The FURminator

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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

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!

    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.

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!)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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. 🙂

    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!).

    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.

    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.

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 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.

    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 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!

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

    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!

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

    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 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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!!

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

    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.

    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?

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

    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 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!

    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!
