Ruff! Ruff! Hello, my fluffy pack. Today I'll be doing a review on the best brush for a heavy shedding dog.As you all may know by now, I'm very fluffy. Just like my name says and I shed a lot. I leave a trail of hair wherever I go.
My hair is all over mommy's clothes, it's on the couches, my bed and Buffy says he eats at least a few every day. Must be his own hair! Grrr!
Apparently Buffy does not shed, but that's just because he can't be blamed for anything. I'm always on the couch so it's easy to point fingers at me.
To be honest, it's not a big problem. Who cares? I love spreading little pieces of myself everywhere.
Unfortunately, not everyone sees it that way. So cleaning up my hair is something we have to do.
Mommy is the slave around here and has to make sure my hair does not end up in the food. You missed a spot slave Renza!
I went ahead and looked for some deshedding tools or brushes to get rid of my loose hair.
Anyway, Renza can use it when she tries to groom us. It will make cleanup easier for her. I know right? I'm super sweet. I'm not mommy's sweetie-pie for nothing.
I even help her clean. Well, it's more like moral support, but she says I'm a good little helper. Staring and following her around to keep her company is my job.
If you don't want to eat your dog's hair, you can check out my list. I know some of you enjoy the taste of yummy doggie hair, so I'll see you when I publish my next post. Ruff! Ruff!
Best Brush for Heavy Shedding Dog
We'll be looking at four de-shedding brushes that have tons of good reviews. If you're in a hurry, check the table below and click on the product link to see the current price and what other people said.
1. Furminator de-shedding tool
The Furminator is apparently the holy grail when it comes to removing loose hair from your dog. It's a perfect coat de-shedder and gets tons of good reviews and the doggies seem to love it too.I bite my current brush and mommy has to give me something else to chew on while brushing me. It releases the hair by pushing a button like this one, but this one looks more like my comb and brush combined.
Let's look at some of its features plus pros and cons.
- High-quality stainless steel teeth rake through topcoat to safely and easily remove loose hair and undercoat
- Furejector button that releases hair from the brush
- Ergonomic handle that is comfortable and easy to use
- Available in all sizes and styles for dogs of different sizes and coat types
Pros:
- Effectively removes loose hair and undercoat on most dogs
- Does not damage top coat
- Reduces shedding
- Easy to use
- Durable, comfortable design
Cons:
- More expensive than other tools
- Breed and hair specific. If you have multiple dogs with different hair you have to buy one for each
There's a reason why the Furminator is the best-rated de-shedding brush and also why it's so expensive. It's made of good quality material and comes with a lot of great features that gets the job done.
For best results, it's recommended to deShed immediately after washing and drying your dog and to use only on a completely dry coat. Also, brush your dog outside to help reduce vacuum time in your home.
2. DakPets Deshedding Brush
The DakPets de-shedding brush is just as popular as the Furminator and also gets tons of good reviews.
It is a good option if you want something cheaper.
This de-shedding brush does a great job removing hair from dogs and a lot of doggie parents are happy with the product.
Unlike the Furminator dog brush that comes in different models depending on the size of your dog or hair type, the DakPets is a one tool fits all.
Let's looks at its features.
DakPets Deshedding Brush Features:
- Non-irritation 100mm-4 inch heavy duty replaceable stainless steel pet comb
- Durable rubber handle for a non-slip grip
- Comes in blue, yellow and pink colors
- Sizes are small, medium and large
- For pets with short, medium or long hair
Pros:
- Not expensive
- Can be used for dogs and cats
- Removes loose dog or cat hair from undercoat while gaining shinier top coat
- Unconditional lifetime money back guarantee
- Suitable for pets with single and double coats
Cons:
- Handle not ergonomic
- Not for giant breeds and grooming-intensive pet coats
- No ejector to remove the hair from the brush.
I keep forgetting I'm the one that will be brushed with these things. Don't worry! I've gotten really good at hiding.
Plus she's really lazy so this brush will probably join my other brush in the bin of dog products that will never get used. Eat hair Renza! Eat hair!

Not as popular as the DakPets and Furminator, but it has more bristles and can hold more hair before you have to clean it.

Mommy threatened to shave me and renaming me Fluffless! The nerve. It was actually Buffy's idea. Double nerve!
Luckily she loves my fluff and is not too eager to get rid of it. Guess I'll be keeping my name and my fluff.
I'll see you soon my fluffies. Buffy is coughing up a furball again. Let me go tell mommy that he ate my hair. Geez, Buff! Stop eating everything!
