    Do a quick search on Google images with this keyword 'Oster Grooming rake wide 18 teeth coarse'. This is what we use at our groomers and it works magic with those dogs that have a second coat underneath! Saves so much work when we bathe them. I saw a girl use one on a husky and it literally pulled piles of hair off that dog. It's amazing. It's called a rake. And we only use it on the ones that have thick hair. Other simple tools help like the slicker and metal comb for basic grooming but this is really important for pulling the loose hair out that hides under the surface.

    Shiba Inu Grooming

    My acquaintances have a male Shiba Inu that they offered whilst they lived in Japan some years in the past. cute little canine it extremely is oftentimes quiet. He does not extremely bark, yet he huffs plenty and makes this strange howling noise whilst he sees different canine. he's sweet together with his family participants and their toddlers, yet he's perhaps no longer drawn to all and sundry else. he's has a tendency to be aggressive with different canine and that i think of that they family participants informed me that that isn't any longer unusual for this breed. he's an lively canine that desires an outstanding run each and every on occasion. Shiba Inus oftentimes can not be depended on off-leash in view that they have been bred for looking. i understand my neighbor's canine can not be as he will take off after something that strikes and could no longer come returned.

    A good slicker brush & shedding comb. Don't waste money on a Furminator - shibas coats are too thick for it to work. Your pup is losing his puppy coat & not really shedding. Mine actually sheds small amounts for months & not large amounts & easy to control. Just do a quick brushing will help & be good for his coat & skin.

    The best way is to brush him everyday.. If he will let you use a vacuum attachment to run through his hair this will help with the shedding. Also you may want to take him to like petsmart or your vet to let them handle all of the hair
