FURminator Undercoat Deshedding Tool for Dogs, Deshedding Brush for Dogs, Removes Loose Hair and Combats Dog Shedding Large

Fantastic Results, Really Helps Control Short Hair Shedding- Help with Size Choices. We adopted a rescue puppy this summer who has grown a very short but wiry coat that sheds pretty bad- I find hair on our clothes, couch throws, her bedding, the floor, you name it. I read about this product in search for some sort of solution- I know that nothing will totally rid the house of shedding dog hair but I was hoping to at least find something to cut it wayyy back. The Furminator does exactly that- I bought the the mid-size (orange) one for short hair dogs on black Friday and have used it almost every morning since. WOW- what a huge improvement I’ve noticed EVERYWHERE. Less hair on our clothes, the floor, etc. We crate her every night and in the morning as I take her out I grab her Furminator and a regular brush. After she potties and we walk a bit I carefully run this over as much of her hair as I can, concentrating on the thickest parts on her lower back and behind her head (it’s just bushier in those areas). You can’t press down super hard or it will hurt and most likely cut the skin, but you want to use a steady hand and enough pressure (medium pressure?) to grab hair. Even though her hair is short, it definitely grabs the loose hair that would be falling out inside my house! Sometimes a lot comes off of her, sometimes not as much- but it always grabs something. After I finish Furminating her, I use the regular brush on her all over to remove even more and smooth her all out. At first our pup really hated it, and hated being brushed, but she’s grown more calm and patient and will mostly sit still until she’s just had enough and lets me know. You definitely want to use this outside- YIKES the hair you remove will be in your house if you don’t. I can see it blowing into the air when I’m outside using it. For those of you tempted to buy the largest size (blue) even though your dog isn’t super big, I struggled with that myself. Our dog is 23 pounds and not very big- but she’s super muscular and SOLID. I considered getting the bigger one thinking it would save time and I’d have to make fewer passes with it on her body- BUT I just don’t think that would have been the case. I really DO use the orange one to get into some smaller places on her (legs, throat) that would be much more diffiult if I’d purchased the largest size. And the orange one feels good in my hand- it’s a solid tool with a little weight but very easy to use once you find the right pressure to apply (and once your dog decides to settle down and let you do the job). I’m glad I went with the Furminator- I saw the less expensive ones on Amazon and just thought that if there was something to put a little money into it would be this tool that is going to save me time and aggravation minimizing the dog hair on our clothes and all over our house. I think I paid $22 and it was totally worth it. OH! And the button on mine definitely DOES RELEASE the dog hair that it combs off, but sometimes I DO shake the tool and even blow on it occasionally but *poof* the hair blows away in the wind. Great product, highly recommend!

Absolutely the best for an undercoat. I have a Chow mixed with herding dog (I think) and he has a thick, fluffy that leaves dog hair tumbleweeds in my house. This Furminator Deshedding tool is easy to hold, wide enough to help the job get done quicker and gentle enough that even my impatient senior citizen dog stands still and enjoys getting groomed. Mostly. One thing that doesn’t work so well is the hair release button. I’m not sure if it’s because my dog’s undercoat is so soft or fine but it doesn’t release the hair. Using the button makes it easier to pull it off but I’m guessing it’s supposed to fall off rather than me shake it or tug it off. If you have a fluffy dog you need one of these.I have a much smaller Furminator, too. I don’t think I got it from Amazon (sorry Amazon) but it works great on the very short hair of my lab mix. Labs don’t look like they would shed a lot but they shed a crazy amount and the little Furminator helps cut down the amount of hair in my house. An added bonus is that it’s gentle so he likes getting groomed.

Exactly what I needed. I have 2 large dogs and both shed alot. Getting to the undercoat is difficult. And it is not unusal to see small balls of hair rolling outside (Western tumbleweed style). This deshedding tool is very easy to use. The instructions are clear, and I followed them to the ‘T’ and got a good result.Skittish dog: she never ran or yelped once. So a definite A+Grandmaster Shedder dog: enjoyed it a lot. He only turned once at the clicking sound (to remove the fur).The device is weighty, which I did not expect but makes me feel like I bought a sturdy product. All areas functioned as described. The click to lock the Edge Guard in place took a little while to get it right – but no problems now. Instructions were clear: Inspect, brush, shed (angle, start point, direction), remove collected hair.The dogs look great, the undercoat is removed, hair isn’t flying all over and dogs were not harmed.Highly recommended.

This…Thing…Works. I have a short haired Vizsla and after using this his coat is super clean, shedding cut down by a ton, and it just works and cleans up really easily. So much better than paying a groomer to do this “treatment” when all you have to do is spend 10-15 minutes with your dog. Great product!

Works good. This works good but gets caught between the teeth and the part that is supposed to release the hair. My dogs hair is on the thinner side. Also the hair release will not lock in place to protect the teeth like it says. I hope that it doesn’t shorten the life of the brush.
