I “rescued” a HUGE lab mix (notorious for massive shedding issues) when my friend lost his house in a short sale. I agreed to hold the dog for 30 days. A year later and my friend still didn’t have a place for him, and I didn’t really have room for him in my house or my life. I tried to integrate him into another family, and did so at a VERY slow and gentle pace. But on his first over-nighter he wigged out, and tried to let himself out (behavior he never exhibited before) to make his way back to me.

I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I have to keep the dog, but I just couldn’t get past the fur – EVERYWHERE – including my eyes, nose, mouth, and food. When relaying this to a friend, she told me they’d tried several undercoat brushes/rakes over the years, and then got this as a gift. They said they used their best, similar product first, and then brushed again with The Furminator. She said she was floored by the results. I immediately got online and found an INCREDIBLE deal on Amazon (not available at the time of this writing).

Time is my most precious commodity, and I don’t have ANY to spare. I’ve had the product about 2-3 weeks. In the first week I brushed him for 10-15 minutes each day. I was floored, too. Now I brush him 5-10 minutes about 3x a week, and I’m still pulling out handfuls of dead, trapped undercoat, but less and less as time goes by. I know I’ll never be fur-free, but I’d brush him for 20 minutes twice a day to get these results! The dog looks like he lost 5 pounds, and I keep having to make his collar a little tighter (that’s where he’s really thick and has way too much skin). He hates the heat, we’re in Florida, and since using The Furminator, he tolerates the heat better, for a bit longer.

As for the negative reviews I’ve read? I’d have to guess that people are applying too much pressure. It is kind of hard to fight the urge when you see how quickly the fur accumulates on it (consider the ejector model?), and how you can keep brushing t
