Product Review: FURminator

You've probably seen it in numerous places but do you truly know what the FURminator is?


For our house, it is one of the best products ever invented. Sure, there are loads of dog brushes out there but none of them even come close to the FURminator! This brush reduces shedding up to 90 percent by removing the loose, dead undercoat without damaging the topcoat. We have put it to the test by first brushing our Labrador Retrievers with the "Shedding Blade" and then going over them with the FURminator. What happened? Well, we ended up with two large bags of dog hair! That was after we had already brushed them!

Needless to say, the FURminator has a permanent place in our house. There is one thing we should mention though - do not use it all the time as it can strip the top coat of hair and make it dull and thin. We use ours about every 2 weeks during the shedding season and alternate with the Shedding Blade. During the colder months, we use it about once every month or two (depending on their shedding).

We give the FURminator 8 Paws Up!
