Do dogs feel better after being brushed?

Should you brush your dog before or after a bath?

We recommend using the FURminator deShedding Tool 1-2 times a week for 10-20 minutes each session. You may need to use the deShedding Tool more frequently during heavy shedding seasons. Before each use, you will want to read the deShedding Tool instructions completely. Also, your dog should be free of mats and tangles.
