I got my Australian Shepherd mix in November and around the end of January, she began to shed like crazy. We have hardwood floors and I would find piles of fur collecting in corners and pooled around chair legs. I started brushing her with a wire slicker brush every day (which she hated), but despite how much hair would come off in the brush, it didn't seem to help the shedding at all.

So I scoured the internet and found this magical tool. The reviews were almost all amazing and I had seen the astounding photos of the piles of hair that supposedly came off, so I decided to give it a shot. In stores, the medium brush can cost $45 or more, but I got a great deal on Amazon.

THE BRUSH
In 3 days, I had the brush. It's basically a fine toothed metal comb on an ergonomic handle. It DOES NOT cut the hair. It combs out the loose hair. I thought the medium size was perfect for my dog and I think it would work for most any dog - unless you have a Chihuahua or a Great Pyrenees.

THE RESULTS
Once I had the brush, I got to work. My husband was skeptical, but after only a few strokes, we were both smiling and staring in wide-eyed amazement. The reviews were right! The photos were real! This brush removed enough hair to make up 2 small dogs in that one night! It was unbelievable. Over the next week, I noticed a dramatic reduction in shedding. No more piles of hair in the corners of my living room.

THE DOWNSIDE?
There are a few things that everyone should know about this brush:

TIME
I will say that for my dog, it takes a good long time to brush the hair out completely. I do it in short sessions (20-30 min) over 2-3 days now every 2 weeks or so to keep the shedding under control.

DOG'S PREFERENCES
My dog didn't like the brush any more than the other one - at first, though she is fine with it now. Some dogs who don't like being brushed may not like this either.

WARRANTY
After the first 10 minutes or so, I noticed 2 teeth missing on the comb. By the end of the session, 3 more were missing. This is barely noticeable and does not affect the comb's effectiveness. I looked at the warranty and broken teeth are not covered. I have not had any more teeth disappear and I have used the Furminator many times since then.

INSTRUCTIONS
This is not a downside, but everyone should read the directions. Your dog needs to be dry when you use the Furminator. Also, your dog shouldn't have any tangles - if she does, brush them out with a brush and then use the Furminator.

This is really an amazing brush. I highly recommend it.

A friend reccomended this product to us. We have a pug who is CONSTANTLY shedding and it drives me crazy. Using the Furminator a couple times a week has reduced the amount of hair I sweep up by a factor of ten! It literally saved my dogs life and my sanity. Plus, she loves the extra attention!

excellent deal, was brand new in package, much cheaper than the vet. It works very well on my dogs. Came in mail faster than they said it would.

I just got my Furminator, and I love it! It grabs the hair off my dog so well and truly helps with the shedding!

"Comparatively" well priced, These things are way overpriced but this is the cheapest I found and it does what it is supposed to do

The price was very competitively priced. Delivery was a little longer than hoped but sufficient.

I got my product very quickly, and it was exactly as I expected it would be. Works great. I couldn't be happier!I also asked my vet about using this product on my beagle who has terrible allergies and she loves it, she has two dogs of her own and uses the Furminator on her own dogs.

I bought the Furminator after a lady at the dog park recommended it to me. I had been using a regular brush but was getting no where. Even after brushing twice a week, I would still find hair clumps rolling down the hallway. Once I recieved the Furminator I immediately used it. Instantly tons of hair was coming off my dog. After 15 minutes of brushing I had a pile of hair as big as my little corgi. I now use it every week with very minimal shedding in between brushing.

I was iffy about this product, but it really did the trip for even my small dog. She was shedding excessively and has now cut that to almost none at all. Really impressed.

I have a short hair dog and I really like this. I only brush once a month because he coat is short. The spray smells good too! OH and it's 1/2 the price of the Pet stores!
