Pet owners are you tired of having everything in your home
and car (don’t forget your clothes) covered in fur? The
FURminator deShedding Tool was developed by professional groomer, Angie
Porter, to reduce excess hair and shedding. When it comes
to shedding, most people think of heavily shedding dogs
such as the Golden Retriever, but the FURminator can also
be used on cats, rabbits, ferrets and even horses.
Brushing just removes the top coat; whereas, the FURminator is
designed in a “rake-like” design that reaches to the loose fur
from the undercoat. It is especially helpful during the “heavy”
shedding months. For cat owners, the FURminator reduces the
amount of hairballs your pet “coughs” up. It is recommended to
use a deshedding tool on a monthly basis since undercoat grows
back every 4-6 weeks.
The FURminator comes in a range of sizes and prices according
to your pet’s needs. It is designed with a easy to grip rubber
handle which is comfortable to use. The deshedding tool is
designed not to cut the hair, but to gently pull out the fluffy
undercoat. It will work on all shedding dogs and even some
“hair cut only” breeds. Breeds with single coats or
continuously growing hair such as Poodles, Shitzus, Maltese,
Bihons, Portuguese Water Dogs, and Irish Water Spaniels are
typically not good candidates for the FURminator deshedding
treatment.
Over a short period of time, you will see the results of using
the
FURminator deShedding Tool when you pet your dog or cat and don’t
end up with large amounts of fur in your hand. Your
furniture, clothes and vehicle will be noticeably less
furry than before using the FURminator!
