I feel like some sort of new religious convert when I find myself talking about the FURminator. I saw the adds on TV when it came out, and thought “Yeah right!”. Then I saw one in my local feed store, and on closer inspection did not thin it was considerably different to a lot of other shedding blades/rakes I’d seen for grooming (I’ve owned horses, dogs, and cats for years). However, there was a money back guarantee if not completely blown away, so I thought I’d give it a chance. It is amazing!!!! I use it on my Labrador and it takes out her undercoat so that if I use it once a week during shedding season we avoid the “cloud of hair” routine that usually occurs every time I pet her. The rest of the year I use it once a month or so and it removes whatever she is normally shedding. It DOES NOT CUT THE HAIR!!! I have heard people say they think it does, and given the amount of hair that comes off with each pull of the brush I can see why they think that is the case…. but if I use it on my dog #1- eventually I am getting less and less hair, and if it was cutting the hair I do not believe that would be the case and #2- if you look at the hair on the FURminator it is not cut, and when I check my dogs coat there is no evidence of a ragged effect that would occur at the time of grooming/or as the hair grew out if it had been cut. I have also used this on my cat with great success (she even likes it) and on my Border Terrier. The Border Terrier should be hand stripped, so this helps with his under coat a bit, but doe not take the place of hand stripping. It is good for between stripping sessions though. I have also lent it to a friend with a Chihuahua with a short slick coat (I was not sure it would work on a coat like that), and she was amazed by the amount of hair she got off of her dog. She then took it to a family get together and her mom and sister used it on the Newfoundland mix (no surprise it was GREAT there) and the cattle dog (Ausie mix, made an amazi
