Guess who was the mug that paid around £30 or so quid for hers from the pet shop!! 
But I wonder if I am doing something wrong, or if the Bug's skin is a bit too sensitive for the furminator, since whenever I use it, I seem to flare up a bit of dandruff.. (haven't done so for about 6 weeks now)
His coat is so much better now that we are on the transition from Hills food to Challenge, which is fish based, so perhaps he had poor skin previously - but does anyone else have this issue when using a furminator?

Well I now know why it's called "Blowing" their coat, as I Furminated Mojo this morning and the fur is still Blowing round my garden this afternoon . She is in major moult mode at the moment, so even though I went over her three days ago, I got enough off her to make a whole new Labrador this morning  . I don't know what I'd do without the thing now and I've no idea why she isn't bald.

Gary, quite often when they are moulting, they can go a bit flakey, which of course really shows up on a black dog. After I've gone over Mojo, occasionally she will look a little dandruffy but this is just because I've bought it all up to the surface. After a day or so it all goes away.
The other thing which can make them dandruffy is stress. My last Guide Dog pup used to produce dandruff at the drop of a hat if we were doing anything which required all her concentration, or something new and different.
