Woah. It works.

A while back, before we even had Smokey, I watched an infomercial on a product called the FURminator. Originally we searched for it in hopes that we would be able to use it on Tigger, AKA Fat Bastard, but were unable to locate it, and settled for a knock off version that did not work worth a damn.

How much is a damn worth anyway?

Then Dooce wrote a post singing praises to the FURminator and I did a quick Google search on the product and ended up at the homepage, where I watched the little video they have of fur just flying off in clumps at this dogs feet. TV magic, I figured, but with the amount of fur Smokey is shedding, i felt we had to do SOMETHING.

We stopped at our local petstore this evening to see if they had them. Hope springs eternal and all that rot. I just about had a freaking heart attack when I saw the price of the thing. Holy fucking shit, I’ve never spent 49 bucks on a pair of jeans! Was I seriously going to spend that on a DOG BRUSH?

WTF? I did.

Turns out, it was worth the money, in the time it took a fifty+ pound dog to eat a handful of cheerios, this is what the FURminator collected :

Thats a full size, fits my fat ass stool, people.

Holy shit. A product that actually works like the advertisement says it will! If you have a pet that sheds, you need this thing.

*this is not a sponsored post, in fact, I paid them over fifty bucks to write it.*

  2. Isn’t it freaky how much fur comes off?! We have a similar product called the shed ender, and we use it on our cats. We got a similar sized pile off of our (15 pound) cat the other day… :shock:

  3. Woah. I need to look into getting the cat version for Dummy. He’s supposed to be a short haired cat but he’s a fat ass full of fur that comes off in your hand if you sneeze at him kind of cat. His brother barely sheds at all, but Dum Dum is gross with fur. I’m glad you posted this. I hate spending $ for something that doesn’t work. I’d rather someone else tell me whether it’s worth the buy or not.

  7. I’ve heard of that thing and don’t have one yet because it’s $59.99 for the large one.
    I’m wondering, because I have a Husky and her fur drops off in clumps anyway, but I suppose it would help? I mean, I don’t just brush her- first, I pick off the loose clumps by hand. Hmmm….

  8. I swear by the Furminator. One of my goldens has really thick fur and it takes out enough to donate to my other golden who is losing his fur to allergies! A nice golden sweater!

  9. I wonder if Avi has one for himself? ;-)

  10. My dog sheds, but she’s a shorthair, so it’s little tiny hairs.

  11. Holy shit! What’s that thing called? Can I see a picture of the actual product please? I don’t have shedding dogs anymore, but Ashley’s cat is a black sheddy thing. (Ashley’s cat is temporarily residing with us. Probably for the next 5 years or something.)
