The FURminator is so easy to use and does the best job. I've tried several different brushes and combs for our dogs and cats and nothing works as well as the FURminator. The FURminator doesn't hurt your animal either like other brushes and combs do. I've found since using the FURminator our house is staying cleaner longer now with less hair on the floor and in the air. I highly recommend this product for both dogs and cats!

I have a dog who sheds a lot, and has medium-length fur. I don't have to use this product much, maybe every week to two weeks.
From the first time I used it, I noticed a drastic improvement in my carpet appearance. Still hair floating around, but not like before. This product removes clumps and clumps of fur. My dog hates to be brushed in general and does not enjoy being brushed by the furminator either, but when we are done with the furminator, he shakes and you can tell his fur feels better for him.
Also, I use the furminator de-shedding shampoo in combination with this product and it helps with the shedding as well.

This tool is the best. I've never brushed so much hair from our pets. Works amazingly well. Definitely notice less hair around the house.

I have 3 dogs and lots of hair. The Furminator helped tremendously with shedding. Great product!

I, like everyone else, heard great stories about this amazing de-shedding tool, so I bought one and have tried it a dozen or so times on my American Eskimo dog. She looks like a giant snowball, an oversized Pomeranian or a miniature Samoyed for those of you who have never seen one - and as you can imagine, she has LOTS of hair and sheds tumbleweeds year round.
When I got this brush out of the package, the first thing I did it run it down my own arm to make sure it isn't painful like those pin brushes (which I bet you will stop using once you try them on yourself). It it actually fairly uncomfortable when you test it on yourself, because the blades are very sharp, so even though they are aligned in such a way as to provide a largely flat grooming surface, they still scrape and scratch quite a bit. That being said, dogs have thicker, tougher skin than people (well, most dogs) and can handle a bit more roughness. So I tried it out on my Eskimo.
I fully admit that it did work as advertised, for which I'll give it credit. The undercoat comes out little by little, in tiny poofs of wispy hair. If you groom for 15 minutes, you're completely covered in wispy hair that is soft and impossible to gather up and throw away. After 5 minutes she was noticeably uncomfortable,after 10 minutes she was shewing on me and acting fussy, after 15 minutes she started making little whining noises, and after 20 minutes she was practically biting my arm in annoyance. She never likes grooming much, but she really did not care for this tool. It rips the undercoat out in small bits. I wouldn't care for it either if it were me. I did get a lot of hair out of my dog, but she wouldn't come to me for half a day afterward because she appeared to feel mistreated by the grooming session.
Each successive session was about the same. I knew I wasn't really hurting her, but rather causing her quite a bit of discomfort, so I made sessions 10 minutes or less after that to minimize the soreness that apparently develops from the tearing out of the fur.
