Review: The FURminator®
Brushing your pet is important, not only to make them look nice, but to reduce shedding. When I first got my dog, (K9, a Jack Russell Terrier) I purchased a multi-surface brush at the local pet store. It worked fine, keeping his hair sleek and shiny. But especially during his first winter, his shedding would increase, and so would the noticeable hair on the floor. During that time, I became aware of a de-shedding comb, the FURminator. Weary to purchase, because of the steep price ($30 for medium, dog) I did my research. I found out that FURminator works by "grabbing" the dead hairs trapped in the undercoat, the cause of shedding. I also found it got rave reviews everywhere, so I decided to purchase one. When I first brushed K9, I was amazed at the amount of hair it grabbed. In literally a few strokes it obtained a handful of hair. I was suprised, as he is a very small dog (16" from collar to tail) Proceeding, more and more hair was caught, and I ended up with a baggy full. K9, who will squirm if in any discomfort, didn't mind it at all. His fur was still full, but when you'd pet him, his hair wouldn't shed off. He also stayed sleek for a week or more, rather than a few days with his previous brush. If I fail to use the FURminator on him for a few weeks, I will notice his hair finding its way onto everything. A year later, the FURminator is still in perfect condition, a very strong, well built product. I would recommend this product not only for shedders, but also as a great grooming product for your pet. FURminators come in models for short hair, long hair, dogs or cats. For dogs its available in 5 sizes, for cats in 2. Prices depend on what model/size, and your place of purchase. FURminator brand also carries a wide range of other helpful de-shedding products, which include brushes, sprays, shampoos, and much more. FURminator brand is carried almost everywhere you find brand name pet supplies. For more information, testimonials, and their other products, please visit www.FURminator.com. Have a great New Year!
