can i use this tool on my jack russell terrier? would be quicker than plucking at his coat for hours.

yes, I think it would work. We have a mastiff/boxer and I couldn't believe how much hair it got off her.

No reason why not. I know it can be hard to get a jack russell to sit still but my dog is pretty jumpy and she'll at least let me give her a once over every few days and that really cuts down on the hair on furniture and clothes. She seems to enjoy it. And it's wildly more effective than the coat-plucking method. Been there.

Yes, we have a boxer mix with the same type of short hair and it works great.

I would reccomend it for your Jack Russell terrier. It's a safe and very decent brush. No de shedding brush needed. It De sheds and groom under coat well. Love the brush

Hello Kay, I do think that this device will be helpful with your Jack Russell, though I strongly suggest ensuring that he/she already understands the commands that you are trying to enforce prior to using the collar. Please note that the collar is fully adjustable and should fit just fine. I am also guessing that the built in bark limiting functionality will also be extremely helpful in training your K9. The manual states that the bark limiter can take up to a minute to reach the voltage necessary to prevent the dog from barking as it starts off low and works its way up as the dog continues to bark. This feature has worked well for me already as long as you ensure that the prongs are over the dogs vocal cords.

I am using this one on a schnauzer that has a shaggy coat. I suspect it would work. The unit is quite effective on our dog.

I think it would be too big - I used it on a Jack Russell terrier and the fit was perfect, but he was much larger than 3 pounds.

Yes, although it takes time at least for my Golden Retriever to get used to the motor sound and most dogs are nervous about their feet and nails. Patience and short sessions? BTW, I more often us this B&D; on my toe nails when my large nail cutter can't do it. One last thought, I bought an extra large dog nail cutter with extra leverage and just do a few nails at a time. It is much faster if you have the leverage to get through with one squeeze. Then use the B&D; to smooth the cut edges?

Theoretically yes? Furminator makes a dog brush too, that might be wider so it is easier to use on your dog. I would go with that brush over buying this one.

I would not use it. There are other attachments for carpets that would work better. I would be afraid to bend the pins on the tool and ruin a great tool for dogs.

I have pomerians, jack russels and a lab. Worked on all my dogs. So I would say YES.

Our Jack has a rough coat and it works fine. They tell you to trim the hair around the neck if the coat is to long. But now that he has worn in for a few months we don't even turn it on. Just putting it on him he stops barking. I have tried every device and this is the only one that worked.

We use ours on a Cairn Terrier which has an very similar coat. It works great and there's nothing else we've found near it.

Yes. I bought the tool at the grocery store and then they stopped selling it so I had to go online. I bought 8 packs of refills so I wouldn't have to deal with it for a while. I have a German Shepard and believe me this thing works!

Go to MarsGroomingproducts.com and inquire there. They make the Mars Coat King tool I reviewed. I did not see your breed on the list for thistype of tool, but they make many products. I'm sure they could advise you. The Coat King is very specific to the breed as they make many blade sizes. The wrong blade size will not successfully work . See if you can buy their recommended tool on Amazon first as their website prices are much higher and they ship from outside the US, adding more cost as well. Good luck!

I believe it would work well. I was just recently introduced to this brush and to a rake. I had previously used a Firmenator on our mini-aussie. There has been a great improvement in the texture of his coat since I started using the rake first and followed that by the slicker brush. It's easy to use, and my aussie stands still for it and seems to like it. I also use thinning shears on the hindquarters and tail, which gives a trim, but not close-cut look.

Works great on Cairn Terrier. Many professional dog groomers use this tool so I assume it works for about any breed.

This particular model that I bought was specifically ordered for a long haired dog (my German Shepherd). I ALSO have a Jack Russell terrier, and have tried the undercoat rake on him, but the teeth are too long. That said, I would imagine that Oster has a model specifically desigend for short hair dogs like a Jack Russell. I have not sought out one of those because my Jack Russell does not shed nearly as bad as the German Shepherd. So I would suggest you search for the short haired version of this model. From my experience It is an excellent de-shedding tool and will not make your pet constantly scratch himself....a common problem with the competitive "Furminator" which tends to scratch the pet's skin.
