Sweet Jesus
By Max on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2015
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!

I wanted to love the FURminator
By Jesse Reviews Stuff on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2015
MAN, we really wanted to love the FURminator. I mean, those infommercials... and our dog (Molly), she has basically coated my home in her hair. Our apartment feels like we're living on top of my dogs body.. this is what I imagine a tick or lice feel like. I bought this as a Christmas present from Molly to Ceci. For reference, Molly has relatively short hair, most of which are probably .5-2 inches thick. This tool is for up to 1.5 inch hair, so I figured it'd be about right (and I think the long hair one would be totally wrong). We have the Shed N' Blade and have used that for a while. It does a pretty nice job but the hair doesn't really ADHERE to it, so sometimes we wind up with a mess of loose hairs that have to go and brush off. Not the biggest deal in the world. This thing really does a great job of almost glueing the hair to the tool for you to dump off, but only captures so much at once. On top of that - and I'm not sure if this is because it's the short hair tool or not - but it seems to have trouble really getting the longer hairs.. most of the hairs it catches are under an inch in general. It takes LONGER to use this tool than the Shed N' Blade, though it may be more efficient in HOW MUCH it removes... hard to say. However, my biggest beef is that Molly seems to HATE this. We never had an issue with the blade, but she will literally run away from this thing. We try to do it very gently and we don't think it's scratching her, but maybe just something about the way it feels really bugs her. Anyway, all in all it does seem to get the job done with some diligence, but we thought this was going to change our lives (haha, seriously..) and really all it did was make me continuously unsure about whether or not I should use this or the blade I have. Mo' hair, mo' problems. -Jesse
