Ok I found this question in the furminator website and was wondering if his was true or not. I am getting Teagan clipped, but if this tool would help me keep her hair more wiry and course I could purchase one. I just wanted to make sure first because they are expensive.
Q. Does the FURminator Shed-Less Treatment work on terriers?
A. Yes, and in addition to removing the undercoat and loose hair, the treatment also offers some additional benefits for terriers. Terriers have a naturally coarse coat, and many of the show dogs are hand "striped" to keep this texture in their topcoats. But using a clipper "softens" the coat, which is not desirable. Using the FURminator deShedding Tool on a regular basis, however, will help retain that coarse terrier coat on dogs that have had their hair trimmed with clippers. Schnauzers can also develop a darker color "stripe" down their backs from clippers. The deShedding Tool will help eliminate this "stripe" and help return the coat to its original color.
