A fuminator is a special comb used on dogs, it can help with fur shedding and can be found in most pet shops. furminator is actually a brand name, they have several products, this is the one i usually recommend: http://www.furminator.com/products/brush/brushes-and-combs/adjustable-dematter-tool.aspx

I agree the furminator is sharp and doesn’t work well on lots of dogs. I use a comb and also a slicker brush. Grooming daily will help and won’t be as irritating to your dog. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Jake.

If there is a secondary bacterial infection, I would recommend using product called Duoxo Chlorhexidine + Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved. I would also recommend picking up a hydrocortisone spray (Well and Good at Petco) and apply daily to the affected area to relieve inflammation. If it does not resolve or worsens, I would have a veterinarian take a look at Harley so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What an exciting time. You would need to start by getting a high quality diet (I like the Purina Pro Plan diets though there are plenty to choose from). Also, a dog bed and toys will be important as well. I recommend that you check with your veterinarian to get him in for initiation of vaccines and to start other preventative care medications such as flea and tick preventatives and heartworm preventatives. Good luck and enjoy your pup!
