Would this work on the longer hair on the hindquarters and tail of a Keeshond? I'm pretty sure it would work on the rest of her coat.

I have a long-hair German Shepherd and she has a very bushy tail and hindquarters. I have had no issues combing her tail and hindquarters with this brush, I just have to remove the hair from the "teeth" of the comb more frequently...my best approach was to brush small sections of her tail and hindquarters at a time since matting in the undercoat can be missed. Hope this answers your question.

I'm no expert on dog grooming, but I don't think that this particular brush would work well for a Keeshond. I have a Beagle mix. Her outer coat is 1 inch at the longest. I believe these are called slicker brushes because they are used on short, slick coats. The wire bristles are only about 1/4 inch long with a slight angle at the end. I hope this is helpful.

I have a lab mix and it worked wonders on her thick coat. She looks like a different dog!

I believe it would work well. I was just recently introduced to this brush and to a rake. I had previously used a Firmenator on our mini-aussie. There has been a great improvement in the texture of his coat since I started using the rake first and followed that by the slicker brush. It's easy to use, and my aussie stands still for it and seems to like it. I also use thinning shears on the hindquarters and tail, which gives a trim, but not close-cut look.

I actually use this brush in conjunction with the FURminator brush because my dog's hindquarters and tail have the bushiest hair.

Long coat does seem to matter. I just trim the coat where the prongs of the bark collar go. That works for my dog.

I have a Golden Retriever and she has mostly hair over 2 inches, but some shorter on her back. I have the long hair version and it works great for her.

It should. We use it on our tabby, who has medium length hair, but also on our spaniels who wear their hair long in the withers and flanks. I have been satisfied, and I think the animals are too. The cat has been shedding rapidly as we transition to our wet season (Florida), and one of the spaniels too, and I think it helps.

I use it on my Argentinian Dogo. They are just as large but he has short hair. It covered all of him we used it 5 times.

We have 2 cats both short hair. 1 is thicker than the other. It gets down to the skin. My guess would be it would work. You might have to take your time. I have had a long hair cat before and I would have liked to try it on him. Both of my cats love the furminator. I hope this helps.

I'm only guessing here, but I think they would work. My dog, a Gordon Setter, has very fine hair instead of the rough fur you think of with a big dog. The clippers work well on her . . . . tho man! does it ever get all over the house!! (NOT the clippers fault!!)

I have not tried the comb on a dog. I think it would depend on how dense your dogs coat is. With that said if I needed to use a lice/ nit comb on my Sheltie, I dont think I'd pick this one. My dogs coat is too dense. The comb leaves very little space between its teeth. I would go to the pets stores first to see what they recommend. Or do a google search. Good luck with your dog.

I use it for my great dane, who has very short hair. The prongs are less than an inch long, so you might consider looking at the prong extensions they sell separately. Great product for me!!

I don't think it would work so well on short hair because the barrel of the brush is really large. I think it would work better on medium link to long here

I can say that it works on my wool coat - I have no idea about doll hair. . .

Yes it will definitely work for that breed. It the dog has really curly hair it would get caught but for my Golden's it work great so a short hair would be just fine.

Yes! It works fantastic with long haired dogs or dogs with a thick undercoat.

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.

It does work well on short hair dogs. I have a papillon and a german short hair and both have had positive responses to the collar. Hope this helps!

I think that my dog is a cattle dog (she is a rescue) and the brush worked great on her. I was amazed at the amount of hair that came off of her.

I got the short hair for a cavalier. I had doubt and got that one. Works well!!!
