FURminatorDog/Cat Grooming Rake, Grooming Tool, Removes Loose Hair and Tangles, Gray

Slides easily through my Collies /Labs thick fur. It helps remove or thin under coat as it sheds. Value, weight and construction is well worth the purchase.

I have a husky malamute and her fur is outrageous, this brush is the absolute best brush that I’ve found to help get her undercoat: it’s super easy and gets the work done. I’ve had a few brushes where she would get tired of me using it but with this one she seems to enjoy brush time

We have an Anatolian Shepherd and a Great Pyrenees who have thick, soft underfur which is a pain to comb out. (Dog fur is a "condiment" in our house!) The Furminator gets right down to that soft, thick, and often matted fur and combs it out. We don't use it in a brushing for any longer than 15 or 20 minutes, though, as our dogs get restless and want to leave, so we separate our brushings to several small ones rather than a large comb out in one sitting.

This product works well but I had an older version that I liked better. The old version had a release button that allowed you to collect the hair and then press the release button and drop the hair in the trash. This product is still very high quality, built well and removes a lot of hair, I just like the older version more.

I absolutely love this brush. I have a golden retriever and a golden retriever mix and they both have long hair which gets everywhere! This brush has helped so much and it seems to feel good for my dogs. A lot of brushes seem to cause some pain, which this one does NOT. It works well, is very inexpensive, and is just great! Highly recommend.

We had the old version with the flat, close-in pins (for long-haired dogs), and while it worked, our dog wanted nothing to do with it.I broke this out of the packaging, let him sniff it, went to work on his coat, and was immediately impressed by how well this worked--without needing to add pressure or tug at tangles!*PROS:- Easy to use (again, without adding pressure)- The "rotating" pins really seemed to help move tool smoothly through the coat (no catching and pulling hair to cause discomfort)- Works on mats and smaller tangles with little effort (might have to start at the bottom for the bigger ones)- Pins are long enough to get through our golden's coat and massage his skin- Rounded pin tips prevented discomfort from scrapes and scratches- One tool does it all for us! Brushing, massage, deshedding...*BONUS: He was wagging his tail and staying still while I went to work, even when I attacked his neck/chest beard and ears! I collected handful after handful of undercoat after what I considered a long and successful brushing just 2-3 days earlier.*CON: The tool helped loosen the hair so well that small clumps of undercoat would literally fly into the air (rather than bunch up *on him* at the end of my stroke, as happened when using other brushes/combs). I think I got even more hair on me than usual (and my black pants--because aren't goldens only supposed to be brushed when you're wearing dark colors? 😜), but I'm okay with this.What we tried before:- wire slicker brush: Worked well, especially with any matted hair, but he really didn't like the wire bristles. Great with tangles, but I'd have to be really careful not to apply too much pressure or I could scratch or puncture him (or myself).- Furminator rake: With this tool (got one specifically for long-haired dogs), I never really got why Furminator was so positively regarded. For the most part it just semed to catch and *pull* at his hair (the pins were so closely set!). I had to apply extra pressure to get to the undercoat, which doggo didn't like (it could/would scrape his skin), but it got the job done. Overall it was too cumbersome to use regularly, but I kept it in an attempt to be a responsible golden retriever dog owner (even if I didn't use it).- combo plastic bristle + pin brush: This was our go-to tool (until now, heh heh heh!). Our doggo liked/tolerated this one well. Any increased pressure made the pins massage his skin harder (without causing discomfort), while the bristles caught the loose hairs/undercoat. Unfortunately, it did NOT do well with mats or any small knots/tangles, so I'd break out the wire slicker (above) for those sessions.

Love this comb for our wooly Husky, with very long hair! Once the undercoat has been removed, this works great to comb through any matted fur. Sturdy comb with a nice sized handle. Our shepherd enjoys the combing as well.

This works great. My son gave me a puppy for my birthday. A St Bernard. He definitely sheds but this helps me control it so much. Very easy to clean the hair out of the brush. More importantly he loves being brushed with it -- combine it with a treat and I can get him completely brushed!
