Having two long-haired beauties, one who'll sit for combing and one who refuses to, I have gone through pretty much every single grooming comb/brush/implement there is, but until this weekend, hadn't yet tried the zoom groom.
Yesterday, I took the collars off both my furkids to groom them, after noticing that simply scritching sessions were producing handfuls of shed fur. (Yay! Spring is on the way!)
I started with Ginger, using the shedding comb that has alternative long and short teeth (that's my most favorite comb for my longhairs, as it really gets the undercoat and helps keep coats from matting.)
Then I moved on to Ferris, who, after watching Ginger get combed out, didn't protest, and for a change, I was able to give him a pretty thorough grooming, although there is no way I can brush out his belly at this point. (I see a lion cut in his future!
)
Then later in the day, seeing as Ferris had been SO well behaved when I'd combed him, I decided to try the zoom groom on him. He really, REALLY likes rough scritches, and the zoom groom was quite accepted by him - he even streched out on his belly, purring, so that I could get full back coverage!
I tried it out on Ginger, too, but it was too rough for her most delicate little self, so I will stick to using it on the tough guy. Between the combing and the zooming, though, I think I got enough fur off the two of them to create a whole new kitten!
Spring is springing!!!
