Advantages: Great on short haired dogs

Disadvantages: The price

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 including postage (it was brand new in the packet So there are bargins to be had)
I've now tried it on all of them & i've found, to my surprise, that it works better on the short haired dogs than on the long haired.
On the german shepherd it does the same as a rake in my opinion.
It gets the under coat out well & does a good job but as its only a one strip comb rather than a paddle like the rake it does take a while to get the same amount of hair out.
With the short haired dogs its brilliant.Gets out loads of the under coat & leaves there coat with a nice shine.
All in all a good product but very expensive.

Summary: If you have a short haired dog it's a must have.For the long haired get a rake.
