When I first received an offer to take a look at the FURmintor deshedding tool for dogs, I thought, “Well–I have a dog, and she does shed, but I don’t think that I have time to look at and review some sort of doggie comb,” so I never replied.
Later I was looking at my emails, and I decided to look into this product a bit more, so I did what I always do–turned to the amazon community of reviewers–to see what they had to say about the FURminator. I was convinced by the reviews–four and a half to five stars across the board.
Soon I was holding the FURminator in my own hands (as well as some waterless deShedding shampoo and deShedding treats). I liked the feel of it. It was heavy and sturdy in my hands–easy to hold. With the weather heating up, now was the perfect time to try it.
I called the dog over to a nice shady spot under a tree. Hard to believe that someone as cute as she is can be responsible for so much shedding, isn’t it?
The process was easy, and just as it showed on the package, the hair was coming out without pulling. It was like she was getting a good rub-down. My husband came over, and I said, “Look at this! Look at how much is coming out. It’s so easy.”
He laughed at me and accused me of sounding like an informercial. However, as he sat and watched, he could have earned a starring role as well. As he was petting her, he observed (with a little excitement in his voice), “She even feels lighter.”
On the package it showed the amount of hair that was removed from one session. I brushed Shadow for about 10 minutes that day, and about 10 minutes the next day, getting out equal amounts of fur each time. I could have continued brushing her if I had time. I think that the sturdy grip prevented my hand from cramping up.
With regular use of the tool, shedding can be reduced up to 90%. It also reduces the amount of pet dander, which is what causes allergic reactions.
Terry and I aren’t the only fans of the FURminator. When I mentioned the product to a friend later that day, she said, “We’ve been using it a while. We love it!”
You can find out more info and watch a video of the FURminator in action at their site. Amazon has awesome prices and a nice selection (there are different sizes and a cat and equine version as well).
If you’d like to win one of 5 FURmintors, leave a comment here telling me about your family member that needs some help (and no, it doesn’t work on humans, although I’m a big shedder myself).
We’ll post the winners on July 16.
Hannah S. says
My friend breeds pomeranians. Right now they have about fourteen. The problem is they never have time to groom them and they live outside in a kennel. Summers coming up and we live in Texas. HELP US! I volunteer to groom them when I get a chance but nothing seems to really work. I spent two hours brushing one dog and got three walmart bags full of fur and there was still more, and these are toy breeds. Please help us
dale says
We have an adopted 5 year old, 105lbs, Alaskan Malamute who is starting to blow his winter fur, I could really use a free large furminator and so could the dog and our home. The rake we have helps but not like a furminator, if I do not get a free one, I will be investing in one.
Stacey Lenz says
My house is a little crazy my oldest is Frank a 10 year old white boxer next comes Freddie a 5 year old yellow lab and lastly Chloe a 1 year old maltese(who does’nt shed thank god!)Freddie and Frank shed a ton, it’s a everyday job trying to keep up with the fur, I use a shedding tool, but theres still a ton of hair, it probably does’nt help that their spoiled rotten and sleep on the couch an in our bed! hair or no hair we love them!! would love to try your brush.
Kathleen Dennison says
OMG, do we need a Furminator!! When we got our precious Petra (a Jack Russell/Dashund mix) we thought, “Oh, short hair, not much shedding.: Boy were we wrong. Fur is on EVERYTHING, little short hairs that stick. We have a rug that was burgundy. Now it’s white unless I vacuum every day. Short of shaving her bald, it is a forever problem, but she is so very sweet we couldn’t do that.
Pamela White says
Our german shepherd King is an inside outside dog so the different temperature changes make him constantly loose hair. The back seat of my car might as well be a shag rug. After I vacuum he comes in and by the end of the day there are hair bunnies blowing across my kitchen floor. Please help me.
Shakeia Rieux says

Susanne Troop says
My dog would benefit from this!
Brandy says
I have heard great things about the FURminator, and would love to try it! We have a chocolate lab, and a pomeranian/sheltie mix. Both are what I would consider moderate to heavy shedders 🙁
Suzanne Reichel says
I would love to try the FURminator. We have two large dogs (a mastiff, and a mastiff/American bulldog mix) and two cats — as you can imagine, things can be rather hairy around our house!
Lisa P. says
My dog is a basset/lab mix with an insanely thick undercoat. She sheds majorly about twice a year, but she hates being combed due to arthritis sensitivity in her limbs. A comb like that would get the hair out faster and make the entire experience less traumatic for the both of us!
Donna Kozar says
We have a black lab named Chance that really needs this. He sheds so much!
Lisa P says
I would love one of these for Kona, our Malamute Retriever mix! We usually pay the groomer to do this. How great it would be to do ourselves!

Samantha says
We have a double-coated, long-haired dog with white fur that shows up everywhere. It’s all over the house and you can bet it’s all over me, too. It’s particularly obvious when I’m wearing black clothes. He doesn’t like to be brushed, so something that works so efficiently would be really great for us! Thanks for the opportunity!
Renee Turner says
In our home (also called the zoo)- this could be used on any number of pets- Bo the dog, or America, Bubbles, or Wonder the cats.
Sharold Friedrich says
We have several fur members of our family that sure could use this. My dd is so tired of her summer chore of vacuuming all the pet fur every day. She wants them all to wear hair nets.
kathy says
I have a black lab named Katy who looks very similiar to your dog! Although her fur is short, I often tell her I could create a small dog just from the fur she sheds each week! Would love to try the FURminator!
Lonna says
I need this 4 my dog! ty 4 the great useful contest! 🙂
Jennae says
My mom’s dog sheds like nobody’s business. Her hair is everywhere! On the furniture, rugs, kitchen…and washing the rug doesn’t help. This would really help us! Its so bad that when my daughter is there, I make her wear a stocking cap to stop her from getting dog hair all over her head!
Silver says

shelley says

Jenny Ham says
My vet was using the furminator on my cat and I could not believe it. There was so much hair coming off my cat it was unreal. I would love to have one of this I have three cats and I am sure it would cut down on the hair left around the house if I could comb them with the furminator.
Brandy says
This tool would be so much help at our house!!! I have a golden and a golden/newfoundland mix so the hair at our house could build a new dog every couple of days! Brushing brings piles but I know theres still a ton on them just waiting for a shake to bring it out. Worst part….I’m allergic to my own dogs -_- but I love them so much. I couldn’t bear to part with my girls.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Terri L says
I have a black lab that could use this as well as a wooly jersey rabbit! And most likely the cat as well!
kathy pease says
my chow chow bella sheds everywhere we are thinking of just letting our rug turn white from her fur 🙂
Brooke says
We have a dreadlock shedding cat. Please help us by randomly picking us.
Alli Walton says
I have 2 cats, but Jack is the serious shedder. He’s a long hair – but we can’t shave or trim his hair because he’s so terrified of clippers and we can’t scare him because he has a heart murmur. So it’s brush brush brush brush brush and try to bathe the squirmy guy. And he still leaves hair everywhere. He likes to sleep on a formerly white couch too. 🙂 So no matter what we will have to brush him forever – it’s our only option. So any brush that takes out the mess without pulling sounds like a great tool!
kristen cook says
I have 2 dogs that shed, one whippet with white fur and a greyhound who is brindle colored. Now my whippet with the white fur sheds all over my brown cloth sofas, ugh!! I would love to find a way to limit the shedding!!

I have a dog and I inherited 3 cats.

Deb says
I have a little black dog who is not supposed to shed, but she does. She has a very heavy coat and this tool might help her out. She doesn’t care much for the groomer!

Sand says
My puppy could really use this as her coarse short hair sheds everywhere! It really wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t all white. I haven’t worn black in months because of it.
Sharon Fairclough says

Diane says
My Dad’s dog Gabby, a mixed sheepdog and something, really sheds like mad. We just moved the couch while re-arranging furniture and could have covered at least half a dog with all the fur we found under there.
Shawne S says
Man, do I ever need this! My furniture has dogs built right in by now with all the fur. We’ve tried everything to defur our 5 fur-babies and I’ve heard this really works!
Auriette says
I’ve heard so much about the FURminator, and I’d love to have one! Let me tell you about seven family members who could use it. WICKET, JYNX, and PRESTO are very fluffy and suffer terribly in the Florida heat. INDY, REMY, MISHA, and TRICKSTER have fur that is short but very thick. The FURminator would be such a blessing to help reduce hairballs and keep them all cool and comfy in the summer.
Beverly M says
I’d love to win one
Amy Phillips says
We have two Boxers (Paisley & Bash ) and they are shedding all the time, to make matters worse my son has asthma and their hair bothers him, so this might be the answer.
C Duran says
My dog Hannah could really use this! She is famous for filling our house with fur.

[email protected]
Kathryn says
my mother, she works, has her home, but is also taking care of her mother at her home. Her husband is wonderful and helps with errands for her mom, but she could use a few extra hands…
Jennifer M. says
We have three dogs and a newborn baby. I try constantly to clean up their fur, but anytime the baby is on the sofa or floor, she ends up looking like a yeti. The largest dog is a golden retriever and has beautiful long gold fur which is not so beautiful rolling across the house or piling up on the stairs. They have so much pet dander that when they’re standing in the light just right, they always look like pigpen. I’m so glad to hear this tool really works.
Angela H says
I have 4 cats and 2 of them shed enough to make another cat each. I would love to try one of these. I have tried so many other combs and brushes and nothing seems to work at all.
Rachel Fox says
I have 2 Fox Terriers that shed badly, so they NEED this! Also, I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to use it on my SUPER HAIRY Fiance’!
P T N says
I have 2 dogs (German Shepherd/Border Collie cross and a Border Collie/??? cross) and no matter how many times we brush them, they still shed an enormous amount of fur. We vacuum the house as much as we can but no matter how many times we do it, after a few days the furballs resemble giant tumbleweeds and I swear I feel like I’m walking into a gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
Trips to the cottage with both dogs? Total nightmare. Even with all 4 windows open (and the sunroof!) it’s like a tornado of fur spinning around us and my wife and I are constantly pulling fur from our eyes and spitting out stray hairs. By the end of the trip, we’re practically hacking out hairballs.
We love our dogs but they seriously need help! Save us FURminator!
Christie Canfield says
I have an elderly cat that doesn’t clean himself as well as he used to. The Furminator will be a great help in keeping him healthy.
Huguette E. says
Pet hair everywhere drives me crazy, this would be awesome!
Lawrence Le Blanc says
Boy, with 13 cats, this would make life a lot easier!!! Great contest!
Dawn says
My sheltie babies are so in need of this!
Debbie M says
My dog sheds in the winter, summer, spring, all year long. She has short hair and we thought it would be so much easier rather than a long haired dog. Heck no, that short hair seems to become part of all our clothing and furniture. We really need this as I am tired of always bing covered in dog hair.
Katie says
I grew up on a farm, one that my mom still lives on. We have always taken stray cats into our care and built outdoor cat houses and fed them on our deck. We work hard to get them all spayed/neutered. Currently she is feeding 17 outside cats. Most are pretty tame. Unfortunately, that many cats make a big mess! Their fur they shed looks more like tumbleweeds on the deck and out into the grass/field. Winnning this would be a big help. She also has 3 indoor cats and a dog. She isn’t a creapy cat lady or anything… just trying to help all the strays that get dropped off on the property.
Chrystal says
I need this for Snowball, my very long-haired 18-pound white cat that sheds a lot!!
Paula Harmon says
We have a big 17 pound cat (we rescued from a park) and a little long-hair chihuahua (the cat is 4X her size) but they both shed big time and I am constantly lint-rolling myself, the kids, and the pets, trying to control the hair.
JESSICA G says
I swear if I could sell cat hair by the pound my cat could probably cover his own food & vet costs. Man that sucker can shed!
Melanie Coleman says
I have a corgi named sammy and he leaves fur everywhere! I brush him often and still find fur all over, this would be a wonderful tool to win.
Beverly Nelson says
My Bichon ,JT, has requires some serious grooming. He is currently sporting a summer fro .A tool like this would be a big help in grooming.
Karrie says
my half lab/retriever sheds like crazy, I saw one of these in a magazine ad and I would love to try it out
Kyle Banderman says
I have a Westie and she sheds like crazy! This would be great! Thanks for the contest!
[email protected]
Michelle says
I have two rescued lhasa apsos that this could work wonders on. This tool could greatly help their thick undercoats.
Melissa Baber says
Hello! I am in desperate need of a combing tool like the furinator because I have a dog rescue and I have in residence anywhere from 10-20 dogs waiting to be adopted. They have all different lengths of hair which they leave all over me, my house and any guests that visit. This tool would greatly cut down on my grooming time and give me more quality time with them!
Kathleen says
I’m a cat person. We recently got a dog–my very first–and people said, “Oh, they shed a lot!” and I thought, Pfft, they can’t shed any more than cats do. The dog comes to live with us, a nice little short haired pug. People said, Oh wow, and pugs shed even more than most dogs! I thought, Pfft, it barely has any hair TO shed!
Then shedding season arrived.
He thinks he’s a lap dog, of course, and I spent about a half hour absently petting him while watching TV. Both the chair and I were completely–and I really sincerely mean COMPLETELY–covered with fur. And as I continued to pet, fur continued to come out. The dog didn’t look any different at all, no bald spots like I would have thought, nothing.
Please, save us.
DARIJAVAN says
This would be great for my work dog.
Jamie says
This is definitely needed in my house. We have two dogs and have tried almost everything to get rid of the hair that is everywhere.
Belinda Shaw says
I really need this! I have a 70 lb black lab and a 120 lb St. Bernard and I can’t keep up with all the fur! My sweeper and hair rollers just won’t do the job.
[email protected]
Lisa says
There are 3 fuzzy members of our household that would benefit from this greatly!
Plus, our visitors will thank you! 😛
Shelley Slider says
All 3 of our girls need help and quick! This would be a lifesaver at our house!
Carolyn T says
I don’t see my previous post on here so I’m trying again. Sorry if it slipped my eye. Anyway, we have a Lab, who at 100lbs, sheds A LOT! Our other dog is a Belgian Shepherd and has pretty long hair that covers our floors. We also have 2 cats…more animals in our home than humans! I would love to win this and have another tool in my arsenal against the hair! Thanks for the great giveaway!
TJR says
WOW – MY 3 SPINONES COULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM THIS – BIG LAP DOGS LEAVE HAIR ON FURNITURE – FLOOR AND ALL OF OUR LAPS – ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE DOGS BUT LESS HAIR WOULD MAKE THEM EVEN MORE FUN!! CAR TRIPS WOULD BE THE BEST WITHOUT THE HAIR!!
Catherine KingChuparkoff says
My 6 year old daughter has asthma, so any new product that could help her would be wonderful…we have 3 dogs and this product sounds useful.
Constance Swearingen says
My 6 month old austrailian shepherd Gunney is starting to grow into his adult coat. Having had aussies for 20 years I know what this means… dog hair EVERYWHERE. Good thing my boy loves grooming sessions, all my tools are in a kit and he prances when he sees me break it out. I would love to add this to my tools.
Thank you.
Rita S says
I have 2 lovely ladies that tend to shed a lot in the spring.
Juan says
This is something I have dreamed about…
I have 2 huge hairballs and this could help out so much
Jennifer Walker says
I have a dog that sheds a lot but she is very sensitive and doesn’t like being brushed. I’ve been looking for a product that will be as gentle as it is effective.
[email protected]
carmen a says
Although our dog is short-haired, he sheds alot and all over the carpet and the backs of the couches that he so loves to rub and lay against. We have one baby and another on the way. If I could eliminate some of his shedding it would save my marriage 😉 seems like a great product.
Wendy Ing says
What a great contest! I was at the Vet when I first saw the FURminator and was very intrigued since my cats shed A LOT. I haven’t gotten one yet because it’s quite a bit of money and the vet bill was enough!!! I would love to be one of the five winners – I’m a big fan of cat tips when it comes to shedding fur. I even went so far to as to buy a Roomba, which you may want to consider as well. It’s great for picking up the light fluffy hairs and getting into corners but it does require cleaning before each use. The more solutions the better, I get a lot of south-east sun and seeing the cat hair floating around drives me crazy!
Kym says
I have 2 Great Pyrenees who need this badly – maybe it would help them so much that I wouldn’t have to sweep and vacuum up half a dog a day!
judy folk says
my little hairball pebbles could absolutely use one of these tools; i love her and every little hair on her little calico body but wow does it get on everything including my furniture
vicky laurent says
I need this with a pug that sheds all year long and two cats!
Anna Martin says
WOW! What a great solution! I have HAIR HAIR PET HAIR EVERYWHERE!
Marla says
I would love to win this. I have two white family members that could stand to be brushed with this daily!
Jennifer Hedden says
I need this for my cat
Paula S says
I would love to win this! We have two border collies and an aussie who compete in herding competitions. Their fur is very hard to clean after a day in the sheep field.
Carol Drury says
what a great prize!!!!!
Eryn says
we have a cat that has long clingy hair. Last summer (out of nowhere, I don’t know what possessed him) my husband had him shaved (like a lion!) when he was in for some vet work. He looked ridiculous, but he loved it. Well this summer’s heat is here, and we don’t have any expendable income to spend on cat shaving (lol) so we tried brushing him with our other pet brush and the handle BROKE! Ick. Anywho, I’m glad to see your awesome review of this brush!
Sharon Shires says
I got hardwood floors partly because I thought it would help make it easier to cleanup dog hair. However, the problem now is that even a small amount makes it look like we never clean. I come downstairs everyday and there is a new batch of hair for me to sweep. It looks like little furry animals everywhere. Once it is swept into a ball it looks like we got another cat. I can really use one of these.
Dara Nix says
I have 3 cats and a dog and it is HOT as HADES here in Florida!! Need I say more??
Thanks!!
Tim Mooney says
Daughter’s dark fured dog on cream colored carpeting…..YUK!!

Funny coincidence…..was at a Pet show this weekend and this lady told me about the Furminator……very cool!
Shari D says

Sonja T says
I would love to see if this would help with my almost 14 year old chow. Ever since I had my third child, his gorgeous coat has been neglected. Help Indy be a hottie again!
Carla Cui says
My dog Lugo needs his badly! He sheds too much 🙂
k. peach says
I don’t have a pet yet, but I’m hoping to finally get a cat next year, so I’m slowly building up the things I will need to keep us both happy.
Jewel Jernstedt says
I work in a veterinary clinic and we swear by these things! I don’t actually own one though, and I’d really love to brush some hair off my fat kitties!
Dee Byers says
Hi there, this product sounds so cool. My puppy of 130 pounds would love to try it out. He is a st. bernard / shepherd cross and let me tell you has ALOT of hair!!
Ren says
My ragdoll would LOVE the cat version of this. I have never known a cat who loved to be brushed as much as him.
joe gersch says
i need this for my doggie
stacy linington says
I have a golden coloured huskie/german shepherd who sheds like crazy. I am desperate for some relief with this shedding…
Karen Ware says
I have a husky-mix, Kaya, that I don’t even want to take in the car with me due to the extreme shedding we’re enduring. The brush I have only seems to take care of the real surface hair. We need help!
Nancy says
I have three dogs and a cat. Talk about fur. Its everywhere. I would love to try this product. I really need something that works.
cheryl b. says
my good boy tate is all hair – everywhere!
dianna murrah says
Our Calahula Leapord Dog sheds more than a long haired dog. When I vacuum once a week, I have to empty the canister on our Dyson 3 sometimes 4 times…We need, need, need this…
Julie Austin says
I have a short hair Jack Russell that HATES being brushed. He sheds like crazy, and I’m hoping he would tolerate this gadget. I need to be able to wear black again!
Grace says
I have heard that this is the most wonderful tool for keeping my puppy fur from overtaking the house.
AnnMarie Poullette says
I have an American Eskimo and I am sure he would love it as much as I would. He is sheds all the time.
Laura says
I would love to win this. My parents have a German Shepard Husky, and she sheds to no end in the spring and fall. They could really use this.
soggysocks says
my husband has a very hairy back, but we also need it for our dog betsy. she sheds constantly.
Coreen says
I have Labrador Retrievers that shed all year long, especially now! Would LOVE to have the help of the FURminator!
Natalia Lares says
wow I need one of those for Sasha, my chocolate lab!!!
Sara Alvaro says
We have a border collie and a chihuahua–both very sheddy– in a New York apartment. Even though I have a great vacuum–the Dyson for pets–the hair still is everywhere. I could really use this.
Marlene V. says
We would love to have one for our kitty — we are tried of the hair in our house —- especially during the summer when she sheds the most. I think my kitty would love it too —- if she could have less hairballs!!!
Cindy S says
I could really use this. Our dog has so much hair it is hard to control.
Jennelle says
We have a small dog that sheds all over us. It would be nice to have a tool like that.
David Holder says
This product would be great for our cat who is shedding all over the place.
gayle b. says
My little guy Winnie (rat terrier/yorkshire terrier/poodle) only weighs about 18lbs but I swear he sheds that amount of hair in a week. He looks exactly like your dog (probably smaller though lol) and with his black hair and my white flooring, you can just imagine the time I spend swiftering. I would absolutely love to win one of these brushes, for winnie and for my family who always seem to be brushing winnie hairs off their clothes. Thanks for holding this great contest!! 🙂
Suzette says
I have two feline friends, Bandit and Jack, and I think they would be as happy as me, if I won a FURminator!
Cathy B says
We have a new puppy who could use a little fur-minating.
Shelley says
I would LOVE to have a FURminater! I own both a long haired dog and cat and am forever trying to brush hair off my clothing because my regular brushes just don’t do the job properly.
Thank you for always giving us the chance to win all of these great prizes.
Beth says
OMGosh-our Wolf NEEDS this thing! He’s blowing his German Shepherd coat right now and it’s everywhere! Even the CAT has great fun batting his clumps of fur around…oy….
But, I promise, if I win, I will buy the cat “fur real” cat toys!
😉
Finance Girl says
Ahh – I need one of these! I have a long-haired German Shepard mix. I almost bought one of these once but didn’t have the money.
Zoey the Labradoodle says
PICK ME! PICK ME!
Labradoodles don’t shed but since mom disagrees, I would love to surprise her with one of these tools you speak of. The cutie in the picture look’s like she enjoyed it so I am thinking I might too. 🙂
Carrie M says
AGH! I need this so bad! I have 2 large dogs that when they shed it looks like a small sog expolded in the yard (or house if they are inside) I have a femal Husky and a Male Malamute. The Mal has hair that is 4+ inches long and if I do not take time to brush him a little each day, he gets all tangles and the fur gets matted. I have yet to fins a comb that will get in there and get all the hair out.
Laci says
I just bumped into your blog and have learned so many things already! I would love to win one of the furminators because our dog, Oliver is a corgie/border collie mix whose frequent races around the house and over all of the furniture leave us with quite a mess of hair! We love him completely, but I’m pretty sure the hair all over my clothes is not making a fashion statement anytime soon.
Melissa says
I have a tiny chihuahua but you’d never know it by the amount of hair all over the place. Pick him up once and you’re covered. I’d love a FURminator to take care of the mess. Thanks!!!
Sue Farrell says
We have 2 dogs and two cats–all could use a good brushing, but our long haired cat needs it very badly–summer is bringing hairballs galore.
Sarah says
My mom has a giant dog with long hair! He’s a beast! The poor thing gets so hot in the summer that he’s usually shaved but this would work really well between the shavings.
R Hicks says
I HAVE SEEN THEM AND NEED A FURMINATOR SO BADLY
Jayne says
two long haired cats & a boyfriend who tries hard to keep the hair under control!
JoAnn Opfer says
Sounds like a great tool.
June says
This would be awesome!! 🙂 I have a puppy that is in great need of this!
Louise Brouillette says
Cool product
sandy says
sweet would love not having hairy balls when dogs are in
Eva D says
OMG My dog Trigger needs this product!! I spend 30 minutes every day brushing him outside lately I have to vacuum and dust everyday because everything has a coating of dog hair on it.
Vicki Wurgler says
We have 2 dogs – both golden labs-I would love to win this, they leave hair all over!
Jodi says
I have been wanting to try this out. I have two medium to large size dogs, and one is a chow mix. Bouncy Bear (the chow mix) sheds sooo badly, and it is so hard to keep up with all her shedding.
Michelle says
I would love this! We have 2 large furry family members that leave a trail of hair everywhere…
Stacia says
Our terrier mix is the shedding king and could sooo use a FURminator! Life with less hair to vacuum/sweep….aahhh. Like the sound of that!
Daniele says
Wow! We have three fur bearing mammals in our house. Sharing their hair seems to be their favorite job. (we humans don’t have enough you know)I’d love to give the FURminator a try.
Anne says
Yesterday I washed Lady, my mostly collie mixed breed dog. I was amazed not only by the amount of fluffy fur undercoat that came off before and during the bath, but the prodigal amounts that continue to float through the air, to the floor, even now. Lady neeeeds a FURminator.
Tara Hill says
OH MY GOSH! I so need this. My friend just bought one and I used it on our dog, Ozzie. Let me tell you, it’s like I brushed five small dogs off of him! Ozzie sheds like there is no tomorrow. I sweep every day…but, after I used the FURminator, I didn’t have to sweep for two days…too bad my friend made me give it back! Here’s to winning!
Naomi says
We have six cats and they are all terrible shedders. Ah-choo!
Donna Coughlin says
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.
April says
I have a German Shepherd that could use this tool. I could knit sweaters out of the hair she sheds daily.
Heather Beckstrom says
I have two dogs that love to shed. A black lab mix that sheds bad during the summer. And then there is my little boy. Amsco, an American Eskmo. He is my buddy but all of my clothing is always covered in long white hair. I love my dog but I hate all the hair in the house.
Michelle says
I am also a big shedder, but I also have 3 dogs and 3 cats. My Shepherd and Beagle always get the winter coat that has to be removed (by me) manually every spring. I also have two long haired cats that can always need help with grooming. (Have you ever seen what a hairball looks like after it has been coughed up? Gross!)
Kathy Conley says
Molly, our family pet who is a long-haired very sheddy , but very sweet and loving, cat could certainly use the furminator! She hates the regular brush I use now and I hate brushing her with it.
Bobbie says
I have a boxer and she sheds a ton. I would love to win this because I can’t find anything that works very good.
mamasara says
My dog, Greta is a rescue mix of Chow and who knows. She has very thick hair that is impossible to brush, and she sheds all over the house. I would really appreciate a Furminator to help keep the hair under control. Grazi!
Vikki C. says
I also have 3 cats, so I could certainly put one of these to good use! I think it will come in handy the most for my Persian.
Stephanie Ray says
That would be helpful keeping our german shepard, long haired st. bernard and long haired cats groomed!
Emily J says
I’ve seen combs similar to the FURmintor before, and they work really well at getting to the undercoat. I just couldn’t ever convince myself to spend the $60 that our local store was charging. I have a Shiba/Husky mix that leaves tumbleweeds of her fur rolling across the floor. I’m sure she’d be more comfortable if I could get her coat thinned out.
Thanks for the contest!
judy brittle says
This would be an answer to my prayers. I so need this for my cat. My daughter moved in with my 2 grandbabies and she has allergies. This would help a lot.
Jodi B says
Love this idea! 3 kitties=lots of hair all over the house! This would be a lifesaver!
dawn says
Could really use this for my Lab, Zeke
Beth Ann says
LOL…I guess I’m close to the 200th person to say so…but I would also love to try this. We have two Queensland Heelers and their wispy fur clumps that breeze across the floor are a constant embarrassment! I am tired of sweeping and would love to try something that could reduce the fur by 90%! It’s hard to believe!
Thanks!
Rita says
I have a lab mix (thick undercoat), border collie mix, and maine coon that all shed endless buckets of hair. I have tried so many products all claiming to help but don’t. No matter how many times I vaccuum and brush each week I still end up with fur covered clothing,furniture and carpet. I would love to try this but after so many failures and finances being tight I have a hard time spending more on something else that may not get the job done. I would love to win one…I am sure my babies would feel better too with the heat! Thanks!
Sharon H says
I have had one of these for about a month and never really believed it was going to work so well – but it sure does! My dog and my cat love it and it has seriously reduced the shedding.
I’m saving up to buy one for each of my adult sons to use on their pets – a VERY sheddy German Shephard and a hairy cat.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Sarah Ellis says
PERFECT! LOL, I love their site and video. We have a almost 12 week old white German Shepherd Dog. Boy oh boy, the shedding has already begun. It was funny cause the hubs & I were wondering when it was going to happen and just 4 days ago, when I sat down to brush him, my black shirt was covered in white fur in seconds. He’s adorable just like your Shadow but when the fur starts flying, I almost can’t stand to be around him. The FURminator would do wonders for Kouma, our house and for our clothing.
Thanks so much for the offer and you can check Kouma out here… http://thepitterpatterboutique.blogspot.com/2008/06/our-new-pup.html
Alicia T says
Sid, Dandruff, Moochie, Bouncer & Ducky could all use a brushing with this.
Thanks for the contest.
Lori Hilts says
We have a Shetland Sheepdog and with all the brushing we do, there are still pet-hair-tumbleweeds that roll across the floor. I’ve tried so many brushes but none seem to get to the undercoat. I would love to give this a try!
lisa (lost pezhead) says
We have a new lab puppy and this would be GREAT!!
Jennifer Still says
Our English Mastiff, Daisy Mae, could certainly use one of these! So could the couch, and chairs, and carpet … 🙂
Catherine copeland says
i’ve actually thought about buying this. Ever time i go to pet smart I ask about them. If gas would just go down a dad i would probably pick one up
Ginny says
We have a furball cat that really could use this. She is always getting knots in her fur & it looks so bad. If it can’t be used on cats, then my grandma was just talking about getting something similar for her dog. I’d love to surprise her with it!
Kerri says
We have 3 dogs and a cat and our dalmatian sheds horribly – it’s short little spiky hairs that stick to fabric like glue – if this works it would be great! I’d love one. Thanks!
Megan B. says
Aw, thats amazing, I could use this on my kitty, he sheds like crazy! I’m always amazed that that much hair can come from such a small little thing.
Marci says
The furminator is one of the best inventions in a very long time. We discovered it about 3 months ago. It is simply amazing how easy it is to remove the shedding hair. We need one for both of our dogs.
hazel hunt says
I SO need this.
Susan Smith says
My dog Pepper could use this as always sheds.
Kathy says
my shepard is miserable in this heat! He would love this!
Angela says
Wow our new pup could definitely use this. She was just adopted from a humane society and was there for a long time after being returned twice. She has major separation anxiety and that is the cause for her poor track record. We are committed to her for her entire life and will work with her. She has some health issues from being in the shelter for so long, including malnutrition (they did the best they could, but cannot afford quality food). Her coat is in bad shape because of this and this grooming tool, combined with better nutrition, will help her look as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.
Angela
Crystal B. says
I have a German Shepherd. I would love this for her. 🙂
Liz says
This may sound silly, but we don’t have a pet. My oldest desparately wants a cat. This just might convince my husband to get a family pet.
SJ says
I have three dogs that could really use this! It would help me out tremendously with all the doghair bunnies I have hopping around my house!
Renee says
This would be great for my cat Baby Girl. I brush her every day and still my cream colored sheet is grey from all her shedding!!
Kimberly Cook says
My Cocker Spaniel is in need of a furmination!
Cheryl Free says
My one-and-a-half year-old miniature schnauzer, Pepper Too, hates to be brushed no matter what and often mats 🙁 I’d love to try the FURminator on her 🙂 *Thanks* for the giveaway!
Kimberly says
We have two little doggies that leave me a dustpan pile EVERY single solitary day. They are bulldog’s so you wouldn’t think it would be an issue, BUT wrong…little stinkers. Anything that would make my life easier! Your review makes me want to get one NOW! LOL!
Teresa Hoyt says
I would love to win this for my moms dog! She is cute and hyper but she is also a shedding machine! Every time we visit, my kids leave looking like teen wolf!
Cindy Flores says
My cat would love to have one. I have tried many different brushes and I was ready to just settle with what I have. I didn’t think that there was a product that actually lived up to its claims.
Mary A says
I have a Newfoundland/Chow mix and if you ever wondered, that equals masses of shed hair. If we go too long without vacuuming I feel almost like I’m mowing the lawn instead of cleaning the carpet. Thanks for the giveaway.
Andrea says
We could really use one of these. Simon, our beloved kitty cat has way too much hair – but if it stayed on him, that wouldn’t be an issue. If he brushes past you you’re done for. Forget the furniture – his favorite chair is covered in grey, black and white hairs…ahhh…if only we had a FURminator…
Gus and Clay's Mama says
Our dog is half husky and half australian shepherd- twice a year she “blows” her coat and it goes all over the house (under the fridge, in the couch, in the corners etc)
diane schurbon says
WE HAVE A WHEATON TERRIER SO THIS WOULD HELP SO MICH
Paula Englert says
My grand-dog is a year old Siberian Husky named Sligo. He is shedding in hunks! So far no comb or brush is able to get out all his shed hair. It sounds like the Furminator is just the brush needed to control the problem. I’d sure love to win one. Everybody in the family would be grateful.
Su Lawson says
Help I have two cats and the FuR never stops.
Thomas Fitts says
Hope I win, before winter.
Kari Follett says
I have a golden retriever and yep, she’s shedding everywhere right now. I’d love to win this!!
Vicky Boackle says
i would love to try this on my lab.
Shannon says
I need this product so bad. We have three cats and have tried everything short of shaving them bald to try and control the shedding. It’s a never ending battle dusting and running the vacuum on a daily basis. This would be such a life saver!
Christine says
We have one very hairy dog who isn’t crazy about getting brushed with the gadget my husband uses. I think he’d like this one. Thank you so much!
Melissa says
I would love to win one of these for my cats! I could knit a blanket with the amount of fur they shed! Thank you.
The Not-so-secret life of Katie Valentine says
Oh goodness. Could we ever use it!
With two kids, two adults (myself in post-pregnancy shed), and two really hairy cats in a small house, I find it really tough to keep up with all of the piles of fuzz.
A furminator would be just what the doctor ordered for the cats – and now, does it work on humans as well?
Ilissa H. says
We just recently bought this item and tried it on our cats. My review: It’s amazing. It is definitely the best brush I’ve ever tried on my cats. I also found that they don’t shed nearly as much the couple of days/weeks after. Since I already have one for myself, I’d really like to win this one for my sister. She has a dog and 3 cats and a very hairy house. She’d love to try this! Thank you so much for the chance!
Trish says
Now that it’s July in humid NJ, my chi chi is shedding heavy even though she’s a short hair. I gave her a bath yesterday and said to her “mommy’s got to get you a brush to get all this fur off of youuuuu”. This would be great for Pebbles.
Michelle Rosborough says
I would love this for my dog
Kasey says
Wow, this is something that we could definitely use around our house. Vacuuming has become a daily process and anything that could help would be much appreciated.
Cecilia says
The Furminator looks like an awesome product. Our dog Jasmine (an aussie/german shepherd mix) is a serious shedder with a double coat. She hairs up the entire house within hours of getting it clean. We do brush her often, but it never seems to be enough.
Melanie says
My dog Dottie needs this! She sheds like crazy- and with a toddler who puts everything in her mouth, I hate the idea of her picking up a cookie off the floor that has dog hair on it and eating. So, please pick me!
Tonya Froemel says
I have a very shaggy long haired puppy named Fozzie who would benefit from this great prize. Enter me too!
olene mccoy says
Yes, i have looked at this tool also and wondered how good it would be, i have two german shepards that really shed, my white german shepard lexy sheds so much, i’m continually trying to keep the hair comb and it just keeps coming. Its everywhere. This would be such a good tool for me and lexy and sarge. olene
Kathy Handy says
My Australian Shepherd, Buffy, has fur that gets matted easily. This product sounds like just the thing for her!
Holly B says
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!
Merrylee Schuman says
Mr Jack Coonhound would ♥ a FURminator!
April Young says
I’ve got a cat and a dog so one of these would really help out.
Stephen Saunders says
I need help, my whole family needs help, we’re all quite pitiful. 🙁
Terri P says
Our pomeranian loves to be brushed and will give you a nice big kiss for this!
christopher h says
love to try it on my dog, shiela. never sure if this sort of thing would actually work
Claudia M says
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 🙂
melody is slurping life says
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.
Michelle T says
Our dog Maggie needs this desperately. Well, I need it more, b/c I sweep and vacuum her hair every day!
Jennifer H. says
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!
Sandy F. says
Libby is in desperate need of one of these!!! she leaves little white hairs everywhere…thanks :O)
ter says
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
David Guss says
My German shepherd Sable sheds more hair than the local beauty salon. I really need this tool!
Shay says
OMG! This is just what I need for Eve she doesn’t like to rid herself of her unwanted fur. This would be perfect!!!!
Perky says
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!).
Sue says
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.
Nora Scott-Platt says
Between my dog and my 2 cats we could really utilize this tool in a big way.
Carrie H. says
This would be great. Our cat Chippy is a real shedder, and our house is a giant dustbunny to prove it. Thanks!
Elaine says
My daughter has the cutest little puppybut the dog looks like a little mop so I’m sure this tool would be a help!
Rita M says
My vacuum cleaner could sure use a break! We have a German Shepherd mix named Bella who excels at shedding… hair, hair — everywhere!!
cathy miller says
My Pharaoh needs this tool, I can brush him several times a day and he still sheds alot Thanks for the chance
Maureen Winner-Armijo says
My Loofus & Chester would love this! They are cats, but they love being combed!
Kelly Ann T. says
I have two Alaskan Malamutes and with that double coat this would be a great tool to have. Thank you so much.
Denise says
I just adopted a Pomeranian mix from the pound and I need this!
kelli says
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.
gail waller says
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
Rachel says
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. 🙂
Morgan M. says
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!

Kelly N. says
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
Lorraine says
I have 3 dogs and REALLY need this.
Carol Harrity says
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.
wana haaland says
wow! i need this. i have a dog and a persion cat. its an unbeliveable amount of fur to clean up.
Tammi Worrell says
Boy, could we use this. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats. There is a lot of shedding in my house.
BlapherMJ says
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!
Elizabeth Ray says
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!)
Jaque says
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. 🙂
misty says
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.
Anne S says
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. 🙂
Gary Emes says
What a great prize and with 2 dogs who love the furniture more then I do these will come in handy. Thanks
Joanna says
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!).
Linda Ellis says
PS I meant when we dog sit for my sister’s dog – my sister doesn’t need brushed!
Linda Ellis says
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.
Hollie P. says
We have 3 dogs, and one of them is a major shedder! We would love to try this out on Trooper! 🙂
Kara says
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.
Jennifer Cook says
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!
Kari A. says
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.
Barbara Baker says
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.
Shirley Younger says
My neighbor has 3 dogs, what a great gift this would make
Suzy says
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.
Andrea says
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.
Deborah Stinson says
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!
Debbie says
We desperately need this!!! My poor vacuum is tired of cleaning up dog hair. lol
Wendy says
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.
karissa says
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!
Michelle Jadaa says
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!
Heather says
We could definitely use one for our cat.
Shani says
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.
Alyssa says
I am sold! We have 2 boxers and a kitty.
valerie phillips says
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
Dolls Clothes Gal says
He looks soooo relaxed – take it easy. Sounds like a winner.
Betsy says
I have a Sheltie (think little Lassie) and he is shedding badly right now! We could use this!!
susan varney says
my dog thak- you furmimator
Michelle says
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.
Dianne Fuzek says
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.
linda says
My little baby doll needs a furminator!! Oh she would love this. Thank you
Beth K. Vogt says
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!
Jane says
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!
Allison says
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!
Mary Beth N says
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! 🙂
heather u says
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!!!!!
Polina says
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:(
Jennifer O. says
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.
Kim says
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!
Debba says
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
onemotherslove says
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!
Richard Hansen says
Hope it works for cats too.
Linda says
My old hairy cat who keeps losing his hair sure could use this.
Margaret Herrin says
I have tried everything without much luck–would love to try this on my JRT.
Kim M says
My cat Panda could defiantly use this!!
Pam says
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.
Randy Nimon says
I own a chow chow need I say more!
Kristie says
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!
randi oaklief says
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!

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.
Kathie says
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.

Tracey says
We sure could use one but I would have to share with my mom. Her cat sheds something horrible! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Tiff says
we have a 200lb english mastiff that sheds a whole new dog every day! This would be great for him.
Carol Ezovski says
Cat hair is a condiment around here! With three long-haired cats and a shedding dog, I could sure use one of these!
Ally says
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!
Mary says
We could definitely use this on the cat. Maybe the dog too, but she has shorter hair. Great giveaway, thanks!
Lea says
I have never heard of this product. I could really use one with a black lab and 4 cats…..
Christian Kay says
I have 2 shih tzus! I can’t afford a furminator but have wanted/needed one badly! Please pick me 🙂
Daneille Kitchel says
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!
Julie Kenyon says
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!
RobynL says
this sounds awesome for our furbaby Sam; I loathe floating dog hair that finds a place on your visitor’s black slacks.

Noreen says
we just got our puppy Chloe yesterday and I am sure we will need this soon
Sheri says
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!
Kimberly says
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.
Michele P says
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!
Heather says
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!!
Cindi says
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
JenO says
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! 🙂
Grenda says
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!
Carol ~ I Throw Like A Girl says
We have a golden retriever named Sadie who I love so much, but she sheds like crazy. A FurMinator would be great for her!
Bree says
I NEED this for my Australian Shepherd! He sheds a ton, as does our cat! Please, please, please!
julianna says
two shelties, a border collie, and two cats (and a baby learning to crawl)– need i say more?!

Candace (Mama Luxe) says
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!
melissa says
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!
Amanda says
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.
Amy Nabors says
i have a cat and a lab that could use this. think i might have to check it out. thanks for the review.
Reiza says
If this works on cats, I want to try it on our 2 long-haired cats.
Katie says
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!
Tonya says
They also work great on horses and we have 4 that would love one!
Monkey Giggles says
I have two hair balls at home. Two Poms that would be forever thankful to get their fur coats off.
Cory Huisman says
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!
Bridget says
My dog doesn’t shed, but, if I win, could I use this one on my very, hairy cat?
Sara says
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.
Bonnie Walker says
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!
erin says
i have a golden retriever…..would so love this brush!!
Veggiemomof2 says
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
Laura says
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!!!

Kim says
I had no idea they made a FURminator for cats! I have to look into this…
Stacy says
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!
michelle bumpercards says
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!
PAM JOHNSON says
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.
PattiS says
I have a 24 pound Maine Coon cat who is a fur-producing maniac – I’d love to try the cat version on him!
jenna says
OH my goodness, I would love to have this… My dog might not love it as much as I would, but regardless.. 🙂
Alison says
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!
Kari says
We have an American Eskimo puppy that would definitely benefit from the FURMINATOR!
cheri says
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!
Jackie W says
ohhhhh I have a cat that so needs this.
Rachel Matthews says
I HAVE A LAB/HUSKY MIX. WE NEED THIS!
The Gang's All Here! says
I’d love to win one for my diva kitty Maggie – she’s old and very much the queen of the household.
Bailey's Leaf says
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!
Jen says
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.
Jean says
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!
rebekah says
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!
Nicole (SAHM Ramblings) says
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.
sam says
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!!
Blessed says
We could really leave this – We have a 100# black lab who is our little ones best friend and his favorite pastime is shedding…
Heather G says
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.
ktjrdn says
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?
Lisa says
I SO need this. My dog looks almost identical to yours (mine has a white chest) and she practically leaves a trail.
Sara says
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!
Melanie says
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!
Maggie says
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!
