I think they sell different ones for different coats but we just had the classic one and use it on our dane and our cats (one of which has a long coat).

If you use it too often, you can actually thin your pet's hair out too much and they will end up with bald/thin spots. Once a week is a good schedule/habit to get into, but no more than that.

I just can't keep up with all the fur. I've always been hesitent to purchase the FURminator because of the price. But then a friend gave me hers to try out. Total life CHANGER!

She LOVES being "de-furred"! Her eyes will close and she'll turn around so I can get her other side. She's not crazy about her tail being combed, but I try to hold the tail so that it doesn't pull her hair so much. Reduced shedding by about 90%. After her hysterectomy, she stress-shed tremendously. The FURminator definitely helped with that. I had to empty the blade after each pass as there was so much hair. After she recovered, she is back to her lower shedding. It's the first thing I do when her "other mother" drops her off - Furminate her. Definitely worth the $$.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-49326379877323106412016-07-08T20:20:41.837-04:002016-07-08T20:20:41.837-04:00Thank you so much for this review!

I knew what I was getting into when I got her and had planned to have her groomed as often as possible. This seems like a much more budget friendly answer. I will definitely be looking into getting one very soon! Thanks!!!

Pugs shed like crazy! It works really well, but you have to keep up with it. For the past year, I've been shaving him with electric clippers, and that works better than anything else I've tried! Shedding is almost nonexistent now!

I don't know what the difference is to her, but she begs to be combed since I bought the FURminator. I comb her in the utility sink in the mud room, and she never misses an opportunity to jump in the sink and reach up to the rack where she knows I keep it. I could make 2 more kitties out of what I get off of her in one brushing. It is expensive as pet combs go, but it is worth every cent.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932052972867806872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-42855555597642979822016-07-07T16:42:02.616-04:002016-07-07T16:42:02.616-04:00I am going to get one.
