FURminator Short Hair deShedding Tool for Medium Dogs

Oh my God! I ordered this a few days ago and it was at my house when I got off work, I couldn't wait to use it. I've only used it on about half of my dog, a 50 pound Siberian husky, and Jesus Christ! I just brushed her last night with a rake brush, that doesn't even compare to this! It's worth every penny. I really like the button to eject the fur too, it saves me a couple seconds of pulling the fur out of the teeth after every brush stroke. I love this thing. I don't know how I lived without it. Strongly recommend for double coated dogs! You need this, stop reading reviews and just buy it.10/2014 UPDATE:Still love this product. I'm actually ordering the short hair version for my Husky mix who has much shorter hair than my Siberian.I'm really annoyed with all the reviews saying this "cuts hair". IT DOES NOT I think people just don't understand how much of their dog's undercoat is ready to come out especially if they haven't been using great tools or during season changes. Like I said originally, I had brushed my Siberian with a rake brush (suppose to be great for removing undercoat) and still got a ton off. If you look at the fur taken off your dog you can see there are no guard hairs in the mixture, except maybe a few which would have fallen out just as human hair falls out. It's completely obvious the fur isn't being "cut".People who said it cut their dog are obviously using it incorrectly. I raked this across my own skin (pretty hard) a few times to make sure it wasn't sharp and it most certaintly isn't. You don't need to dig deep with this thing, it does the work for you.Another review said it thinned out their dog's coat "too much". Again, it's truly shocking how much fluff can come out with the right tools. You've probably grown accustomed to what your dog looks like with all that extra fluff stuck under his guard hairs. This is a brush, not a blade, it only takes out the loose hairs.I use this 1-3 times a week now and my Siberian is practically shed free and doesn't mind the brushing at all. We actually went to the vet today and she complimented me on how she didn't have excessive shedding unlike most Huskies. And any Husky owner knows these guys can SHED. Which is actually what brought me here again to buy the short hair version for my Husky mix in hopes it will work better, like the long hair does for my Siberian. I was hoping to find reviews comparing the long and short but saw all these negative ones I felt I needed to correct them.AGAIN you need this in your life, if you have any sign of intelligence and use this tool correctly (not hard to do) it is an AMAZING brush. Buy it NOW.10/2019 UPDATE:Still love this, can't say enough good things about it. This is one of the only tools (zoom groom is the other) that my dogs don't hate being brushed with. Still firmly believe many people use this incorrectly and that's where problems come from. You don't need to push hard or dig this in to your dog's coat, it does the work for you. My dogs' coats have never looked better. I actually got a THIRD dog since my last update (Australian cattle dog) and I'm always asked how I manage the dog hair. 80% this thing! If you can commit to 5 minutes of brushing to each dog 1-2 times a week, it almost eliminates shedding. My third dog LOVES this thing and will try to sneak in front of my when I'm brushing my other dogs. He jumps on me and follows me around when he sees I have it because he's excited to get his brushing! Then he does the "that feels sooo good" kicks when I brush his back.I've had these brushes for 6 years now (one long hair, one short hair) both are still going strong and it great shape. Great product!

First of all I want to address the single star reviews making a claim these are counterfeit. Back in 2016 when my home burned down I was displaced at a hotel for several months where I lived that commonly held corporate meetings and conventions. While visiting I met a gal named Angie Porter who saw me with my service dog an 80lb white Siberian husky. She fell in love with my dog and immediately introduced herself and kindly asked to let him knowing he was a service dog. During this time and her stay my family had gotten to know her and learned about a product they invented. A new dog brush. An amazing dog brush that actually works, it doesn’t clog like every other brush and it seriously removes hair at an alarming rate. This brush was known as the Furninator a name she announced when she gave me a medium sized brush free of charge knowing my families situation (we had nothing at the time it burned in the fire) and showed me how to use the brush properly. Oh yes there is a proper way to use these brushes so you avoid injury if your dog and remove hair the proper way. Obviously you don’t want to go against the lure of hair but there is still a technique to be used. I suggest a google search or some practice time before you leave a bad mark. Over the past few years I lost that brush and needed a replacement. Upon looking up Angie her husband and self sold the company so they no longer manufacturer these brushes. I had wished all the time I had the large brush my dog is big. Anyways knowing this is a new company that now owns furminator I decided to order the large here from Amazon and I have to say..., it is the same great brush and works fantastic. After brushing my hisky today we were able to fill a 5 gallon bucket full of dog hair.., that’s how much hair had built up in the past year while using competitor brushes. They just don’t work well. He loves it.., he was rolling over, switching around, kissing me, and loving every minute of his brushing session. It took a mere 10 minutes to brush him while I had an assistant with a vacuum sucking up the loose piles to prevent them from floating around the house. This was and is a great invention in the pet industry and deserves all 5 stars. There isn’t a better product on the market so to not give it 5 stars is foolishness. The use of an assurance and a vacuum for a long haired pet is suggested and I also suggest getting the largest brush your comfortable with and perhaps the two largest sizes you would use. The larger you get the reduction in brush time. The size of your pet can dictate this size so you could go large and a medium or small, etc..., for those tighter places, by the ears, under the arms, around the buttons. And so on. I hope you enjoyed my brief history and found this review useful. If so would you please mark it helpful so other me can also see it take priority in the review header. It is important that as a user of the furninator that you care for it, store it properly, and use it properly and you and your loved one will get years of enjoyment until they dig a hole in the yard and bury it. :-)
