I Think it might work on Labs. it sure didn't work on my Lhasa Apso!! Too much fur.They say it's for undercoats on long hair dogs. It didn't work for me. Good luck Daisy

Hi Daisy- I YES, have used it on a black lab -- with their shorter coat, going in the direction of the fur isn't AS helpful as it is going against the grain to get loose fur off. but with any matting of the fur, go IN the direction of the fur, little bits at a time. Get part of the mat hooked on the rake, then give a very quick, but firm YANK, and it'll come out beautifully. With the low cost of this item, and the fact that it works not only on dogs, but kitties as well, give it a shot! I've even bought several because once I show clients, friends and family how well it works, they want one, so I have some handy to give as presents!

It works well with my German Shepherd, I'm not sure how much of an undercoat your lab has, but he/she has thick hair, this will work well.

This is an amazing tool! I find it to be much better than the Furminator as it does not "rip" thru the fur. I have long haired dogs -- Golden and Chow/shepherd mix, but I really think it is a better tool even for short haired dogs. It takes off the outer and under coat and my boys love it. They hated the Furminator...

Our groomer suggested it to use to take out the undercoat for our Berner and the fur definitely flies (combing against the grain.)

I sure it would be good if you got the correct size. We have a great dane who had a bad case of separation anxiety. Bought the DAP because I had tried everything else including medication (vet recommended prozac for dogs) and it failed. Got the DAP collar and the spray (for his bed) and it worked almost immediately. It was hard to believe. This 160 pound guy become a laid back big lover. Now he wags his tail when we leave, bothers nothing while we are gone and is happy on our return. I still use the DAP collar because if Duke is happy, we are happy. If he likes and it works he gets it. Hope this helps. I sure it would be good if you got the correct size. We have a great dane who had a bad case of separation anxiety.

Maybe not. If your Akita has thick, long fur, you may want one with longer electrodes. I have a Black Lab/Rottweiller with thick dense hair about 1 1/2" long all over and it works fine for her. Didn't take her long to shut up. It allows a couple barks and then she quits. It obviously works. So, the best way to tell is to buy one and see. I bought two and they're work for me.

It works very well on my maltipoo. I did it for about 2 weeks, once a day. His eye area is very bright and clean. Keep at it.

yes, the black looks way better in my opinion and it is easier to keep it clean...hope this helps :)

I have a Lab and a Poodle. I bought two sizes. They work well on both of my pets. My poodle has black nails and the labs is more of a transparent nail. I clip the ends in one good strong clip, then I use a dremel to grind them down shorter and smooth them out. I can only attest for what I've actually used them on. I hope this helps.

I have used this on black car with no problems. Use it per instructions and it works great.

I would say yes. I used it on my beagle all of one day,every time it moved it would go off. Not recommended.

It depends upon what you mean "work". Labs are natoriously childish until about age 5. It will not help with that. If your dog is anxious and/or nervous, then yes.

I have used this for my labs since they were puppies. It takes some getting used to by the dog, but it's a great product.

I've only used it on my German Shepherds. There really isn't much hair on a lab so I don't think this product is needed unless you want the lab to have a nice sheen to their coat.

I haven't had black spot issue. But it did work well on a yellowing problem I had with the leaves. It might well be worth a try.

I used this on my black lab...1 test per kit....hardest part drawing blood, It works much like checking your blood sugar.

Yes, I believe it would. We have a rowdy Boston Terrier. I was very hesitant to use this on my dog as I didn't want to "hurt" him. So of course, I tried it on myself, my leg. At the lightest setting, it was a tingle and as I turned it up, it became not unbearable but uncomfortable. I was convinced I would be successful. After several training sessions where my dog completely ignored the collar, I gave up and returned the unit. I did get a refund with no problem. The problem is my dog. I bought this upon the advice of a close friend who bought it for her half lab half pit mix and she was amazed at how well it worked. Yes, I believe it would. We have a rowdy Boston Terrier.

Absolutely. I was surprised that it works so well. We have 2 labs & it's worth every penny.

Absolutely - I have 2 Labrador Retrievers and have used the Trim Pet to care for their nails. I have had no issues. I have hunted my dogs over this past fall and winter. I need to use the Trim Pet to be sure the nails are short to help prevent the nails from catching ice while in the fields. No nails problems at all. I really like the file as it helped me repair issues with a couple of split nail ends due to this brutal winter cold and ice. Rest assured the trim pet is a great investment.
