Product Review- FURminator
If like me, you wage a constant war against dog hair, look no further.

You NEED a FURminator.
If you don't own one, get one.
I bought one for my self for the holidays and it was my favorite present of the year. While it didn't realize the claim that you only need to FURminator your dog every 6 weeks, I have never gotten so much fur from a dog in my life and there is certainly much less fur in my house. I kept meaning to get my camera to take photos of the all the fur that came off the dogs, but I find FURminating a bit addicting and never could seem to stop myself to run and get a camera. Then I figured, if you all wanted to see it action, all you have to do is watch the movie.
All the dogs don't mind it, even Charlee who doesn't care for grooming. The dogs that love to be groomed, absolutely love it. It must feel great for them to get rid of that dead itchy fur.
If you are looking for a dog gift for your doggie friends-look no further. I have bought two in the last two months. Said one happy friend "my porch looked like I skinned an animal". And from my sister "I had just brushed Belmont, and really couldn't believe how much fur that thing got!"
As a comparison, I also picked up the 10 dollar
Shed Ender at Walgreens, and while it did work somewhat, I would say, "doesn't even come close to the FURminator".
Prior to being a FURminator convert, my favorite shedding tool was a circular cat shedding blade that I bought at a yard sale for 10 cents.
One of the reasons I liked the cat shedding blade over the larger dog/horse type was that I had more control on how much pressure I put on my dog's sensitive areas.

Does anyone have a problem with the Furminator seeming to be cutting hair?? The reason I ask is because after I use it and our pup (yellow lab, 86 pounds!) lays on the couch, short hairs are left behind; didn't happen before the Furminator. Just wondering if that's normal or am I possibly using it wrong??
Thanks!

I have heard that it does cut hair from others, but haven't noticed it with my dogs. I think it strips and thins at the same time.
