I have a German Shepherd who obviously sheds a ton (all year around)... has anyone else with this breed used this product and did it really reduce shedding?

I have a German Shepherd as well (I like to call him a German Shedder). I purchased this and I noticed a difference after the first use! You can't pull out as much hair as before using this shampoo. I've only used this once, but I can already highly recommend it for high shedding breeds!

I got this recommended by a groomer. I have a olde English bulldog so the hair is shorter but probably fall outs with as much consistency if not more. It did dramatically reduce the amount of shedding, but didn't stop it all together. But it works and smells better than everything else i have tried.

I don't have a good answer for that! Mine does that too sometimes. I end up taking the brush out completely and clearing any dog hair that is wrapped around it all the way out to the ends. Then it seems to work. Sometimes I don't find much on the brush because I clean it off regularly but it seems any little bit can cause it. I wonder if a new brush would help.

Hi, I'm not sure. Our GSD wasn't destructive, your Husky sounds like our Border Collie but she didn't need it. It's a really great product, sorry I can't help more.

I have a Cocker Spanial and it helps alot with her shedding you just have to clean rollers and empty catcher more often.

I ordered the same brush for my long-haired german shepherd. It was a joke. I gave it my friend who has a chihuahua. They price it so it's more of an inconvenience to return it, so we all end up keeping it. I love their undercoat brush and they are actually accurate in that description.

I have a long-hair German Shepherd and she has a very bushy tail and hindquarters. I have had no issues combing her tail and hindquarters with this brush, I just have to remove the hair from the "teeth" of the comb more frequently...my best approach was to brush small sections of her tail and hindquarters at a time since matting in the undercoat can be missed. Hope this answers your question.

Dear Kevin- Please don't think you are doing something wrong. We wish it weren't so but there are certain conditions where the BFF does not work as well as others. For instance, sometimes pet hair weaves itself into rugs and fabrics and it becomes very hard to pluck back out, and some pet hair is so short and downy that it is really hard to pick up. One of our test doggies is a Boxer with little eyelash size fur, and the BFF works well cleaning his microfiber bed and favorite spot on the couch, but we have heard from the owner of a French Bulldog that she had more difficulty getting up all of the tiny furs in her car's carpeting. Most important to us at Lilly Brush is that you are happy with your purchase, and we would like to refund you fully if you are not. Please give us a call (303-757-4184) or email us (sales@LillyBrush.com) and let us know what we can do to help. You are very important to us! Many thanks! Lilly Brush Co., LLC

No I have pugs and they do shed and there is nothing that will stop shedding. I tried furminator,fish oil and various other things. They shed all the time.

I haven't had any problems with matting fur on my dogs. Really only one has long hair, German Shepherd, but no problem with matting. Another dog is a rescue and she didn't have hardly any hair when got her. She's been a part of our family for a year now, and she has a beautiful coat. Her hair is about an inch long now. But still no problem matting. Maybe your dogs have much finer, softer hair?? I love, love these collars. They are sturdy, perform beautifully, and look awesome. You might want to consider a rolled leather collar? Hope this helps. Oh, I would probably lean towards the medium size. Hope this helps you... and your furry babies!

I have 2 german shepherds and 1 cat. The hair virtually rolls off them. It's one of the reasons I buy this brand. Nothing sticks.

Personally I did not have any shedding, actually hairs started to fall less and less as I continued using the shampoo. That being said I am already using other hairloss products including rogaine, but after adding that shampoo to the current regiment i felt it boosted my results a bit. So i really think you have to stack it up, on it's own not sure it is that effective and let's face it, if shampoos had the power to halt hairloss on their own no one would be balding. Hope this helps!

Call a dog groomer and ask. It varies by breed, because type of hair varies by breed. They even let me try two at the grooming place, and I'm getting this one for my mini Australian Shepherd.

I agree with Dom. I have not had a problem even though I had a lot of shedding to do before a long distance move. Since that busy time period, I have only needed to shed small amounts at a time. It has never gotten hot for me either. Great machine, very reliable.

I have Rottweiler mixed with German Shepard, his average coat length around back is almost an inch to inch and half. It just works fine for that long( and i got the one designed for long hair). I think they have for short hair dogs as well.

Yes, stock coat German Sheperds is where I discovered this brush. It works amazing! I won't use anything else on dogs with thick undercoats again. I would get the wider teeth version especially if they have a lot of snarls.

I guess so . I have 2 Golden Retrievers and one White American shepherd . The shepherd was the one to loose his white hairs all over the house.Now his coat is in its best, not so much hairs to collect. Overall they are wonderful after the salmon oil. Beautiful, healthy. I really loved this product.

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.
