The FURminator

That is SO COOL! I have always wondered if that actually worked…now I guess I have my answer! I have two very hairy family members that could definitely benefit from several brushings with that tool!

I would love one - I just one have one kitty, but I have a son with allergies, and I would love to be able to reduce his problems. I have a similar product, but I don’t think it works as well as what you’re talking about with the Furminator. Count me in!

I have been looking at the FURminator stuff for a while. We have the most nuerotic pug in the world. We have started with the food supplement, but I can’t justify spending $40 on a brush for him right now. I’d LOVE to win one!

I SO need this. My dog looks almost identical to yours (mine has a white chest) and she practically leaves a trail.

I wonder if it would help on short haired dogs? My lab keeps leaving all these little yellow hairs all over the place. Not enouhg that it’s noticeable, until you stand up and see them stuck to your pants.

Or maybe on the cats?

Oh this would be fantastic to use on my Westie. I’ve heard great things about it. Your review convinces me even more that I need it.

We could really leave this - We have a 100# black lab who is our little ones best friend and his favorite pastime is shedding…

FURminators sound like a great idea!! My Phoebe cat is always shedding hair and it’s worse when the weather starts to warm up - I find little piles of cat all over the house!! I swear I could make another cat out of them!!

I’m sad to say that I have two heavy shed dogs in our household - a Chow and an American Eskimo. I’ve tried several different tools (brushes, rakes, etc) but I feel like it’s a never-ending cycle because no matter how long I brush, I never feel like I finish the job. I would love to find a product that works really well.

OMG we have two very very furry furbabies and this sounds like an awesome product for us. Our entire house is marble and tile. At the end of the day EVERYDAY I have to run the vacuum over the entire house or you can see little tumbleweeds of fur blowing through the livingroom and other areas of the house. One of our cats is a russian siberian which is amazing FYI if you have cat allergies because they are hypoallergenic cats but boy are they furry and it gets everywhere! His coat is so thick that everytime we brush him it looks like your photos only times 3. I can only imagine what a difference this product would make for him. Our second kitty is also very furry and responsible for quite a bit of fur in our house and is not hypoallergenic. Please consider us for this giveaway! Thanks!

This would be aweseome for my furry boy. Even though his hair is short and to a degree unnoticeable it really shows in my dryer vent and vacuum. I (He) would love to win this!

I don’t need a FURminator because we already have one–just wanted to say that we LOVE it and it has helped the amount of hair floating around in our house immensely.

We have a Maine Coon cat named Smudge. She could really use this, as she is long haired and sheds balls of herself equal to kittens. Yikes!

I’d love to win one for my diva kitty Maggie - she’s old and very much the queen of the household.

I HAVE A LAB/HUSKY MIX. WE NEED THIS!

ohhhhh I have a cat that so needs this.

I have two four legged hairy creatures here. And wood floors. Sometimes, if you squint your eyes just right, you can almost see tumbleweeds rolling across the desert sands…

Yeah - it’d definately woudl be nice to win a furminator. The tumble weed/desert theme is clashing with my Asian decor!

We have an American Eskimo puppy that would definitely benefit from the FURMINATOR!

I would love to win this! We have a cat and dog so our house is covered in animal hair! I hate to have guest over because I feel bad when they get animal hair on them! This would be a lifesaver for me!

OH my goodness, I would love to have this… My dog might not love it as much as I would, but regardless..

I have a 24 pound Maine Coon cat who is a fur-producing maniac - I’d love to try the cat version on him!

I have the most Adorable Mini Schnauzer named Molly. She does not shed too much….but when she does, my Allergies and Asthma kick in. I heard about this comb from someone else. I Love the Idea of just sitting and combing her out. My daughters are all grown and I miss combing their hair after bathtime.

Our 100 lb. german shepherd, veggy, LOVES when we use this on him. It really gets most of the undercoat out and allows me to vaccum once a week!

I would love to win this for my parents. They have a dog that sheds like you wouldn’t believe, and no amount of brushing seems to help. We always say that you could use the fur she sheds to knit another dog!

I had no idea they made a FURminator for cats! I have to look into this…

I personally don’t need it, but my friend does! I get rather frustrated when I leave her house covered in dog hair. He sheds a lot and NEEDS this!!!

laura_licious101(at)hotmail(dot)com

We have a dog JUST like yours who is horrible about shedding all year around & I swear she should be naked by end of summer! LOL

i have a golden retriever…..would so love this brush!!

that looks great! I couldn’t believe how much hair my dog was shedding a few weeks ago when it was hot. THere were huge clumps all over the house!! It would have been nice to use on our kitty too, but we had to give him away today b/c we found out my daughter is allergic Anyways, we could still really use this for our lab dog!

This would be great for my dog Max. He’s not a very big dog, but man does he shed like one. I think my cat would enjoy a good brushing with this, too.

My dog doesn’t shed, but, if I win, could I use this one on my very, hairy cat?

Oh my gos! I need to try this. I have 2 long haired cats, a 7 month old who will soon be crawling, and I run a daycare in my home. Actually, I feel like I am constantly ‘run’ning after all the cat hair!

Thanks for picking me!

I have two hair balls at home. Two Poms that would be forever thankful to get their fur coats off.

They also work great on horses and we have 4 that would love one!

I have been wanting to get one f these for my mom! She has a Chow/Shepherd mix that sheds so much that you could probably build a new dog out of the hair every day. She shaves her in the warmer months but she still sheds so much out of her tail the hair gets everywhere!

If this works on cats, I want to try it on our 2 long-haired cats.

i have a cat and a lab that could use this. think i might have to check it out. thanks for the review.

I have heard great things about this brush - but it’s so expensive! My dog looks just like yours, but with a white chest and maybe longer fur - black lab/golden retriever mix. We joke around our house that a meal just isn’t complete without a side of Sully-fur. Our cat does her fair share of shedding too, but because she has less square footage I don’t notice it as much.

I need this very badly for my brother. No, not on him, but for his St. Bernard. A St.Bernard + Florida heat = lots of shedding. My brother just bought his very first house and the dog is shedding everywhere. I would love to give him this as a housewarming!

I was just telling hubby we need this. My huge, black, sweet as sugar cat SHEDS EVERYWHERE. Just touch him and he drops a pound of fur. It is everywhere. Would love to try this!

two shelties, a border collie, and two cats (and a baby learning to crawl)– need i say more?!

I NEED this for my Australian Shepherd! He sheds a ton, as does our cat! Please, please, please!

We have a golden retriever named Sadie who I love so much, but she sheds like crazy. A FurMinator would be great for her!

What a small world. Someone was just telling me about this yesterday. I need one for my furry kitty, Bailey. I’m about to bring a new baby home and I’m worried about all the cat hair. This would definitely help!

I’ve got a mutt that sheds, he’s a little guy with a lot of fur! I also have a newborn baby that’s gonna wanna start crawling all over the floors, so I’d love to get that extra fur off the Freddog OUTSIDE!

Hi, We have a 15 year old mixed dog with lots of black hair. He hates the sound of clippers, so we use scissors to trim him to the best of our ability! This tool sounds like it would be a great help to us. There are chunks of hair in our backyard, on our deck and in our home. Please enter me in your dog gone great contest. Thanks ,Cindi

Gosh I need this! We have two golden retrievers and a brand new crawling baby and I am vacuuming twice a day! I HATE shedding!!

my cat Brujita needs this. She loves to lay on her back and lets me brush her, but then she decides to shed on my carpet, couch, bed, you name it-and since she feels she is Queen around here, anything less than the FURminator would just not do!

Our dog Espn is part Rat Terrier and part Maltese. We refer to him as the “Hairy Rat Dog” for good reason…. he’s nothing but hair with les and eyes. LOL!!! We are constantly getting him to the groomer to get rid of some of it.

To top it off we have FOUR cats - two of which are HUGE and shed like crazy. So you can only imagine how much hair we have around our tiny one bedroom condo.

Something like this sounds perfect for both our dog and our cats.

I so need this, or I should say Coach needs it! He’s a 90 black lab, so our carpet is covered in black fur. Please help him!

we just got our puppy Chloe yesterday and I am sure we will need this soon

this sounds awesome for our furbaby Sam; I loathe floating dog hair that finds a place on your visitor’s black slacks.

yourstrulee at sasktel dot net

I sweep everyday. I have swept up enough hair to knit everyone I know a nice black and white sweater. I need help! The ogs can stay, but this dog hair issue is really annoying. I’d love to try this. Thanks!

Ever since katrina my husband and I have been living in a 19′ travel trailer with 2 dogs and a long haired cat - trust me…we NEED a FURminator!

I have 2 shih tzus! I can’t afford a furminator but have wanted/needed one badly! Please pick me

I have never heard of this product. I could really use one with a black lab and 4 cats…..

We could definitely use this on the cat. Maybe the dog too, but she has shorter hair. Great giveaway, thanks!

I have 2 dogs… Gunner my 8 year old Mixed breed, we rescued him and his brother Ed from a farmer who was going to drown any leftover puppies (Ed passed away last fall from cancer).. Gunner is my biggest shedder.
My other dog is Leo a 2 1/2 year old Pomeranian.

Thanks for entering me!

Cat hair is a condiment around here! With three long-haired cats and a shedding dog, I could sure use one of these!

we have a 200lb english mastiff that sheds a whole new dog every day! This would be great for him.

We sure could use one but I would have to share with my mom. Her cat sheds something horrible! Thanks for the great giveaway!

a friend has one and LOVES it. I would love to have one for my yellow lab - i’ve just been put off by the price tag. thanks for the great giveaway.

I need this too. I am sure as a fellow dog owner that you have seen those tumbleweeds made from dog hair. The other day I was moving a chair around on the wood floor, and what should appear? yes, the imfamous hair tumbleweed! It is summer alright, if I did not know because of the weather the shedding dog would have clued me in!
Thanks for the giveaway.

Boy, I could sure use this, we have a beagle & it’s amazing how much he sheds! Those stiff little hairs are almost impossible to suck up with the sweeper. Great giveaway, thanks!

My family member would kinda be like my sister-it’s my parents’ dog, Sunni. She is a German Shepherd mix and sheds like crazy! Mom has to vacuum every day to keep all of the hair under control in the house! She brushes her outside when she has the chance, but the FURminator sounds like it would be a huge help!

I own a chow chow need I say more!

I have a large calico cat that sheds like crazy. She leaves large patches of black fur on the light colored carpet and large patches of white and orange fur on my dark navy chair.

My cat Panda could defiantly use this!!

[...] 5 minutes for mom-the furminator/ 7/15/08 Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)so funny [...]

I have tried everything without much luck–would love to try this on my JRT.

My old hairy cat who keeps losing his hair sure could use this.

Hope it works for cats too.

I have a long hair, Maine Coone mix that really needs some help with his grooming! Plus to other short hair cats that actually shed more than the long hair. I’d LOVE to get a FURminator for cats!

Brando, the cutest 80 lb 8-month old golden retriever, is fun but really furry. Add that to the cat (Tom Anderson) as well as visiting play date pups, and we have lots of pet hair. I’ve heard great things about this Furminator and would LOVE to have one.

Thanks! Debba http://www.girlfriendology.com

I have a golden retriever, a german shepherd and a 7 month old who just started crawling. Why do I need one of these? To keep my daughter from having a mouthful of hair as she explores her new found skills!

Living in a home with three white-ish cats is a major challenge when you want to have dark furniture or wear dark clothing. All three of those critters could benefit from an effective brushing.

Looks like id really does work… Hope, they’d come up with the same thing for cats soon (hopefully, very soon!) as my entire flat is in fur when my cat starts shedding:(

I would LOVE one of these for my Siamese cat! She’s a furball and my 13 mo dd is always giving me fists full of fur. THANKS!!!!!

AWESOME REVIEW! I have seen it and as well have thought, gee another contraption to add to my pile I already have and never use. But this is exciting. I have 2 corgis and 2 kitties. So I could definitely benefit from this!!! Our floors in my house would thank you.. and my aching back vacuuming 2-3x a week!

Oh what a great thing! My mom has a Corgi named Jackson who sheds EVERYWHERE. I honestly didn’t know that a short haired dog could shed so much! When she babysits my son, he comes home with hair on everything! We’ll find it in our mouth the NEXT DAY! I don’t know how she deals with it…this would be great to give her!

Oh, we would really love to win this.
We have two boys, I mean, two dogs. They are German Shepherd Dogs & their names are Louis & Otto. As many pet owners feel, we feel they are a part of our family. They are a tremendous help to my husband. My husband has MS and ‘the boys’ are like his ability dogs. Where dh goes, they go. Period. They know his every move & it seems like they even know his thoughts. LOL
Anyway, at least twice a year they don’t just shed, they “blow their coats”. LOL That’s really the term for it! Their hair comes out by the handful!
Thanks for all of your great contests!

My daughter left home for her first apartment, but her 90 lb lab, Midas, stayed with us. Now she’s back home–an extra year of college–but we’re still the one VACCUUMING the fur off her dog!! Yep, whenever the house gets vacuumed, Midas follows us around, waiting for his turn.
The FURminator sounds like it’s a whole lot easier!

My little baby doll needs a furminator!! Oh she would love this. Thank you

My daughter, who has a white shepherd, bought the Furminator. Really funny when I saw the pile of white fur she “furminated” from his body - it looked like a whole ‘nother dog. (The birds loved it - they made their nests in the birdhouses with it). Well, I/we need one - we have 2 dogs and 2 cats - especially one furry white cat who sleeps in this computer chair and leaves a little (a lot) of himself there everytime he leaves. My husband HATES to have a “hairy rump”!! Hah.

Our cat has been going through “The Big Shed” for the last couple of weeks and is driving me crazy. I can brush her and brush her, removing at least another cat’s worth of fur and fluff, only to have her get up, walk away, and drop three more clumps of fur along the way. I am tired of finding her fur balled up under th couch, along the edges of the stairs, and adhered to the carpet. I am so glad this only happens once per year.

my dog thak- you furmimator

I have a Sheltie (think little Lassie) and he is shedding badly right now! We could use this!!

He looks soooo relaxed - take it easy. Sounds like a winner.

Oh, my Max could really use this. He is a siberian husky and he is shedding like crazy. He is a year old and we brush and brush and there is still more hair. I seem to spend alot of my day cleaning up dog hair

I am sold! We have 2 boxers and a kitty.

We have three super-furry animals. All cats. Our house looks like an old west ghost town, what with the cat hair tumbleweeds rolling by.

We could definitely use one for our cat.

We have a yellow lab and a furminator brush ….its amazing!It really cuts down on the amount of fur in the house!We got a good deal on ebay for ours:)
We have tried the shedding blades and mittens and nothing comes close to the furminator!

Oour family has needed one so badly, we have one short hair and one scruffy dog. they shed equally, which is a LOT. we also live in a newer home and there is a ton of construction around us and my husband and mine allergies are through the roof this year (never had them before). even the dogs are sneezing fools! This tool would be a lifesaver! not to mention save us the 15 minutes ever other day we spend vacuuming the whole house while sweating!

I would LOVE to win this! I saw it on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch on CNBC when they were just coming out. I have several “furball” cats who are in desperate need of this tool.

We desperately need this!!! My poor vacuum is tired of cleaning up dog hair. lol

2 dogs and 5 cats. Boy do I need this! I need all 5 of them! My vacuum is tired and I have gone through so much duct tape to get pet hair off of furniture and clothes! The old brush and comb just don’t cut it!

We’ve got two dogs. One is half poodle, and she rarely sheds, unless she’s stressed, which isn’t very often. My other dog is a dalmatian/border collie cross, and BOY does she shed!! Sometimes, I almost gag, watching her itch her flank and all this hair is pluming off of her! I vacuum daily. She’s a very sweet dog, thankfully.

I have a Cavalier King Charles spaniel who is so beautiful, but he sheds sooooooo much that we’re convinced we have a whole house full. We also have Norwich terriers, but since I hand strip them, they don’t shed as much as Mojo.

My neighbor has 3 dogs, what a great gift this would make

I would give this to my neighbor as they have a pet cat that is forever shedding. If you go in their house and sit on their couch you will be engulfed with fur…much fur. When they go to vacuum, it takes about three cleaner bags full just to pick up the fur lingering everywhere. If I were to win, this is the person I’d give it to.

My dog Cody has been banned to the backyard because there has been nothing we have found that has helped with his insane shedding. I would love to try this and let our dog back into the house.

We have FOUR precious babies in our house, all covered in fur. We love the animals but not the hair! I’ld love to try the comb!

Your pup is adorable! My cat Kali needs some help from the furminator. She’s “just” a short haired cat, but GOOD GRAVY does she shed. I’ve been brushing her everyday (well, I TRY to everyday) and she’s just a mess.

We have 3 dogs, and one of them is a major shedder! We would love to try this out on Trooper!

We have two dogs with a regular third when we’re dog sitting for my sister. Two are shedders, the one that isn’t is the one that gets the groomer the most for hair cuts. This item would make three pooches very happy with the special attention they get when being brushed.

PS I meant when we dog sit for my sister’s dog - my sister doesn’t need brushed!

Our black lab leaves enough hair on our kitchen floor that we’ve been thinking about gathering up the leavings and putting together a small puppy… DAILY! She’s a lovely girl, but she needs some serious help! Between my husband’s accident last year (still suffering a great deal of pain and more surgeries on the way) and our two children (29 months and 9 months), I’ll admit that her coat has been unintentionally put on the back-burner, so to speak. It sounds like the FURminator would be a welcome relief for her (and my poor floors!).

What a great prize and with 2 dogs who love the furniture more then I do these will come in handy. Thanks

I would LOVE one of these for my cats. I’m pretty sure there are only two of them, but with all the hair they shed, it often feels like more.

We actually just got a new kitty. I’d forgotten how hairy cats can be. So this would be great. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Hmmm, which furry friend should I write about? In my household, there are three cats and three dogs…all of them are shedders. Surpisingly enough, it is the short haired dog that sheds the most. The “Furmintor” sounds perfect for my shaggy kitties and bad boy shedder! Thank you.

We have one cat, Lola, who has long hair. In summer, when one of us comments to her, “Aren’t you hot under all that fur?” someone else will inevitably answer for her, “I’m shedding as fast as I can!” This sounds like a potential solution. (Would also cut down on hairballs which are, of course, disgusting!)

We need one in our house. My kids are supposed to help vacuum/sweep/clean up the dog hair but surprise — they just never seem to want to! This sure seems like it would be a huge help to me! I love our dog, but I can do without the dog hair everywhere!

Boy, could we use this. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. There is a lot of shedding in my house.

wow! i need this. i have a dog and a persion cat. its an unbeliveable amount of fur to clean up.

Happy, my big black lab is shedding tons of hair and it is all over the house. Any help I can get with this mess would be great.

I have 3 dogs and REALLY need this.

I thought I had to login to post but couldn’t find where to login at.

Jazzy, my black lab is shedding tons!!! I just vacuumed and couildn’t believe it!

She sure could use this tool!!!

Thank you for the great giveaway!

fluegas5(at)gmail(dot)com

OMG! This tool is the best thing ever! A miracle worker. My husband and I got one and it works wonders. I would like to enter to win one for our best friend’s (married couple) who have a 6 yr. old son who has not brought home to them a shaggy dog and a long haired himalayan like cat… they need this tool for sure!

mgoddess5(at)gmail(dot)com

It’s good to know it works so well! I’ve looked at the furminator many times, since I have two cats that shed on EVERYTHING. They’re both black and white, so the white hairs show up on the dark clothes, and the black ones on light clothes, so nothing’s safe. I definitely did not want to spend around $40 for something that wouldn’t work, but now that I know that it really does, I’ll save a few bucks or so from each paycheck until I can buy it! I think my cats will love it, too, because they love ANY kind of brushing implement. The brushes just don’t work all that well for ridding of fur.

I have 2 saint bernards and have gone through 5 vacuums over the years and have hair all over my house, i really need this to help me out

My dog is a Lab mix and he has a beautiful, thick gray undercoat. It’s all over the house! I’d love a brush that actually works to remove his hair.

I just adopted a Pomeranian mix from the pound and I need this!

I have two Alaskan Malamutes and with that double coat this would be a great tool to have. Thank you so much.

My Loofus & Chester would love this! They are cats, but they love being combed!

My Pharaoh needs this tool, I can brush him several times a day and he still sheds alot Thanks for the chance

My vacuum cleaner could sure use a break! We have a German Shepherd mix named Bella who excels at shedding… hair, hair — everywhere!!

My daughter has the cutest little puppybut the dog looks like a little mop so I’m sure this tool would be a help!

This would be great. Our cat Chippy is a real shedder, and our house is a giant dustbunny to prove it. Thanks!

Between my dog and my 2 cats we could really utilize this tool in a big way.

We live in Arizona. Karen, our 15 year old kitty, loves to go outdoors. With the heat, she certainly needs to be combed every day to get rid of that extra fur.

Oh, we could definitely use one around here! Big Red is an 80lb Golden Retriever who looks like a 150lb red tumbleweed most of the time! I could easily knit a few extra dogs each week from the fur that comes off him (if I knew how to knit, that is!).

OMG! This is just what I need for Eve she doesn’t like to rid herself of her unwanted fur. This would be perfect!!!!

My German shepherd Sable sheds more hair than the local beauty salon. I really need this tool!

If you ship to Canada, I would love one for my German Shepard Cross pup, Emma. You can read all about Emma (and other things) on my blog withanangelonmyshoulder.blogspot.com

Libby is in desperate need of one of these!!! she leaves little white hairs everywhere…thanks :O)

Winning this would be a dream come true. Our black lab, Lizzy, seems to shed a million times a year. We have to sweep, mop & vacuum the floors EVERY day, otherwise, it’s a furry mess. So, maybe this would help. Thanks for the chance to win!

Our dog Maggie needs this desperately. Well, I need it more, b/c I sweep and vacuum her hair every day!

Oh, we have been planning to buy one of these. To win one would be fabulous. Ursula with the long black hair and allergies is always shedding.

i have a Dog (Oreo)and a Cat( Max) i soooooooo need this !I have to vacuum every Day and it seems like a never ending battle

love to try it on my dog, shiela. never sure if this sort of thing would actually work

Our pomeranian loves to be brushed and will give you a nice big kiss for this!

[...] Where: 5 Minutes for Mom [...]

[...] Minutes for Mom is giving away a Furminator. I entered for this myself, with this at home I really could use [...]

I need help, my whole family needs help, we’re all quite pitiful.

I’ve got a cat and a dog so one of these would really help out.

Mr Jack Coonhound would ♥ a FURminator!

I have 2 super hairy/shedding cats, I swear I can get a brush full out of each of them daily! This sounds like I get more out and my kitties would be cooler this summer!
