Does this work for dogs with long hair? I have a 70 pound Goldendoodle who plays in my swampy backyard!

I used it for 5 dogs once but 4 were Yorkshire Terriers. You might need more than one glove.

I use them on feet and in between toes on a shepherd mix and a Italian Spinone (both over 80lbs). I have two because they take a while to dry and need to be washed frequently. They work great which is why they need to be washed so often.

If you want to quick wipe paws, maybe, but I haven't really used this much since I got it. I highly recommend Soggy Doggy products - I have two of the rugs and the shammy. Love these! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_pet-supplies?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin;=Soggy%20Doggy&node;=2619533011

I have two German Shepherds and have only used it on their bellies and paws. It works well there but I don' believe it will clean a long haired dog's fur well. I don't think it was intended for that purpose.

I have a short haired dog so hard to say for sure but it is very absorbent and great for getting between the toes...

In situations like that, I double up. If it is raining hard, I have a couple regular towels to handle the overall wetness and use the spotless paw to get the feet, underbelly, and tail taken care of. Towels wont help with those areas, the spotless gloves are like scalpels compared to a regular towel.

We have goldendoodles, as well, who enjoy a good romp in the backyard after a hard rain. It's one of the best things we've found for drying off because you can really work the hair with your hands. Of course, the surface area is smaller, so you may find a towel works better if the dog is really, really wet (like playing out during the rain). It really depends on how long and thick the hair. It's easier for my children to use and do a better job, too. Hope this helps!

I use this glove to clean my dogs paws. I do recommend it for that- the glove allows you to gently clean their pads and get between their toes vs a towel. I purchased this glove for paws and the "Soggy Doggy" dog towel for wiping down their coats. The towel is super absorbent. I live in a snowy area with a new construction backyard and the two products have been GREAT. I would recommend the towel for your long haired dog but would not rule out the Spotless Paw glove for muddy bellys/legs/ paws. Hope that helps!

Yes and no. I have a German Shepard, and the clippers work on him. That being said it's a progressive task. Go straight to a short attachment and they'll get stuck in the long hair. If you take it once around with a comb about half of the desired overall length and then again with the shortest comb you want to use in the end, it'll work just fine. If you're pressed for time get something worth a stronger motor. If not, save the cash and buy this one.

I have a large dog and this works wonders for him, but I don't think he has as much hair as a Pom. The long hair tool is about 4 inches across so it gets a large area per brush.

It does a great job with dog hair. we don't have any long hair people-wise and it was the dog hair I bought it for. I love it.

I use it for my great dane, who has very short hair. The prongs are less than an inch long, so you might consider looking at the prong extensions they sell separately. Great product for me!!

I used it on my adult great dane with no problems. He has short hair so i don't know how well it would work on a dog with long hair. The collar is plenty long enough for him but im not sure it would be with long fur.

Don't think so. I use mine on a miniature poodle and if she has matted hair, it had a tough time.

I have a cat and a dog with long hair. I have had no problems with this picking up the hair or litter, but hair does build up on the red piece in the center of the cartridge. You will need to regularly clean this piece off for optimal performance.

My mother has this exact clipper (hence why I purchased it), hers is 30 years old, and still works like a charm. However, mine does not cut my dog's hair like hers cuts his. He is a miniature schnauzer, but his hair seems more frizzy and fine. My personal opinion would be that it would not be worth the money for a longer haired dog as there are not any guarantees that it will fair well. By all means, I may be wrong, but I wish I had saved my money.

I think its better if you get a long furminator hair brush. The dual brush is intended for dog with short fur.

I have this Model. My dog is a mixed breed 75 lb. long hair. It works well on her.

I would think it would work on any animal with hair. It's not very "deep", and thus far had done a great job!

My only experience is with my lab mix. She sheds a lot but does not have a long coat. The large brush works for my dog but not sure how the slicker brush would do for the long coat.

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.

Depends on the breed. I bought the short hair for two English Bulldog's and a Labrador. The girlfriend that recommended the Furminator to me uses a long hair on her Golden Retrievers. A dog is not considered "long hair" unless their fur is 2" long or longer. Hope this helps!

We are using the collar on our standard poodle. It is working well on his medium curl, inch length hair. My sister uses the collar for her large male German Shepard who has thick, longish hair. All of us have been satisfied with the product and haven't had a problem due to hair type. I'd investigate the return policy for peace of mind.

My dog has very thick hair also , it works great and does not overheat , make sure you get the proper size blade you want for your dogs hair length , do not get the combs they do not work well at all .
