Our dog has been shedding ALOT, and we have tried the Shedender and other brushes to help. It pulls out a ton of hair, but it also leaves her looking like her hair is thining, I can see the pink of her skin underneath. We don't use that often and we are careful. Is it the brush or is something else wrong?

Have your vet test for thyroid function.

It's likely the time of year, that is making the dog shed. If not then it's an inadequate diet.

I have never heard of that happening with the shed ender brush before. What kind of dog do you have? Many things can contribute to your dog loosing more hair than normal including health( i.e. horomones--hypothyriodism seems to be a growing problem in dogs today) fleas and\or ticks and them biting your dog, mites, allergies and\or diet (allergic to an ingredient in food), breed type, aging (at this time a little hair loss is normal but if it is in patches see a vet). Please give more details so we can help you. Thanks! :)

What type of dog do you have? You shouldn't use one of those type of brushes except during shedding season (spring/fall) because of the change of coat. Frequent brushing can pull to much hair and cause problems. I'd still suggest consulting with a vet, Cushings disease, mange and other nutritional deficencies can cause hair loss like this. And learn to deal with the fact that dogs shed, you can't stop it. You can minimize it with proper diet not continuous stripping of the coat.

I suggest that you find a roadkill raccoon and have it made into a wig. I know somebody in Glen Ferris WV that has one and it doesn't look so bad once you get used to it.
