Coat King - Really Silly Q

[julsngraham]

Hi Folks

I got my Coat King today - I presume it only takes out the dead hair -  had a wee practice and it was taking out loads.?

i also ordered a spratts comb as recommended on here so gonna try it out

hes only been to the groomers - 3 weeks ago but she did say there was a lot more to come out..

Coat kings are great for removing hair, But I think they do tend to cut the hair so all hair removed might not be just dead hair. The spratts comb is great for removing puppy fluff

ooooooooh really - I'll get the comb out then..  I've jsut had a go at the head its a lot smoother but I think you are right and maybe it cuts it as well - UHOH..  he could end up looking a bit odd - my OH is scissor happy so i am going to hide these implements from him

first time i ever did daisy with a ck you could have stuffed a cushion with what came out of her 

as the ck gets older and more blunt the better it gets - so keep going

I would try using a Mikki Scraper - the blue one as it takes out the dead hair.  I find a Coat King sometimes takes too much coat, especially a puppy's coat.

oh no - I just bought the coat king - maybe I be careful then

I got worried when I first read that the coat king "cuts" the coat - but if you aren't intending to show your dogs, then it really is a fantastic little tool 

If used long term, it "might" cause a few areas to curl, although I haven't really noticed; and bear in mind the alternatives -  if the coat kind didn't exist, then Molo would no doubt be clipped because there is no way I have the patience to hand strip

Where can i get a Mikki scraper from? i've never seen one before

As Sarah25 said you can get a Mikki Scraper from Pets at Home.  Make sure you get the blue one as the red one is for courser haired dogs.
