removes massive amounts of hair.

I would go with short hair comb fulminator , I have a golden Retriever & a Bernese mountain dog & was sold a short hair fulminator by mistake ,It worked on both my dogs fine until I discovered the error & went to long hair one ,don't notice a lot of difference in the performance think the long hair comb does it easier & little deeper job on there long hair coats of dogs like mine ,their coats are long hair compared to a lab .Hope this helps

I have seen a decrease in hair balls. I am constantly amazed at how much fur comes up with the FURminator. Even when I brush them every day piles and piles of fur can be seen in the brush. Pretty awesome.

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.

The Furminator worked great for me...I recommend that you give it a try...CP-West Virginia

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!

The brush is big enough for the large breed dog, but not for the short hair one which I have. This W6110 grooming rake will not rake the under coat of the dog, it just kind bush the hair.

This particular model that I bought was specifically ordered for a long haired dog (my German Shepherd). I ALSO have a Jack Russell terrier, and have tried the undercoat rake on him, but the teeth are too long. That said, I would imagine that Oster has a model specifically desigend for short hair dogs like a Jack Russell. I have not sought out one of those because my Jack Russell does not shed nearly as bad as the German Shepherd. So I would suggest you search for the short haired version of this model. From my experience It is an excellent de-shedding tool and will not make your pet constantly scratch himself....a common problem with the competitive "Furminator" which tends to scratch the pet's skin.
