The FURminator

Calling all pet owners - how much do you love your FURminator?

I bought one (new of course) for our new Pom from Amazon for like $15 - I see they normally retail for like $50.

Re: The FURminator

  • My brother bought one for his two German Shepherds..... he swears by it.  It's amazing for dogs with long fur or dogs that have a thick undercoat.  Brody doesn't have long fur OR a thick undercoat, so I just use a regular dog brush.

  • We have the cat one and we adore it. Worth every cent!
  • The furminator is amaaazing! I love it :) Our dog is quite the furball.

  • It's amazing!!! It would be even more amazing if our cats let us use it on them!!! They hate being brushed.

  • Great - this seems to be the consensus among pet owners that reviewed it...Pomeranians have the top coat & undercoat and ours had to be shaved when she got to her foster home due to excessive matting. We obviously plan to keep her well groomed so she can avoid that again down the line so I'm happy I ordered this!

    Yeah! I paid through the nose for mine at Petco, but they have them cheap on Amazon. 

  • Hefner is the only long-haired cat I have.  If you enjoy having skin on your hands, don't bring a brush anywhere near him!!!  He doesn't have front claws, but he has a wicked bite!!  The other cats, you can just leave a pet brush on the floor and they groom themselves with it!!!

  • What is a furminator?  I feel like I'm missing out since I have no clue.

  • I had to google this because I'd never heard of it. Looks like it would work pretty good though. Our dog is only supposed to shed twice a year and he's just now starting to but it hasn't gotten bad yet. I just use a regular dog brush on him for now.

  • the furminator is a super-awesome brush that you use on dogs and cats (it's basically a de-shedding brush that gets all of the undercoat brushed out).  When you get done, it's unbelievable how much hair you pull out of the brush.

  • I love love LOVE my furminator!! I bought it about 2 years ago at PetsMart and paid the full $50 for it. Oh well, we love it. Mav sheds so much during the summer its insane. He actually loves it when I say "wanna get brushed?!?!"

     I would assume the cat one is cheaper since its smaller but either way, they are definitely worth it.

  • I'm thinking I need to check this out.  My little furballs shed a lot and I always get several brushes full of hair when I brush the one.

  • I have something similar to it, and it works pretty well.  My friend at work actually swears by it (she has a Newfie) and I keep thinking about getting one, but don't want to spend the $60 on it for the extra large one.  Thanks for posting this! :)  I'd love to get one for $15!!!

    My HH loves Amazon, I emailed him and said the nest ladies said there is one for cats, FIND IT!

  • Its funny that this was posted.  I LURVE our furminator! It's AMAZING! 

    But this is why it's funny.  I gave the pups a bath yesterday and Petunia (Jack Russell) doesn't really have to be brushed.  But Petey (lab/terrier mix) has a SUPER thick undercoat and after a bath he sheds like there's no tomorrow.  So DH went to get the furminator out of the drawer and we can't find it! =(  And I did pay full price for it... womp womp woooomp. 

    So I'm sure it's in the house somewhere but if we can't find it I will be going to Amazon or ebay to find one for less!

  • we got ours on Amazon too.... we can't imagine not having it. It's FABULOUS
  • I just ordered the cat version on Amazon for $8.50.  We keep threatening to shave one of our cats, so I can't wait to try it out.

  • Daisy is shaved right now (our Pom) but once her fur grows back in...she's going to need to be brushed very regularly - she had to be shaved due to excessive matting when her foster family rescued her from the shelter she was living in.

    Yeah, Amazon is great! There was no way in hell I was going to pay $50 for a brush if I could find it for cheaper!
