Question 1

Will the blade part get dull over time?  Using it every day on my Chihuahua's?

Accepted Answer

so far, the blade hasn't gotten dull and I use it often. I got it about 6 months ago.

Question 2

Can it be used on the chest and belly?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! The teeth on the EquiGroomer’s blade are very short so it’s perfectly safe to use anywhere on your pet’s body, even sensitive areas like their belly, chest, even paws! The teeth are designed to remove dead hair without ever touching the skin.

Question 3

Does it work for maltease or poddle type of dog?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the question! The EquiGroomer was designed to remove dead, unwanted hair from an animal's coat so although a Maltese or Poodle doesn't shed like most dogs, they do lose hair and get a buildup of dust and dander in their coats. The EquiGroomer will do a nice job at removing that which will really bring out the shine in their coats.

Question 4

I have the furminator and my cat hates it!  is this a better option?  although i try to be extremely gentle, i feel as though this is just too much.

Accepted Answer

We believe it's a better option for a number of reasons. Your cat most likely dislikes the Furminator for a number of reasons: 1) the long tines pull on both her fur and skin which is uncomfortable and makes her feel trapped; 2) the tines may be scratching her skin which is also very uncomfortable; 3) the hairs may be getting caught between the tines which could lead to them being cut or pulled out.

The EquiGroomer was designed to remove loose, dead hair from the top not the bottom so as you run it over her coat, she'll just think she's being pet. Each tooth on the EquiGroomer's blade has a tiny barb at its end which snags dry, scaly hair and leaves healthy hair behind so you'll never have to worry about taking out too much or damaging the coat in any way. When there's no more dead hair to remove, the EquiGroomer stops working. Daily use will not only keep your cat's coat in excellent condition, but will help reduce hairballs and dust bunnies! It does a great job on long-haired cats and dogs too.

When you first start using the EquiGroomer, it may take a bit of time for your cat to realize that grooming is not stressful anymore but we guarantee that within a short period of time she'll actually look forward to it. In fact, she may even show you her appreciation by purring.
