Have you ever given your dog the Furminator grooming service at Petsmart?

I have a 100 lb Lab that sheds like crazy and although my GF loves the dog, she doesn't the hair that builds up in my house, week to week. The local Petsmart offers a Furminator grooming service - I'm curious how long this helps eliminate shedding? Also, if I buy my own Furminator, how often should I brush out my dog with the tool to keep lots of fur out of the house?
 
it just gets the under coat out... i suggest doing it yourself. an expert doesn't have to do it and it saves u money. do it outside!
 
You mean they charge extra for using a brush that makes it easier for them to do? ROFL.
A furminatot doesn't do anything that any other brush doesn't, it just does it easier and faster.

Come on now, tell us what your Lab really weighs
 
I have the Furminator it is an awesome brushing tool i use it on my Doberman and my cats. I would buy your own Furminator because Petsmart will charge way more for the "Furminator Grooming Service" then what it actually is. Then once you have your Furminator i would brush your dog at least 3 times a week but if you can maybe once a day. Labs shed a lot I know and they stink so you should bathe your lab once a month. Hope tis helps, Kate. P.S and maybe you could buy on of those small hand held vaccums for quick clean up on furniture or whatever.
 
The furminator should work pretty well on a lab's coat. I do not suggest the furminator for a long or even medium haired dog. It works great on my Doberman but not on my long haired german shepherd or my great pyrenees. I would think that you could do just as good of a job as they could a petsmart. I would suggest getting your own and using it about once or twice a week. I have discovered that sometimes over brushing is very hard on their skin. Be sure not to push to hard with the brush because it will cause irritation.
 
No and never will, frankly i think the furminator destroys the coat of some dogs. I will stick to my fine toothed hacksaw blade works great, my dogs love it, and does not harm the coat.

I frankly think the furminator is a waste of money.
 
Buy a furminator and use it daily. Wont take that long to keep the undercoat under control. The longer you leave it the undercoat will build up.
