I never dreamed it could work so well! I was skeptical about buying a FURminator. After all, they are a little pricey for "just a brush" I thought. I have a corgi (and a mini dachshund, golden retriever and 3 cats, but the corgi is the special one) who has a double coat- which means she sheds, all the time. Always. I would brush her and then have to brush her to remove the coat the brush left behind, then brush her again, and again- well you can imagine. I finally bought a FURminator, with the warning from a groomer-friend who said to use it outside. Oh..My...Gosh. I wish I hadn't waited so long to buy one! The amount of dead coat it removes is incredible. All the animals (even the cats) act like using this brush on them is the most glorious act I can do as an owner. We literally have cat fights over who gets brushed first. I am incredibly pleased with this product. It's held up well, it's still effective now that I've had it two years and we are no longer drowning in a sea of dog and cat fur! It is will worth the money and comes in several sizes so you don't have to worry about trying to rake an Akita with a chihuahua sized brush! view more	Nov 8, 2011	11
The only grooming tool you'll ever need I love this tool and so do my dogs and cats! It does an excellent job of removing excess hair from their under coat. I take a day every few months and I brush each animal. The best part is that the animals enjoy the grooming (even those animals who never liked to be groomed). It works great to keep long haired cats from getting tangles. Also, the animals always look very shiny after they've been groomed. view more	Nov 4, 2011	16
Did That Really Come Off of You? Our local pet store had a video running of the FURminator on a loop. After seeing it a few times, I bought it on a whim, as our oldest cat is a shedmonster. Though initially cross with it, as I imagine it felt weird, he then got into it. Cheek rubbing, belly flops, "Get me over on this part" motions. I pulled enough hair off of him that when I piled it, it looked like he'd had kittens. His fur is much softer when I use it, and when he sees the brush he comes trotting over. Our middle cat will allow a few strokes before running, and the youngest bites it, but for all the vacuuming and lint-rolling it's saved me on the oldest cat, it is worth it, wort it, worth it. view more	Oct 17, 2011	19
Great way to reduce shedding I love this product! An excellent tool that is worth the cost for those who live with pets and the hair they shed. Especially useful for "double-coated" (with dense undercoat) pets. Great for grooming at home and for the "in between groomer visits" for those who go to groomers regularly. The short fine tines reduce the chance of injury to pet and groomer. view more	Oct 15, 2011	21
It's the best on the market It's the best on the market for a dog brush, but our dog sheds like crazy no matter what we do. This is one of 3 brushes I use and is the main one. It works well to get the undercoat but it doesn't stop the shedding amount. I guess I can't imagine how much she would shed if I didn't use it... I don't think it can be your only tool to reduce shedding, I think you also have to get a tool that works on the top coat alone as well. view more	Oct 6, 2011	19
Pet must be clean and matt free I bought a Furminator for our two dogs, one short-coated and one thick, fluffy hair. Dogs must be clean and matt free for it to work. I think dirt will dull the blade as well as just catching in it. Neither dog like the Furminator compared to other brushes, but I work slowly with it and it does remove undercoat. VERY expensive for what it is. view more	Oct 3, 2011	23
Pricey, but effective When I first got my Golden 5 years ago, I was skeptical at this product. I had a rake, which is traditional for removal of the undercoat. I tried a friends of mine and was amazed at the amount of hair it removed. I went a bought one the next day and have been using it for years. This winter her under coat got so thick, it didn't seem to matter how much I brushed. I took her to a groomer, and they were not happy I was using this. They commented it does not remove nearly as much of the under coat as we think. She used a traditional rake and removed so much of her undercoat! It's still a good product, but now I use it in combination with a rake and have been having better luck at keeping her under coat under control! view more	Sep 29, 2011	18
Greatest tool to keep the hair down This tool is fantastic. I watched a video on it and was not 100% convinced to buy it, but my roommates complained about my cat's shedding. I have no regrets about buying it. I've had mine for over 3 years and the inner blade is still going strong. What it does is it gets to the inner fur that is shedding. The kitten loves it, he purrs every time I bring the furminator out. view more	Sep 28, 2011	23
Decent but not Necessary I do think the FURminator is a good product. However, I don't think it is worth the money for what it does. My kitty sheds like mad no matter how often I brush her, no matter what tool/brush I use. I could brush her for hours and fur would still come out. I will stick to cheaper tools that do the job just as well. :) view more	Sep 26, 2011	19
Got fur? Furminate it! We've got a cat who sheds like crazy. Some days it seems like we could make a whole 'nother cat with the amount of fur we pull off him. And he's a husky boy, too, which means there's even more fur than normal. We thought we would be brushing fluff away forever. But someone told us about the FURminator, and we rushed out to buy one. Oh. My. Gosh. What an amazing product. It pulls loose fur off him like crazy, and in an efficient way. But it doesn't make his skin irritated--in fact, when we take the FURminator out, both cats AND both dogs run over to get brushed! Now if only I could think of something to DO with all this extra fur, I'd be all set! view more	Sep 22, 2011	23
Well worth the price The FURminator is amazing! I was a little skeptical about spending so much money on it, but I finally took the plunge and it was a great investment! I used to spend $20 a month to have a deshedding treatment for my Golden, but that is completely unnecessary now! I've saved a lot! view more	Sep 20, 2011	15
Fur be gone! I bought the Furminator when it was on sale at Petsmart. It had a 30 day money back guarantee and since my cat has long hair and sheds incredible amounts I thought I would give it a try. It definitely gets more hair out when brushing than a normal brush. My only problem was that we got a little carried away and my cat had a bald spot on his side and his tail was a little scraggly because we brushed him too much and removed too much hair. It was nice because it didnt create the static electricity that most brushes do but just be cautious when brushing so you dont brush too much! view more	Sep 19, 2011	26
your pet can be furminated FUREVER I like this product but it is really expensive and I am not completely convinced that it works. I have a fiarly short hair dog and it seems like I can brush her forever and be in the same position. She starts to not like it. My other dog has longer hair I think it just gets the undercoat but still sheds a lot after. Also, if you get the smallest one and the blade breaks you can not replace theblade you have to replace the product. I don't spend $60 for a brush of my own I probably would never buy one again. view more	Sep 7, 2011	22
Ideal for shedding dogs Now that I have a furminator, I would never be without one. Although they are somewhat pricey, they remove huge amounts of hair with little effort. My retriever loves being brushed with it. The more hair I can get off him while brushing, the less hair I will need to remove from the floor later. view more	Sep 3, 2011	23
Even short-haired dogs will benefit from... Working as a vet tech, several of our clients recommended the Furminator to those of us who had pets with a lot of shedding hair. Even my three dogs were short-haired, I often had loads of hair on my carpet (enough to vacuum twice a day!), furniture and in my car. I finally decided to spring for the Furminator and crossed my fingers as I was not accustomed to spending "that kind of money" on a dog comb! The first time I used it, the Furminator paid for itself. When I was finished with the first dog, I was left with a pile of dog hair almost as big as the dog himself! Since then, I use the Furminator on my dogs weekly, I always manage to get lots of fur from their undercoats, and my need to vacuum has gone WAY down. The Furminator is so solidly well-made - I expect it to last my lifetime. I highly recommend this - EXCELLENT investment! view more	Aug 30, 2011	16
Great deshedding tool I was a bit skeptical when we bought this tool but I was quickly sold with just one use! We have a golden retriever and anyone who has one knows that means a lot of hair! This tool gets out so much hair and undercoat! You just have to be sure you don't do it too much in one spot and you need to be gentle. The instructions are easy to follow. view more	Aug 3, 2011	29
Very Effective, If Your Pet Will Tolerat... I bought this to use on my Siamese/Maine Coon mix cat, since her fur is VERY thick but short and she sheds like crazy. The FURminator works amazingly well on her coat- in one grooming session I can brush out enough fur to fill a plastic grocery bag. Definitely make sure you use it outside though, since the fur makes a pretty big mess. My only major problem with it is that my cat will only tolerate it for so long before she revolts. She doesn't enjoy it like she does her regular brush. view more	Jul 31, 2011	19
LOVE my Furminator I absolutely love the Furminator. I have a terrier mix and when I use the Furminator on him I am amazed at how much excess fur comes off of him ( and subsequently won't end up on my clothes, furniture, etc.) My dog loves to be "Furminated" -- when I reach for the tool he comes running! It's like a little puppy massage for him and keeps the shedding to a minimum for me. I would recommend this to anyone with a shedding pet. view more	Jul 8, 2011	30
one furry dog, not so furry house I LOVE the furminator line of products. We have a mixed breed dog that sheds like nobody's business and the furminator line has helped us keep our house and baby dog hair free. The shampoo and hair releasing conditioner are amazing and smell great, when used with the brush we can keep our dog virtually shed-free for 3-4 weeks or longer depending on the time of the year. if your dog sheds, buy this line or find a groomer that uses it, it is worth the money. view more	Jul 7, 2011	28
Somewhat effective - if the animal likes... The FURminator is a very effective grooming tool but only if the cat will allow you to brush them. The actual grooming process is a little long, but hopefully the animal you're brushing is relaxed and into the whole process. Works fabulous when you use it properly! view more	Jun 28, 2011	32
Very Effective I purchased one of these on the recommendation of a friend who has cats. Having three myself, I figured it was worth a try, even though it was priced significantly higher than the no-name and competing brands. The choice proved correct - it was worth it. One of my kitties loves me to use this on her. She is older and can't reach her back by her tail very well any more. This feels great for her! My younger cats don't shed as much and have little to no interest in me using this on them. My sister also has a lot of cats and her really big one goes crazy every time she busts out the Furminator. He would let you use it on him all day long. He is in full on kitty bliss! I would definitely recommend this to anyone with dogs, cats or other pets that shed. It really helps keep the fur off the bed, couch, etc. view more	Jun 25, 2011	32
This works and is a good investment! The Furminator is a great tool and works really well, depending on the type of coat that your dog has. That being said, buy it online for a better value then in a Petsmart or Petco. You will pay a lot less for it. Also it is better to shell out the money for a furminator that you can use at home rather than get the Furminator treatment at the groomer. The groomers only use it for 15 minutes (if they aren't super busy) and the amount of money you will save by not getting the package will more than pay for the Furminator tool in no time. view more	Jun 16, 2011	24
To FURminate, or not to FURminate I received a FURminator through a dog blog promotional giveaway. I had planned on purchasing a FURminator anyway, so I was absolutely thrilled with this win! I have so many grooming tools, and none of them seemed to help my very furry Pomeranian between professional grooming appointments. I finally started adding the FURminator treatment at my dog's salon, and problem solved! Unfortunately, the groomer tacked on another $15 per groom for the treatment, so it was clear that I needed my OWN FURminator at home! This fantastic tool is literally paying for itself! view more	May 30, 2011	36
Happy husband My husband's wardrobe pretty much all in black. Our dog is mostly white, and wow can she shed. Every morning before work my husband would have to use a lint roller on his clothes before leaving. He went out and purchased this of his own accord, and he is a much happier person for it. Our house is dog hair free, and she's so much nicer to pet now. It makes her coat feel much smoother and shinier. It was a decent amount of money, but we'd buy it again in a heartbeat. view more	May 26, 2011	29
Worth the price My husband and I have two dogs. A pointer and a blue heeler. Our blue heeler sheds like crazy. I brushed him everyday and he still shed all over everything! So, we took the plunge and bought the furminator. It was well worth the fifty dollars! I had no idea he had that much fur. It was disgusting! His coat, after only one use, is shinier, silkier and looks much healthier. I would completely recomend! view more	May 16, 2011	32
Can't beat it We have had our FURminator for a while now and it is absolutely the best brush on the market. Our short hair cat had lots of skin troubles due to shed hair trapped in her undercoat. The FURminator gets all the trapped hair out. She loves it! view more	May 1, 2011	29
Good bye matted hair! The Furminator is very good for cats with long hair. I have a pixie bob with a very dense double coat and at the begining of winter and spring he needs to be brushed quite a bit. the Furminator pulls the dead hair off and removes the bottom coat. I do not have to worry about Mojo's fur matting because the Furmnator takes care of it. view more	Apr 28, 2011	40
Works so well... I bought the 4 inch yellow FURminator about 2 years ago. It still works so well, it's just hard to believe. It's getting to that point where it needs the blade replaced, but still works well in the meantime. I've recently discovered that it works just as well on my cat as it does my dog - now that's a bonus! view more	Apr 22, 2011	31
Not my favorite grooming tool! I have two great danes. We received a Furminator as a gift from a friend with a Mastiff who loves this tool. Although I am sure it works fantastically on longer coated dogs or dogs with undercoats, it does not work well on my short coated Great Danes who have no undercoat to speak of. view more	Apr 19, 2011	33
Furminator = Furbulous, I mean FABULOUS! We have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a Border Collie/PWC mix and they both shed what seems like their body weight in fur daily! We're constantly brushing them and vaccuuming. We recently purchased the Furminator after hearing rave reviews from a friend with a German Shepherd, and it was on sale. Why did we wait so long?? It's fabulous. Both dogs seem to shed much less, and their coats are softer since it takes out most of the rough undercoat. If we use it once or twice a week, we've seen a vast improvement over brushing them several times a week with a normal dog brush. And they seem to enjoy the feel of it, I think it helps their itchy winter skin. view more	Apr 14, 2011	23
FURminator = FANTASTIC we just got a black lab...wow I did not know they could shed so much! I asked around and was told by several friends to ignore the price and buy the FURminator. I am so glad I did. It is well worth the money. view more	Apr 13, 2011	28
Furminator I bought the furminator a few months ago . I have to say I Do like it . The only problem is that when its full , you have to throw it away and buy a new one. I think that the company should make one that you can clean out and use again. But then if that were the case there would be less of them sold i guess , But still i think it would be a plus with reviews ! view more	Apr 8, 2011	35
Furr be gone! My dogs aren't shedders, but my cat was. In the end of her life she had tongue cancer and would drool all over her front legs. The fur became matted and ended up falling out. The furminator carefully and gently was able to remove the mats and end her discomfort! view more	Apr 3, 2011	45
Essential Tool!!! We have a giant schnauzer who sheds a good bit, especially when he's almost due for a new grooming. And, he's a puppy, so he gets lots of baths, which also contributes to additional shedding. And, the furminator is great! We brush him when we bathe him because it's much easier to get the tool through his hair then. It's so funny--the day or two after we use it, we'll get these clumps of hair off of him when we pet him. The furminator is great! And, I'd recommend it to anyone with a shedding breed dog. view more	Apr 1, 2011	28
Awesome for thick coated dogs My Shiba Inu dog only sheds twice a year, but when she does, her entire coat seems to come out in a week. The FURminator is awesome at helping to get the undercoat out so her fur for the new season can grow in. It works great and is easy to use. At first I balked at the price, but it's the only pet brush you'll ever buy, so I think it's worth it. view more	Mar 31, 2011	37
FURminator dog brush I have two short haired terrier dogs (Pitbull and Jack Russel) neither dog sheds a ton but I have allergies and hate cleaning dog fur off my furniture so I have tired many different brushes in the past that might work on short haired dogs.. non have compared to the FURminator. This brush works GREAT! Plus even my cat loves it! view more	Mar 28, 2011	40
Great for helping to keep your house cle... I love this comb. I saw the commercials years ago with the golden retriever in it. I have one now and when she starts to blow her coat, I use this and it help her shed it even faster, leaving her feeling better and my floors appreciating less hair!!! My cats love the smaller comb, it really helps to keep the fur off the furniture as much as possible. If I used a regular comb, I would not have this level of success! It is a bit expensive at the start, but well worth it. view more	Mar 23, 2011	33
2 Sib Huskies We have 2 Sibs and as most people know they shead 2 times a year Jan-June & July -Dec this is the only brush that we have found that helps make less fur bunnies around the house, after my wife gets done we can easly fill a shopping bag with just on side. view more	Mar 16, 2011	31
FURminator for cats I bought the FURminator to use on my two cats. I must say that it does a fabulous job of getting the fur off my two cats - when they let me. After many months, I still haven't gotten them to sit still for the combing for long. But, even a few swipes removes a ton of loose fur, especially during high-shedding weeks. I'm glad I have it, I just wish they'd let me use it more often! view more	Mar 15, 2011	28
it really works I have a basset hound and we have searched for something that actually do a proactive job at keeping shedding problems at bay. My husband found this sucker on sale and picked it up to try. Now, normally Copper (our dog) HATES being brushed but with in minuets he was passed out asleep while my husband brushed him! I'm not sure that we would have bought it if it hadn't been on sale, that why I only gave it 4 stars. view more	Mar 15, 2011	36
Only tool that works on my dogs fur We have a lab / cocker spaniel mix. She has short rough hair like a lab. We've never been able to find a brush that works. This thing is awesome! It pulls out all of the shedding hair, I'm still amazed at how much hair one brushing can get rid of. Plus my dog actually loves getting brushed now, she'll just sit down in front of you and let you go at it. view more	Mar 11, 2011	34
Battle of the fur: We WON We have a basset hound, and if you have ever been around a hound you know that shedding is a problem. They shed all year round. There are heavy times and then there are heavier times. Add on top of that, white fur and it become s a real mess. This tool changed everything. The first time we used it, we literally collected another dog from all the shed hair it got out. Then each time after that was a little easier. Now we really don't have to deal with shedding unless we get behind in brushing her. view more	Mar 10, 2011	32
They Do Work I got a Furminator last year for my cats. (The purple one). At first my cats freaked out and didn't want to have this thing touching them but I finally got them to settle down. After that I brushed them with it and wow did the fur come off. I can feel it pulling that thick undercoat out and it also seems to make their fur softer. I have 6 cats and this is a lifesaver. It helps minimize the fur on your furniture an carpets. Unfortunately it is pricey, that's why the 4 stars only. If cheaper it would get the full 5 stars. view more	Mar 10, 2011	36
Works for my dog This works great on my double coated American Eskimo. Definitely reduces the amount of white on my black dress slacks! He doesn't like it at all, but that's his problem. We like the results. Make sure you brush the tangles/mats out of the fur first, then use the furminator. It's always fun to see the piles of hair we brush out. view more	Mar 10, 2011	29
Works great depending on hair type I have had a FURminator for a couple of years, and it works really well... but on only one dog. My pug who sheds like crazy really benefits from being brushed with this. My older boxer has more coarse hair, and this works well on him too. My younger boxer, though, has very soft fine hair, and this won't even touch her. I guess I would recommend that you try it before you use it! view more	Mar 10, 2011	40
FURminator The FURminator is great! I bought mine at Petsmart and I use it all the time on my dog, I have to say it has really helped with her shedding. The shedding use to be out of control, but now that I use this on a regular basis her shedding has reduced a lot. view more	Mar 8, 2011	34
Furminator I purchased my furminator off of QVC. I have to say I was not really impressed with the product. It seemed to really pull on the fur. My cats were not very impressed and did not enjoy me using the furminator on them, view more	Mar 4, 2011	36
Less Hair on the Floor I didn't believe in this until I actually tried it out on my cat, who is short-haired and yet still manages to get fur everywhere. Needless to say, he sheds a lot less when I use the Furminator, which gets down into the deeper parts and combs the fur out. The infomercial is correct that you will see a LOT of fur come from your little pet. Mounds and mounds that come out now, so you don't have to sweep it off the floors later. Be careful not to brush too hard though because it is a tool that works by cutting the fur a little bit. Also, after a while of hard brushing, the kitten can be a little irritated by it, even though he also loves it when I bring it out. view more	Mar 2, 2011	36
