I just discovered that my favorite dog grooming tool is on sale. It’s called the Furminator and I’ve been using it for over a year and a half on my Labrador Retriever Midnight.
As you can see the Furminator is on sale for a very low price right now. When I bought mine -about a year and a half ago I paid $60 for it. Currently the large FURminator deShedding Tool
The Furminator deshedding tool has been designed to reduce shedding better than any brush, comb, or rake. This tool works effectively for all shedding breeds of dogs and cats, both long- and short-haired.
What I like about the FURminator deShedding Tool
The undercoat of fur on dogs and cats tends to be the major source of shedding and the allergies and cleanliness problems that come with it. It’s said that using the Furminator will decrease shedding by 60 to 80% for about four to six weeks! I’ve found this to be true. A few good grooming sessions when my dog starts to shed and TaDa she sheds a whole lot less over the next month or so.
I have to admit that the tool looks a little brutal – but I’ve never had a problem when using it with my dog. She sits patiently as I run the Furminator through her fur and seems to enjoy being groomed. The tool itself utilizes a unique 4-inch stainless-steel edge that grabs loose undercoat hair and quickly and easily removes it, without damaging the topcoat.
Like most good grooming tools it helps to bring out your pets natural oils and leaves a shiny and healthy topcoat. Many of my readers have commented how shiny my dogs coat is and I think I have The FURminator (and her diet) to thank for that!
Another item that I use when I’m grooming my dog are a rubber grooming tool called the Zoom Groom For Dogs
I often finish a grooming session by spritzing my dog with Miracle Coat Spray-On Leave – In Conditioner & Lusterizer for Dogs

Have you used the FURminator or any of these other products when grooming or caring for your cat or do? What do you think of the FURminator and the rest of the products I’ve mentioned?
What an awesome dog ! i do like Labradors they are so smart ! they almost act like human.
I’ve heard there’s a furminator for cats too. But I wonder if it would tug too much for my long-hair cats to put up with!
Those things are a lifesaver when Nanuk our Samoyed has his turn to shed. His coat is great the whole year round, no shedding except for one huge shed period.
The variety of accessories that are available for dogs are unbelievable. These kind of tools are extremely important if the dogs are hairy. I still remember how my Lhasa Apso would shed his hair and how my entire bedroom was filled with it.
All that is required is a bit of care and there is no problem that cannot be taken care off.
I also love Labradors!. They are very smart and friendly like Golden Retriever. I have Golden Retriever and Pomeranian. Love them very much!
I Love labs, they are great reliable dogs. I always recommend Labradors to people looking to get a new dog. As they are good with children.

thanks for that we are gonna give it a trail here at our grooming studio we tend to just use the coat king but will try this and we tell you the results later thanks again lawrence
Lawrence I haven’t heard of Coat King (maybe it’s not sold in Canada?) but I do love our furminator. I hope you get a chance to try one.
I’ve been using the Furminator to give my dog regular grooming sessions each week this summer. As I said in the post it gets all the loose hair and I think it takes some of the hair from her undercoat so I’m hoping that the regular grooming might help take some of her excess fur away and help her stay a little cooler during the summer. It’s pretty hot here this summer!
