FURminator Large Yellow deShedding Tool with 4-Inch Edge

I recently got the Furminator and I do have to say, I am amazed at the amount of hair I can scrape off my Lab mix after a couple of minutes, plus it leaves his coat super shiny as an extra perk. My dog doesn't seem to enjoy it at all though. I'm assuming it probably feels odd, as it tugs on his not-yet-detached hairs.

The handle grip is sturdy and way improved compared to the last version of this product, and the switch to up-down movement, versus left to right scraping, is much more natural.

The lasting issue I have is how often to use it? Once or twice weekly doesn't seem to be enough to make a difference on my floor, so consider that this may need to become a part of your daily routine to get some true value out of it.

This product will really strip the remaining undercoat from the double coated breeds...meaning less hair for your floor and a new growing season for your dogs coat....just use it outside!

I did not get the dramatic results as evidenced in all the videos shown when I purchased the product, but then my dog is a short haired pointer. I was getting handfuls of hair with my old brush and she was still shedding like crazy. I tried using it after getting the furminator and that has decreased so the furminator may have some effect although she is still shedding. It is probably just something to do with her breed or maybe her thyroid is low. I will continue to use the furminator and suggest that others try it.

I was a bit intimidated by the price and metal teeth. The price on Amazon was 25% below store prices so I tried it. Works great on my medium haired irish setter, especially before a bath. The dog loves it too!

The Furminator is an awesome tool! Since I've begun using it, I sweep or pick up much less fur from my floor. My dog's coat looks much nicer too. Well worth the purchase price. I would highly recommend an initial combing with a large tooth or other comb to ensure your dog's hair is free from tangles so you don't hurt your dog when you use the Furminator. Either use this outside or in an area you can easily sweep or vacumn as you'll get an incredible amount of hair off your dog.
