Suprman Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi all, I have a question about grooming... my BCs tail in particular. I use a "Furminator" which does a good job on getting the undercoat out on her body but what should I do about her tail? It looks like she has an undercoat in her tail... is it and should I try to brush it out? Her tail hair is VERY thick right now... not sure if it is standard practice to brush the tail like you do on the body. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertranger Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Be careful with the furmninator. They can strip a coat very quickly. Try a good conditioner on her after a bath and try brushing with a rake instead of a slicker or stripper brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to be careful on what I put on her for baths... she is allergic to just about everything as far as shampoos. We ahve to give her a prednisone everytime we bath her or she scratches like crazy for 24 hours. We have a standard rack... maybe I'll use it once and see what it does. Thanks!

in2adventure Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 try Buddy Wash by Cloud Star. Great stuff The rake combs work really well too. I use one on my guys and it's fab for pulling out the under coat without damaging the outer coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 My Shoshone is allergic to lots of stuff. I use Orvus Washing Paste for her. It's unscented and very concentrated, I dilute it for easier application. You'll find it in the equine supply aisle at farm/ranch supply stores. And it's cheap, a $6 bottle lasts us for months.

MrRipley Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I brush Rip's tail with a wire slicker brush. It gets the loose hair out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
