Product Review: FURminator

We recently added a 4 month old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix to our family, that was very fluffy. Grendel had a very thick undercoat and looked like an over sized powder puff, his breeder suggested we buy a FURminator. He said it would cut his shedding down by 90% AND he was right!

We ordered one on-line from amazon.com after I spent a couple of hours reading many reviews and viewing a few YouTube demonstrations. I was honestly amazed at all the fur it removed and the huge difference in his coat.

Grendel isn't as hot and no longer pants when he's outside playing. The FURminator was definitely worth the cost and there can be a huge difference in cost depending where you purchase it from. We paid roughly $35 for the "long hair" deshedding tool.

There are FURminators for different coats to include short haired. I had no idea how bad a Great Dane could shed considering it's short coat and we also ordered a short coat one as well for ours.

There are also FURminators for cats and my neighbor tried our "long hair" deshedder on her long haired cat and was totally amazed.

The FURminator has made a huge difference on our puppy and I no longer have to sweep and vacuum twice a day.

I can't say enough about it and am looking forward to the short haired version being delivered.
