FURminator Undercoat Deshedding Tool for Dogs

First of all I want to address the single star reviews making a claim these are counterfeit. Back in 2016 when my home burned down I was displaced at a hotel for several months where I lived that commonly held corporate meetings and conventions. While visiting I met a gal named Angie Porter who saw me with my service dog an 80lb white Siberian husky. She fell in love with my dog and immediately introduced herself and kindly asked to let him knowing he was a service dog. During this time and her stay my family had gotten to know her and learned about a product they invented. A new dog brush. An amazing dog brush that actually works, it doesn’t clog like every other brush and it seriously removes hair at an alarming rate. This brush was known as the Furninator a name she announced when she gave me a medium sized brush free of charge knowing my families situation (we had nothing at the time it burned in the fire) and showed me how to use the brush properly. Oh yes there is a proper way to use these brushes so you avoid injury if your dog and remove hair the proper way. Obviously you don’t want to go against the lure of hair but there is still a technique to be used. I suggest a google search or some practice time before you leave a bad mark. Over the past few years I lost that brush and needed a replacement. Upon looking up Angie her husband and self sold the company so they no longer manufacturer these brushes. I had wished all the time I had the large brush my dog is big. Anyways knowing this is a new company that now owns furminator I decided to order the large here from Amazon and I have to say..., it is the same great brush and works fantastic. After brushing my hisky today we were able to fill a 5 gallon bucket full of dog hair.., that’s how much hair had built up in the past year while using competitor brushes. They just don’t work well. He loves it.., he was rolling over, switching around, kissing me, and loving every minute of his brushing session. It took a mere 10 minutes to brush him while I had an assistant with a vacuum sucking up the loose piles to prevent them from floating around the house. This was and is a great invention in the pet industry and deserves all 5 stars. There isn’t a better product on the market so to not give it 5 stars is foolishness. The use of an assurance and a vacuum for a long haired pet is suggested and I also suggest getting the largest brush your comfortable with and perhaps the two largest sizes you would use. The larger you get the reduction in brush time. The size of your pet can dictate this size so you could go large and a medium or small, etc..., for those tighter places, by the ears, under the arms, around the buttons. And so on. I hope you enjoyed my brief history and found this review useful. If so would you please mark it helpful so other me can also see it take priority in the review header. It is important that as a user of the furninator that you care for it, store it properly, and use it properly and you and your loved one will get years of enjoyment until they dig a hole in the yard and bury it. :-)

This thing is ridiculous. You may think you've brushed the hair off your dog, but oh no, my friend, you haven't.Let's get one thing clear, your dog has too much hair, and the FURminator was sent by aliens in the future to help you fix that. Let's get started!First, go put on something you don't plan on wearing for the rest of your life. Unless you wear plastic trash bags (Derelicte?), you're about to be wearing your very own authentic dog-hair suit. A lint roller will help, but plan on tearing through half the roll of adhesive sheets when you're done.Next, go outside. If you have a particularly ornery dog, you may want to throw a leash on him, but don't you dare FURminate in your home, unless you're the first person to brush their dog because you want MORE hair in your house. When you're done, you'll have little fur tumbleweeds bouncing around while you stare in disbelief at your dog, which will still have fur, somehow, despite the hairpocalype unleashed by this innocuous little brush.Get help. This isn't a leisurely afternoon in the back yard where Rover pants contentedly while you haplessly brush away the loose hairs. This is war, and in war, you need two hands. One person holds Trigger in place, the other FURminates.Get in there. Short, fast strokes are your best bet. Use one hand to hold the skin in place, and the other to run the brush through. Use the handy button on top to clear out the teeth when it gets clogged. Expect to do this about a million times. Seriously, you're going to wonder how much longer it can possibly go on. Longer, amigo.Stop when the fur piles are waist-high, or when the fur changes color. I'm convinced you would end up with a shaved dogif you just kept going, but the pile of fur would be unmanageable. The FURminator allegedly pulls the undercoat first, so when your brown dog starts getting lighter in color, we assume that means the top coat is getting attacked. But who cares? Go nuts, the d#mn beast will grow it all back in 2 minutes anyways, right?This is the be-all end-all of grooming products for your dog. If you hate having animal hair in your house, and have the discipline to use it every week, the FURminator will change your life.Cons: Doesn't work on human back hair

Compré este producto para usarlo en mi golden Retriever. Tenia el mediano pero vi este en descuento y fue una excelente adquisición.Si nunca has usado un Furminator es una especie de cepillo metálico con mango y una pieza plastica empujada por un botón; el cepillo recoge el pelo muerto y, al empujar el botón, la pieza plastica hace que el pelo recogido se desprenda del cepillo, por ejemplo, dentro de una bolsa.Funciona muy bien, sin embarho sigo usando el mediano para partes menos anchas como debajo de las orejas.Después de una buena cepillada (20-30 minutos), mi golden queda muy suave y deja de tirar pelo por 3 semanas, a veces 4, dependiendo de la temporad del año.

Dos perros y un gato, he tenido problemas con los pelos en tooooda mi ropa desde que los tengo (los amo igual) pero la vdd y sin querer sonar a infomercial se redujo un 90% o mas. Lo combine con el pet hair eraser y casi ni tengo pelos en casaPara referencia es un dalmata un labrador y el gato no se que raza es, pero es de pelo delgadoOjala y les ayude a la decision

This removed so much hair!

highly recommended have tried all kinds of brushes and combs my dog use to run and shake when he saw them . This actually pulls a carrier bag full of loose undercoat out of my short haired jack russell and he loves it he even sits and relaxes when i use it and will even turn round for me. (dosent run and hide when i get it out the cupboard )

OMG this is a fantastic comb. I brushed my puggle for about 25 minutes and the amount of hair that came off her was unbelievable. Even better is the way the hair collects in the comb and easily releases in a bundle instead of floating everywhere. There is still some more hair to remove but I'm going to wash her now with the furminator shampoo that I bought and then once she's dry give hr another comb through. I was pretty sceptical but had to try it out as my house was full of hairs . I am very impressed so far.
