FURminator Deshedding Tool
Posted under: The FURminator Deshedding Tool is a must have for any dog owner. I could sum up with review in one sentence. “I can’t live with out my Furminator” This is one product for the dogs that I use on a regular basis and I count on this product. I support FURminator deshedding tool 100%. This tool has saved me HOURS of cleaning up dog hair, I never knew that a bloodhound could shed that much and don’t even get me started on the amount Haylie my lab sheds. I just can’t figure out who sheds more the dogs or me?!
Can you believe its only in the last year that I knew what a FURminator deshedding tool was?! I thought it was something that a groomer used and with having a lab and a bloodhound they never went to the groomer since I could easily get them in the bathtub at home and brush them out in the backyard. I never really though about it much about it because Haylie hates to be brushed and Fred loved to be brushed so much no one wanted to brush him because he would sit there for 8 hours being brushed if you would let him.
I finally had enough with picking up all the dog hair in the house and marched right to Petco with the intentions to purchase a Furminator deshedding tool but when I got there I gasped when I saw the price of it. I will be honest I purchased the cheaper one and I will tell you that I was back in 4 hours exchanging the generic one for the Furminator brand. I can’t stress to you enough that its worth every penny they charge. I actually have an older model and when I was at Blog Paws 2012 this year I stopped by the Furminator booth to give my love to them and I was handed a new style tool to try out. I love the new Furminator deshedding tools that are out – the handle is so much more comforting compared to my older model and this one has a lever you press down to release the hair! This works perfect when you are trying to wrangle a dog who hates to be brushed while getting the job done as fast as possible!
Haylie gets leashed up between two trees when it’s time for her weekly brushing, she doesn’t not care for it and will run after 30 seconds of brushing unless she is put in a position to not run away. I’m hoping with time she will learn to love the furminator as much as I do!

The furminator is just the best! Finn comes over when I pull it out and we get it done quickly. I don’t know what I did before I had one either!
I’m a lazy dog owner….LOL since I walk them every day and brush them immediately upon their return, that’s about it.
Hopefully furminator will be at next year’s blog paws.
That Sissy would like and maybe Gg would tolerate… Wonder if there’s one at the PetCo across from the League office?
WE have MAD LOVE fur OUR Furminator!!! Ours is an older one too.. Our Groomer furend gave me some advice… Make an OK sign.. by putting your Index finger on your thumb in front of the furst joint… Put the Furminator handle THROUGH that hole… Never actually GRIP it with your hand.. The teeth are very Sharp… and this PREVENTS using it to… HARD on delicate skin… esp. on a short haired dog. It still does the SUPER DUPER job… it just won’t accidently Scrape Skin.
Ernie and I have to take turns… and I think mom does ERNIE WAAAAAAY too long… and HE says I get toooooo long a turn… THAT is how much WE love it.
it’s amazing how much those hound dogs shed, isn’t it? When we got our first basset, Dudley, someone told us bassets don’t shed. What they meant was they don’t blow their coats like a golden does. They SHED all darn year!
I have a generic version. Abby is like Fred and will let you brush her for days. Beau will only tolerate as long as he’s having fun. g
I think Furminators rock!

We have never tried it before, but were gonna try it now. Thanks
The silvers and more
I used to have a kitteh who could have used one of these. He shed EVERYWHERE!!!
With 7 cats, a FURminator is a life saver! It gets the deshedding done quickly and effectively. And it works great for Bernie the bunny too.
We have never tried one before but think this Furminator is pretty cool!
Cross tied like an old mule. Oh the horror!

P.S. We have on of those furminators. I love it, but PeeWee wiggles around like he’s on fire or something when momma tries to brush him.
We have wanted a furminator for a long time as well because I had no idea hound dogs could shed so much for short hair dogs. But the price scarred us away so we think we will put it on the Christmas List. We did try the new shampoo and conditioner that they sell. We fell in love with that shampoo and has helped with shedding and they are so soft after their bath. Our vet recommended the shampoo as they are using it all the time for their baths.
