Furminator?

Hello.
I don't have CsVs but SWHs and when it comes to MY experience of Furminator I would like to give a little word of warning.

I bought a Furminator last year and it’s SO effective that it’s really easy to overuse it. If I remember the instructions right you should only use it for 10-20 minutes 1-2 a week and you have to be careful not to press it too hard against the dog.

I thought I used it carefully but two of my dogs ended up with hair pore infection (folliculitis) witch gave them itch, bald spots and made them look like they suffered from mange. (had to give them antibiotics to get rid of it.) Afterwards I found out that a friend had the same experience using Furminator on one of her Huskies.

I'm not saying Furminator is a bad tool, just that you have to be careful with it.
