Once I got my own FURminator Large Yellow deShedding Tool with 4-Inch Edge
and threw my other brushes away, my cats especially the Maine Coone beg to be brushed. So do not take my word for it, read some of the other reviews from satisfied customers!

WELL worth the cost!, October 21, 2006
By A. McCallum

I live in Minnesota and have a twelve-year old German Shepherd who lives indoors year-round. Her undercoat EXPLODES in the spring and fall when the weather changes so drastically, and there is simply no way to keep up with all of the brushing and vacuuming that is needed during the shedding seasons. Until... along came the FURminator!

Believe me that I had tried everything on this dog for eleven years - shedding blades, slicker brushes, rubber brushes, metal combs, pin brushes, bristle brushes, the rubber Zoom Groom, rubber curry combs, shed-reducing diet-supplements, shampoos, conditioners and sprays... every product on the store shelves, and every new product that came out on the market I thought could help with the endless shedding. But alas, every brush and comb and glob of goop was as worthless as the last in the fight against the fur.

So when FURminator came out, I thought, why the heck is this brush so expensive? Could it really be worth the money? I saw that advertising image they use of the dog sitting with his fur in a giant half-circle on the floor all around him, and his coat looking flat and smooth. I wanted my dog to look like that! I imagined all of those piles of fur being slowly embedded in the carpet throughout the house over the course of the shedding seasons, and the constant battle to vacuum it all up. I was tired of that, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I've had the FURminator for about a year now, as I wanted to really test it out and make sure it continued to be as impressive as when I first got it, and it has. Every time I take it from its peg on the wall, my dog knows that it's time to get all that itchy, yucky, uncomfortable fur out of her coat for good, so she stands as quiet as a princess as I pull out heaps of hair (outdoors, of course.) The tufts of hair are so light and fluffy, that I also get the added joy of watching birds come pick up the puffs to build their nests in the spring. It has cut grooming down to about a quarter of the time I used to spend, with better results than I ever got before, when I armed myself with my box of brushes and sprays. This is the only brush I will ever use on any undercoated dog.

The FURminator is more than a brush - it is truly a grooming tool. You will not be disappointed.

give your babies a gift that keeps on giving!, May 30, 2005

at last -- a solution for pet hair that works! i have two domestic short hair tabbies who produce copious amounts of hair. they suffer from hairballs and are constantly throwing them up. i saw this tool on home shopping tv and instantly bought it. it is fantastic and gets both the top hair and the undergrowth off. my catties love it! they love to be groomed now as it does not hurt them the way other brushes do. i was amazed at how much hair came off them. plus it is very gratifying to do this for your pet. their coats come out beautiful and soft. you can really see the difference on them. well built and durable. WORTH EVERY PENNY. i saw it on hsn tv and bought it from hsn for about $30 which included shipping. got here very fast. works on dogs too.
