The Company of Animals Furminator

I have a 3 year old Golden Retriever plus 3 cats. My husband is allergic to animal hair (smart, I know) and we also have wooden floors. I must sweep up 4 or 5 times a day when I'm at home and even then it needs a good hoover once or twice a week to get all the hair that floats behind the sofa etc! It was driving me mad quite honestly, especially in summer when my dog loses her winter coat and you could literally knit a new dog from the amount of hair I sweep! I read about the FurMinator on pet website and initially the price put me off. These things were £30+ and I just couldn't justify spending that on a brush. However I managed to get a cheap one on ...  Read the complete review

I have just recently discovered the Furminator - so have my two 'pooches, one of which has a self-cleaning coat - A bit like sharks teeth, shed on a daily basis. I thought it was just one of those things I had to adapt my routine around. At least he didn't need bathing, unless he rolled in something smelly. I first heard of it here on dooyoo, then saw, first hand, this grooming tool called a FURMINATOR - a clever play on the words Fur eliminator. - in my local pet shop. It appeard to be a strong sturdy implement, so even though I had heard a little about already, I asked how it could possibly be better than a comb or any of the usual dog grooming ...  Read the complete review

~~*~~*~~ Furminator ~~*~~*~~ Labradors are hairy: they love to share their fur with all and sundry but personally, I'm not keen on finding bits of Pig's coat in my dinner. Tempted though I was to use Immac and be done with it, I used to ritually brush her but generally all I was doing was taking the top-coat off before eventually reaching the loose undercoat (which is the bit that appeared in my mothers earl-grey much to her disgust) and this took an inordinate amount of effort - Pig is not a calm dog and gets somewhat overexcited when the brush comes out but that's because she's a twit. Luckily, someone invented The Furminator and my life has become a ...  Read the complete review

I have 3 hairy mutts.A rotty cross doberman,a German Shepherd & a staffy cross something yet to be discovered and as much as I love them i don't love all the hair over the floor. I've got your normal sort of brush & a rake type thing which i use on the all but there still seems to be more hair on my floor than on the dogs & after coming across the furminator in the local pet shop i thought i'd give it a go. They come in different sizes depending on the size of the animal & as my doberweiller is the size of a small horse we went for the large. They are about £35 - £40 in the shops so it pays to shop around. I got mine on ebay for £15 ...  Read the complete review

I am constantly on the look out for products to help with the dog hair that my jack russel/collie cross sheds. My mum who has a labrador was advised to try out the furminator by our local vet so i thought i'd give it a go. My dog's hair is very course so sheds in clumps as opposed to the labrador who's hair seems to be like dust! Although it looks like a painful tool both dogs love getting brushed using the furminator. Not only does it take off any loose hair but also all of the hair that gathers under the coat and gathers in certain places before shedding when she scratches or shakes. I can easily fill a carrier bag full of hair at least once a week and what a ...  Read the complete review
