FURminator deShedding Tool for Medium/Large Cats, Short Hair, Removes Loose Hair from Shedding

We use it once a week and it’s amazing how much hair comes out. I haven’t seen hairballs in quite a while.

My cat loves to be brushed with the Furminator and it works very well.

I havent found anything to dislike about this yet. A single stroke with the furminator got more hair out than an entire brushing with a little cheapie $6 brush and I dont have to dig and pull the hair out between a million tiny bristles. However, I did pay for a new product and based on the marks it has I believe I was given a returned item, so for that Im deducting two stars. I wont return it because amazon is still offering it at the cheapest price compared to the other stores I frequent. At least for now.

This is the best brush I’ve ever used on my kitties! As you can tell, I have an orange cat and a gray cat, and I’m honestly not sure how they still have any fur left after brushing them. I used this about a week and a half ago, and it has helped my orange kitty with coughing up hairball. I’m very glad I made this purchase!

Id had the same Furminator for many years but lost it. I was delighted with this new one. It has. a wider area for brushing. At the same time, the handle is much easier to hold. They upgraded it and now I feel glad I lost my old one. This new one is much better. The delivery and shipping were fantastic, too.

Works so good. I get a lot of hair off my cat.

My sweet cat Dante is a huge shedder even as a short hair. Id been using a bog standard cat brush to brush him every morning and it would not pick up a lot at all - even though every time we pet him wed come away with a handful of loose hair. Finally got this brush and ohhhh my gosh the amount of hair that comes off of him is UNREAL! Its like a whole nother cat coming out of his undercoat! Pretty gross but very satisfying both for me and Dante. Highly recommend grabbing a plastic bag and a pair of gloves before using this brush if you have a shedder like Dante just to keep the mess under control. Dantes always liked being brushed, it took him a little bit to get used to this one but now hes wild for it, purrs up a storm every time. I dont really use the feature thats supposed to get the fur off of the brush with a click, with the amount of fur I take off of him in just a couple strokes I find it easier to just remove it from the brush with my (gloved) hand and put it in the plastic bag. Ive already noticed a slight difference in loose hair around the house/in Dantes usual spots, hopefully with time itll get even better.

I have tried many different brushes at many different prices, including some cheaper ones that claim to be a Furminator alternative, but while there have been other brushes with acceptable performance, there is simply no substitute for the genuine article. This thing gets by far the most amount of loose hair off of my cats. Nothing else even comes close. In fact, you may want to take your time while using it because it gets off so much hair that you can end up with clumps of fur floating around in the air if you dont stop to clean it off every minute or two. Thankfully its very easy to clean off the hair just by pushing the button and shaking it off into the trash. Most importantly, the cats love being brushed with it. The price tag might understandably make you skeptical but trust me when I say that its worth the extra cost.

We adopted a small 10lb cat who sheds A LOT - like, fur visibly flying off of her at all times. I wanted a de-shedding tool to get out some of the loose undercoat and got this Furminator sized for Medium/Large Cats. It feels pleasantly heavy and sturdy and the shaped grips feels nice in the hand. Importantly, our cat doesnt mind us using it at all, especially if shes already relaxing. She doesnt like certain types of other brushes weve tried, but she does like this one. I think the short teeth act more like a rake than a brush so it doesnt feel as overstimulating as other brushes can. It pulls up a really good amount of the loose undercoat, and I rarely see any of her top coat getting pulled by it. She has a light grey, soft and fluffy undercoat with a darker top coat so its easy to tell the difference. I use this once or twice a week as long as shell let me use it, or more frequently for just a few brushes. Its important not to use de-shedding tools like this often (and only use them on cats with undercoats) as you can risk pulling up the top coat, too, if used too frequently. If I start to see top coat hairs being pulled I wont use it again for another few days. The ejector button doesnt really do anything, if youre curious about that feature. It slides a silicone piece forward along the metal rake but it doesnt actually push the hair off, so you still have to pull it out yourself. Luckily no big deal.

I have a long haired cat. It gets rid of the winter undercoat
