The Furminator


Sometimes when you find a new product and it is really awesome, one just has to write about it. 

The Furminator by all accounts lives up to it's name. I was skeptical of this "miracle" brush to say the least and I was also put off by it's $40 price tag in the store. I will say I got sucked into watching the videos when I was at Aslin Finch the other day. I thought no way! My short haired mutt Kai sheds so damn much we call her the fur factory. I have given up being anything but covered in dog hair, no matter how hard I might try.  But this brush according to many reviews on amazon and many videos seemed to be just the "miracle" it claimed to be. 

I decided to give it ago, having decided maybe we could sell coats or possibly learn to weave dog hair into more fashionable clothing if we could get it off of her in chunks.

I purchased the Furminator from Amazon. At exactly half the cost. I still thought $20 was too much to spend on a brush... but if it made my comforter cease looking like a polar bear pelt it would be worth it!

I am happy to report that it is worth it! Stupid amounts of fir came off of Kai, holy cow! Sadly I don't have any pictures of the stupid giant pile! I do however have a video.... from Jacob's perspective (keep in mind we had been celebrating mother's day with lots of beer, wine, and mom's favorite brandy, we are weird to begin with.... but...)

Here goes, the pile is giant, two good handfuls. I have brushed her again since then and proceeded to get at least one more handful from her. I could probably brush her every day and get the same song and dance.

  1. I second that! It's also GREAT for bunnies! I didn't have the $ to buy a second one so I use the big one on them. One of our dogs is also a fur machine, so we brush her outside otherwise we end up eating flying fur. Ugh.

  2. That is a VERY impressive pile of hair to come from a short haired doggie. That is a great brush.
