 It works, but my dog HATES it July 31, 2010
shellioop (Napa, CA)
I, like everyone else, heard great stories about this amazing de-shedding tool, so I bought one and have tried it a dozen or so times on my American Eskimo dog. She looks like a giant snowball, an oversized Pomeranian or a miniature Samoyed for those of you who have never seen one - and as you can imagine, she has LOTS of hair and sheds tumbleweeds year round.
When I got this brush out of the package, the first thing I did it run it down my own arm to make sure it isn't painful like those pin brushes (which I bet you will stop using once you try them on yourself). It it actually fairly uncomfortable when you test it on yourself, because the blades are very sharp, so even though they are aligned in such a way as to provide a largely flat grooming surface, they still scrape and scratch quite a bit. That being said, dogs have thicker, tougher skin than people (well, most dogs) and can handle a bit more roughness. So I tried it out on my Eskimo.
I fully admit that it did work as advertised, for which I'll give it credit. The undercoat comes out little by little, in tiny poofs of wispy hair. If you groom for 15 minutes, you're completely covered in wispy hair that is soft and impossible to gather up and throw away. After 5 minutes she was noticeably uncomfortable,after 10 minutes she was shewing on me and acting fussy, after 15 minutes she started making little whining noises, and after 20 minutes she was practically biting my arm in annoyance. She never likes grooming much, but she really did not care for this tool. It rips the undercoat out in small bits. I wouldn't care for it either if it were me. I did get a lot of hair out of my dog, but she wouldn't come to me for half a day afterward because she appeared to feel mistreated by the grooming session.
Each successive session was about the same. I knew I wasn't really hurting her, but rather causing her quite a bit of discomfort, so I made sessions 10 minutes or less after that to minimize the soreness that apparently develops from the tearing out of the fur.
 WOW!! What an Amazing Tool! July 30, 2010

I have only half a cat left thanks to this incredible deshedder! Of the umpteen cats I've had all my life, none have been longhairs because they're just not practical for the rural lifestyle we lead. But my latest rescue kitten grew into a longhaired beauty who requires regular brushing. Nothing I tried was significantly thinning out or shortening his multi-layered coat, and it was heartbreaking to watch him constantly trying to groom himself.
Enter The FURminator. If I could sell cat hair, I'd be rich right now! Bushels of the stuff just kept coming off of him for as long as I kept combing. I could probably completely denude my hairy guy if I wanted to! I can't thank The FURminator enough for finally enabling my Puff to be as comfortable as a normal cat.
Remarkable Product July 30, 2010

Works better than anything I have ever tried. I have 3 labs and keeping up with their shedding has always been a challenge. The furminator has allowed me to cut brushing down to once a week. The dogs love it also, so you know its gentle.
Yay for a decent brush! July 30, 2010

I was able to get the medium-sized Furminator, with shipping, for about $20 here on amazon, and it's totally worth it. We've got a 100-lb. mutt that sheds like crazy, especially during the hot months here in the south, and this has helped tremendously. Don't expect a miracle-- your dog will still shed some (it's a dog, after all), but this cut down the amount of dog hair around our house A LOT. We're putting our house up for sale soon and I don't know that we could keep it clean without this product. Happy brushing!
Works so well! July 29, 2010

My cats love being brushed with the FURminator! It is very effective at removing excess fur, although pretty messy. We brush them in the dry bathtub for ease of collecting the fur afterward. Their coats look silky and shiny when we're through. Well worth the money I paid for it! Works great on short- and long-haired cats, as we have one of each. I told my vet we'd purchased one and she even gave it her seal of approval!
