I worked in a grooming salon for a long while. I can say that this is the best fur brush I have ever used. It looks goofy at first, but it takes out mountains of undercoat.

Get them into training ASAP. They can be a stubborn, headstrong, energetic breed. In the wrong hands, this could be a disastrous combination.

They have razor sharp puppy teeth that they like to put to good use. You will most likely end up with some handsome red scratches on your legs/arms/face/etc. Do not fret, this is normal.

If you did not know already, this breed is prone to hip dysplasia. The occurrence of hip dysplasia is based on mainly genetics, weight, and exercise. Hopefully you got your pup from a good breeder who screens the parents' hips and elbows, as orthopedically sound parents will more likely produce orthopedically sound pups. You can also help reduce the likelihood of HD by keeping your GSD lean and on a healthy food. I recommend Victor Nutra Pro here https://www.chewy.com/victor-select-nutra-pro-active-dog/dp/129281 You can find other good foods on Dog Food Advisor. In addition, here is a chart that illustrates the different body types of dogs: http://www.dummies.com/pets/dogs/how-to-evaluate-your-dogs-weight/ This is just a general guideline of course - the healthy body types will vary slightly by breed. But this is a good starting point. Last point is exercise. Don't put too much stress on their joints at a young age. Ie, don't run them too much, have them jump too much, etc. Keep the exercise low impact at this stage.

I recommend feeding your pup from a Long Wobler, as they can tend to eat fast. You can find them on Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ALMW0M/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496502891&sr=8-1&keywords=kong+wobbler

I recommend brushing out their fur with a rake and Kong Zoom Groom. You can also find them on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0062Z0RPA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1496502790&sr=8-3&keywords=dog+rake+brush and https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002AR19Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496502846&sr=8-1&keywords=zoom+groom&dpPl=1&dpID=51QkRAxrf0L&ref=plSrch

I would highly recommend crate training. It's one of the best things you could do for your dog. I like the Midwest 48" crate here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000QFWCLY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496503032&sr=8-1&keywords=midwest%2Bicrate%2Bfolding%2Bmetal%2Bdog%2Bcrate&th=1&psc=1

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey, I've got a Great Dane who has really short hair. For him we us a zoom groom which is a kinda medium-soft rubber brush. It works pretty well for him, and I would imagine it wouldn't be too painful for any dog. Ours has lasted a pretty long time too (over 2 years) so they're also pretty durable.

This works amazingly. I know it's not conventional, but I use it on my short hair and it gets a lot of the loose hairs out

u/tomchuk · 3 pointsr/dogs
  • Dishes: should be stainless steel and washed every time you use them. I feed raw in big, frozen chunks which slow my dog down.
  • Collars: I don't trust the little 3/4" plastic slide release buckles on most collars. Depending on the material they have a 100-200lb breaking strength and can be brittle in the cold. Fine for a little dog, but my 130lb guy gets a 2" double layer leather with welded steel hardware AKA an agitation collar. This Collar is incredibly well made and a great value. In regards to your opinion on "shock collars" - remote stimulation collars are very effective training tools when used properly. The idea is not to cause pain, it's to use it at a stimulation level that your dog barely notices and train him that that sensation means you want his attention. I use mine at a level that just barely tingles the back of my hand and can recall my dog when he's out of earshot. I can also use it to get his attention when off leash in noisy areas and give him hand signals. I use the vibrate function like one would use a clicker - to mark behavior that I want to encourage. Granted, most people use them totally incorrectly.
  • Leash: I use a 3/4" by 5' biothane leash. It's strong, grippy and has a O-ring on the handle for tying your dog to a parking meter, etc. Retractable leashes aren't allowed under my local leash laws (though many people still use them). I hate them. You are not 100% in control of your dog unless it is locked and at that point, you might as well use a regular leash.
  • Toys: Tuffy's Mega Ring last decently well for a soft toy. My dog goes through kong extremes in a week and most "indestructible" toys in a matter of minutes or hours. For me, it's all about cheap toys. If you can train your dog not to swallow bits that he rips off, mine loves big, orange, traffic cones which you can pick up for $2.
  • Crates: Depends on the dog. Mine can be alone at home for 16 hours and not "investigate" the garbage, bark, or get into any trouble at all. We've trained him to open the door and relieve himself in a corner of our patio if he needs to. He also gets 2 hours of vigorous off-leash exercise every morning and an hour walk in the evening - he's all about a nice quiet day on the couch.
  • Brushes: Not a fan of the furminator - it cuts hair, not brushes it. The sticky silicone Kong ZoomGroom is great at pulling off loose hair/undercoat.
u/raisuchan · 3 pointsr/corgi

I'm in agreement with /u/curigcorgis. A Furminator can cut and break the undercoat furs if you comb too vigorously and too often. That's not something I'm willing to risk, so while I have a Furminator (purchased before I knew any better) I don't ever use it on my corgi.

A Kong Zoom Groom plus a steel greyhound comb is more than enough to deal with loose fur. The Zoom Groom is a rubber brush and is outrageously effective in getting loose fur out. It also doubles as a good shampoo latherer. After, I then comb away the loose furs that the zoom groom caused.

Another great tool is a high velocity blow dryer. Think of it like a hair dryer on crack. Or a shop vac in reverse. It's been a game changer for us after baths and is a must have to deal with heavy shedding times.

u/railaway · 3 pointsr/dogdiscussions

I love my zoom groom! I have a greyhound who also sheds regularly, and she appears to see it as a massage, while all the hair gets brushed out and left outside. I usually rub it in circles to get the most hair out at once.

u/designgoddess · 2 pointsr/DogCare

My pit mix is blowing out her coat now. Fur everywhere. My Pointers put her to shame. I sweep every day and I could build a dog from the pile. Not all dogs shed the same. Just keep up with the daily brushing. I use a rubber brush that the fur sticks to. They love it, my one boy brings it to me when he wants to be brushed. It must feel like a massage or something. This is the one I use. Do not shave your dog. It can really mess with their coat over time. When I switched my dog to a complete raw diet it did really cut down on the shedding, but it did not eliminate it. It was more noticeable durning the time of year when they're not blowing their coats.

u/gooberlx · 2 pointsr/germanshepherds

I prefer a shedding blade over a furminator. Seems less harsh and my girl hates it less.

Zoom Grooms and Slicker Brushes are good also.

Ultimately, the most helpful thing for me has been a high velocity dryer to just blast the damn hair right out.

u/GroomerGuy · 2 pointsr/IAmA

They are pretty low maintenance. Just the occasional bath, nail trim, and brush them with a rubber curry brush, I recommend this one http://www.amazon.com/KONG-ZoomGroom-Grooming-Brush-Boysenberry/dp/B0002AR19Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417920179&sr=8-1&keywords=Zoom+Groom

u/cpersall · 2 pointsr/dogs

I'm not a fan of furminators. I find they end up cutting the fur more than anything.

As recommended, give them a good bath and blow dry. That will loosen up most of it. I find my trusty comb (like this one ) works very well on my landlords lab, as well as a zoom groom.

u/fuck_roombas · 1 pointr/AskWomen

Try a zoom groom.

I had a very hairy cat...I took off about a lb of fur the first time I brushed him. Works well on dogs and cats!

This is what I was using. Before or after it just brings her oils up where if I don't use it shes clean for at least 2.5 - 3 weeks before I feel oil/grease and then I wash her on week 4.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015UE70PI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does something similar but doesn't seems to bring the oil up.

So you could be right, maybe not getting full contact with her skin. To be honest her fur is short but thick and it seems to just absorb the shampoo no matter how much I use.

u/speakstruth · 1 pointr/Rabbits

Now that I think about it, she does it sometimes. I've always thought she was trying really hard not to fall asleep when she does it.

I brush her about once a week. She hates the brush with a fiery passion though so it usually ends up with me chasing her around with it. This is the one I use. I found that she has really light hairs and they come out really easily so that brush is great because it doesn't scratch her and also picks up loose hair with static since it's rubber. She keeps really good care of her fur though so the brushing once a week is pretty sufficient.

I also give her a trim once in awhile when I notice that her hair is blocking her eyes (she tends to run into walls then but I've read that hair in front of the eyes can be helpful for albinos since they're more sensitive to light. maybe something particular to the rabbit then). She also gets hay stuck in her face fluff so I try to trim it down a bit. If you do this, be very careful of trimming the whiskers by accident. They'll grow back but they're important for a rabbits balance. I also trim down her butt fluff once she starts catching things (hay and stuff) in it.

You're in for a joyride once his heavy shed starts. :) I recommend investing in lots and lots of lint rollers. Especially if you have any black clothing. Cricket goes through a heavy shed once every three months (probably with the seasonal change) and a not as heavy shed every month. During any of her sheds but especially the heavy ones, you can basically see clouds of fluff drifting everywhere in my apartment. :)

Congrats on your bun though. Lots of binky's and love coming your way!

Edit: A quick warning on the brush thing. I've found that furminators and any metal brushes tend to pull out more hair than anything else. It might just be particular to my rabbit but be careful nonetheless!

u/imurkt · 1 pointr/RandomActsOfAB

Hair type : (previously) heavily damaged, split ends up to 3" long, oily scalp very dry ends and mid shaft (obviously). Now, heavily chemically treated (bleach), long, ridiculously thick and a ton of it, frizz. photo more hair

oddly enough what helped me the most was stealing my dogs silicon bath brush, called a zoom groom and cutting back the amount that I washed my hair. The brush really helped clean residue off my scalp which cut down on oil production plus not washing as often helped regulate the production so it wasn't oil city. I wash once a week now with Joico Moisture Recovery, which is a PH balanced shampoo and condition set, non AB. I wash after a cold oil treatment on my hair (sometimes I'll wrap it up in a hot towel and heat the oil while on the strand) and scalp for 12-48 hours depending on what my schedule allows. The oil treatment is a combination of jojoba oil, avocado oil, argan oil.

After the wash and condition I have combined those oils along with a bit of my conditioner and filtered water into a spray bottle to use as a leave in conditioner. I'll use that throughout the week to tame frizz and treat any dryness.

We use Merrick grain free pork and sweet potato. I am not sure if it's available outside of Texas though. We had good luck with Castor and Pollux Organix grain free, but we wanted to find something similar that used local ingredients. One thing to note is that we tried various formulas of Merrick until we found the one that produced the most solid stool. You might be able to find another Blue Buffalo formula that produces firmer stool.

We use Kong's Zoom Groom brush. It's great both for bath time and for regular brushing. It's gotten pretty hot here in Texas, so I take the hounds out to the courtyard in our apartment complex and brush them there. This brush gets handfuls of hair out of them!

u/dimesfordenim · 1 pointr/goldenretrievers

Congrats!! If you've never had a puppy before, my #1 recommendation is to get a trainer who will come to your house and work with you. They are more for you than for the dog. We did that and while it was really expensive, it was a blessing!

One thing our trainer told us is to let the puppy have access to only a little bit of the house at a time. A crate helps with that, but we didn't want it to feel like punishment and we wanted to be able to let him play around just as a dog in a controlled area. So we bought this playpen and zip tied it to the crate. You can also get linoleum to put underneath the playpen area, but make sure it's all one sheet (otherwise he'll chew on the ends). That also helps clean up potty mistakes!

Speaking of potty, we got a little bell to put on the door. We made him nudge it with his nose or paw (basically picked him up) every time we went out. Then when we finally let him explore more, he knew how to let us know he had to go. Of course, he also used it just as an excuse to go outside, so there's that.

You mentioned you're good to go on crates--did you get one that is life stages and lets you adjust how much room is available? Not a huge deal if not, but if you did, make sure you use it. They don't need a whole lot of room in the crate because they'll just pee on one end and sleep on the other.

For grooming, you don't really need a lot for a puppy (at least in our experience, and our older dog grew up to be a HUGE fluffball). You're more likely to hurt him and turn him off. For our grown up guys, we use a pin brush, a rake brush, a de-matting comb, grooming scissors, and dremmel. We also do your normal ear cleaning solution (we get ours from the vet, so I don't remember the brand offhand, it's the same thing as online) and shampoo. This is what we used when they were puppies. Another essential is puppy wipes for pesky danglers and muddy paws.

For a puppy, though, I really wouldn't use all that stuff. We used a little kong brush to get him used to a brush on his fur, but we didn't even use that until his fur was a little longer (but still too short to use the other brushes). The big thing with grooming a puppy is getting him used to you touching him EVERYWHERE. Stick your fingers in his ears and mouth, rub all over his paws, make him lay down on his back in your lap, etc. Definitely start on nails asap--even if you don't actually trim them, just holding the dremmel up to their nails and getting them used to it helps A LOT. Also the ear cleaner is an essential for golden puppies. Our trainer and vet both told us to drop it in their ears, let them shake their heads, then use q-tips in all the nooks and crannies.

Other essential products are LOTS of toys. You'll figure out real quick what your guy likes. Our first dog was more of a casual chewer, so fabric toys worked, but our second dog LOVES to eat fabric so we had to go with hard toys only. I highly recommend toys by West Paw! As you know, golden puppies will chew on LITERALLY EVERYTHING so you need a backup distractor toy at all times to replace the flavor of the minute. Keep in mind that if you give up trying to stop them chewing on something (say, for example, your computer chair), they will think it's ok to chew on that for the rest of their life. :(

We also got a slow-feeder bowl because our guys gobble down their food like it will disappear if they don't. And if your guy is really annoying with the water bowl (i.e., repeatedly knocking it over), don't worry too much--he'll grow out of it. I recommend keeping a towel under it until he learns all he wants to know about water!

Have fun with your little guy!!!! I'll add anything else I can think of later but feel free to ask if there's anything else you're curious about!
