The FURminator

For all the pet owners, I want to tell you about the Furminator because it does such an awesome job.  It is a shedding tool for dogs and cats that helps to remove the undercoat.  My oldest daughter has an allergy to dog dander.  Getting rid of our dog was not an option, so I’m always looking for ways to reduce the allergens in our house.  Besides getting a better air filter for our air conditioning unit and a better vacuum, I think the Furminator is one of the best purchases I’ve made.  My sister and I initially split the purchase of the first one because we weren’t sure how good it was going to work.  After one use, both my sister and I were sold.  I have used it on my dog and on my long haired cat, and both enjoy being brushed by the Furminator.

I have attached a picture of my dog after a few minutes of brushing with the Furminator.  Keep in mind some of her hair is dark so you can’t see it well on the grass, and some of it blew away also.  Every time I brush my animals I am just amazed at how much hair comes off.

The best price I was able to find was through Amazon for about $25-30, which is much cheaper than I have seen in the local pet stores.  I recommend this for any pet owner who has an animal that sheds.  It has reduced the dander that my daughter is allergic to and the number of unwanted pet hair “tumbleweeds” in my house.
