| Do you mean the little round thingies with bristles? Beamer gets them in his coat sometimes after being in the yard. I use the wide teeth on the comb and work them out of him, sometimes have to use my fingers. It can take a while though sometimes. Luckily he is good about it.

No Longer a Member | Got a few of these after a hike, the easiest way for me was to cut them out. They were near his paws and he doesn't sit still long enough for me to work them out of his paws. And since he is looking scruffy anyway I didn't mind cutting them out. Just work out enough of the fur with your fingers so you aren't cutting huge chunks of hair out and it won't be too noticable. |

| I use a flea comb and my fingers. I work out from the skin to the end of the hair. After one exciting day at my sister's country place, I worked 37 burrs out! It took about an hour. |
