Gordon Setter Grooming - Andis fine tooth deshedding tool ( rake )

How Andis fine tooth deshedding tool ( rake ) works wonders on setter ( and other breeds : golden retriever , spaniels ) coat - especially good for softer more woolly coats
Currently not available in U.K. but you can find them in USA / Canada … not sure about Europe … if you can get hold one - please do - can’t recommend it highly enough

Hi there! I love your videos. I also have an English Setter. I'm in Chicago. Do you have any English Setters you can use in videos? Do you think the Gordon and the English are about the same in grooming? Are there any key differences? Thank you so so much for sharing these videos. Sometimes I just watch them with my afternoon coffee because the dogs are so cute and it's relaxing!

Hi 👋 thank you so much for watching .. sadly no English setter to work on as they pretty rare in England ( I know , right ?!? 😯😳) but I would use the same technique as with Gordon’s … they can be so individual in their coats too … on English you will have less or no feathers on the lower thigh ( or second thigh - below knee ; on the outside of the leg ) only and I would imagine they are much less work … but maintaining the topcoat and feathers would be more less the same … hope this helps

Hi, thanks for the video. We have English Setters for over 20 years and have found Andis products to be very good and reasonably priced. Like you I can’t find this rake in the UK, and buying from the USA becomes a bit expensive. What do you think of a Mars coat king as an alternative? Looking forward to the next instalment.

Do you think these are more effective than furminators? I tried one on my setter today, and it didn't take out very much undercoat, even though she's shedding loads.

Furminator can shred the coat on a setter so I wouldn’t use it … I can’t see the coat your dog has but sometimes tools don’t work on some damaged / sparse and fine coat so you might have to just hand strip with your fingers … possibly reconsider the diet if you are getting constant excessive shedding

@@beaellerbeck8863 good to know thanks. Do you think the and is deshedder would possibly work better on her?

[@beaellerbeck8863]

Maybe try the Aaronco Magna carder stripping knife and use it to rake the coat out … but if the coat is very fine - tools won’t take it out - you need to use fingers for stripping. Or possibly a stripping stone ( you can rake with it too ) - my favourite one is Dezynadog stripping stone
