Just bought a Coat King
« on: September 12, 2008, 09:08:43 PM »
After seeing Ailsa's Twix, I decided to buy a Coat King for Gari. He is so curly and I just want to tidy him up a bit. I tried it on him for 5 minutes earlier and got an incredible amount of hair out! :o

What I was wondering, is how much do I dig it in? I don't want to hurt him, so I was doing it really lightly, he kept turning round and looking at it as if to say "What are you doing to me now, for goodness sake?"! :005:

It's from here  http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/21stcenturybazaar/

It seems good, but I think I will have to buy various pairs of scissors too if I want to groom at home, and not sure yet what to get! :D

 I dont do it that gently but neither do I push it into the coat, it just glides through. Lily adores having it done. I only do her once every 4-6 weeks as I dont want her coat to get wiry which I've heard can happen with overuse.

you don't have to use to much pressure, just run it through the coat like a comb, remember to take the hair out frequently as it blocks it up, oh and be even with it, don't go to mad over one area  ;)

I let the coat king go through the coat of its own accord, I don't push. I think that way you have less chance of breaking the coat.

Also don't go over one area continuously for too long as they can cause capillary bleeding.
