I have a french bulldog with thick coat.. Would you recommend this product?

I think it is fine. While dense, your dog's hair is short. I have a Portuguesee Water Dog and there is just too much hair.

Yes, as the French Bulldog has short hair this brush would be a gift to both of you. This is a wonderful brush, easy to use, and I would recommend the small one. The small one is good for getting around the neck, leg and hind quarters. Plus, one push of the button hair is gone and you continue with your grooming. My dogs love grooming - I have two Rottweilers who have an inch long thick coat. Hope this will help you.

I have a 60lb Husky, the double for me. If your dog has an undercoat then double for sure. I have a deeper comb and I don't use it, I use this instead, and the slicker brush.

Yes, for a large breed dog and great for reaching into the under coat without snagging. I have a 100 pound Pyrenees shepherd mix.

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.

The harness has not bothered my dog, and she now has two of the harnesses. However, while my dog's coat is short, it is also thick...thick in the sense that you have to work to see her skin. This answer might not have helped, but I wanted to give you an accurate answer.

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.

You might try using the largest comb first to kind of thin out the coat and then go back and use a smaller comb to finish with. Try brushing the dog first also.

I have a German shepherd also with a thick coat. The material is similar to what tents are made of...its thick enough to be durable but not so thick that it makes the dog too hot

I have a french bulldog so I bought the 1/2 inch first but I felt like it was a little thick and heavy for her since I was going to have her wear the lead around the house all the time. So then I bought the 3/8 inch and I think it's perfect for her. I'm thinking you should get the 1/2 inch because your lab will probably grow into the lead and the 3/8 will be too small. I would also suggest the 6 foot instead of the 4 because it's always good to have more rope then not enough. Sometimes I tie my frenchie to things to make her stay so the 6 foot works well.

I have an 85# golden retriever 'pup' 8 months old, and the collar slowed him down the first few times, but his coat is so thick, he doesn't care about the points on the collar. I am considering a shock collar instead to try to get some control-I have had several large dogs before and not had a problem being the leader- each dog is different I guess. I also am hoping when he is neutered it will help too. You may need something more powerful to master your dog before he gets any bigger-at 13 weeks he should not be aggressive-your best answers may be in talking to your vet for recommendations in training. The DVD's with this system (I have found) are unrealistic in the results you can get from this collar.

My dog has a very thick long coat and I cut it down to a very low cut. It does a great job without heating up.

I use it straight it works better, and the fresh smell lasts a lot longer, I used this on my Akita first, he was double coated and his fur stayed just as soft as when he was puppy. I know have a black lab, and her fur is so soft and shines great.

My dog has very thick hair also , it works great and does not overheat , make sure you get the proper size blade you want for your dogs hair length , do not get the combs they do not work well at all .

Hi Meredith, I've used this on my puppy's eyes and beard and so far it's working but I have to say his staining wasn't too awful to begin with but he didn't have them when I bought him so I got obsessed with the 'must have a pretty puppy' idea. My vet recommended Angel Eyes but wasn't comfortable using antibiotics. This is all natural so if nothing it couldn't hurt him. I haven't tried it on his coat but I don't see why it wouldn't work it's all the same hair and you're using it for the same purpose just differnt location. I'm happy with the results so far, and it's not cheap, it's pretty expensive so I could understand your needing to be sure before you use it. I do hope I've helped at least a little bit... Good Luck :)

My Shepard has a thick coat, but medium hair. There's two different sets of contacts. I use the short, you may need the long. They're really easy to swap out.

I would say yes. Of course, your personal success with the product will depend on the degree/type of dirt you're dealing with as well as your dog's coat, as some dogs shed dirt and odor better than others. I find it to be a very good product for those in-between groomings.

My shepherd mix has a long, very thick, double coat. I just make sure that the collar is tight enough for the prongs (there are two sets, one for longer hair) to make contact with skin, and I check periodically to make sure the collar hasn't loosened.
