Get Rid of Dog Hair. Get the FURminator. It WORKS. Seriously. {Review & Giveaway}

Saturday, January 30, 2010 Posted by Piera Jolly

When Mike and I decided that we were ready for a dog, we researched and researched. Actually, I researched. A lot. For years, I wanted a German Shephard, but then through my research I discovered that they shed a lot and I didn't want to have to deal with the hair. In the end, we decided on a labrador retriever. Family friendly?  Check. Smart? Check. Light shedders? Check. Or so I thought. Someone online lied to me because Aries--my beautiful chocolate lab sheds. A lot. A LOT. Her hair gets into and onto everything. I have to clean constantly to just keep it at bay. I also shave Aries during the warmer months and at the beginning of each season. Basically, all of this means TIME. Time cleaning. Time shaving her. Time time time. I want it back and I can honestly say that the FURminator has given me some of my time back.

The truth is that I have been hearing about the FURminator since before I started blogging. It always intrigued me, but I kind of thought it was a "gadget". When I was contacted about reviewing it, I had to say yes so that I could finally put it to the test. I have to tell you that I firmly believe that every dog and cat owner should have one of these! It works.

I was sent the FURminator deShedding Solution and the FURminator Deluxe Collection DeShedding Tool with FURejector to review. The deShedding Solution is supposed to help release the undercoat and loose hair.

It is enriched with oatmeal, vitamins, and aloe vera to help strengthen hair shafts and is hypoallergenic. It has a very clean and fresh scent and leaves Aries smelling great. While I don't think it is a must have product, it definitely is nice to have around. The real star though is the FURminator Deluxe Collection DeShedding Tool with FURejector!

Product Description:

* Grooming brush reduces shedding up to 90%
* Easy to use push-button fur ejector
* Quickly & easily removes undercoat & loose hair
* For long- and short-haired dogs & cats
* Available in small, medium or large

Basically, the FURminator is super easy to use. Just brush your dog {or cat} with it and watch as the loose hair comes out! What's cool about the Deluxe Collection is that it has the FURejector so all you do is push the button to "eject" all of the fur out of the FURminator to clean it! It is EASY and CONVENIENT to use. And, best of all---it works! I have noticed considerably less shedding going on at my house and that makes me one happy fur baby momma!

See The FURminator In Action:

Want It: The FURminator Deluxe Collection deShedding Tool with FURejector can be purchased at various retailers across the country and starts at $42.99.

    I'm stuck between wanting the cat tool or the medium tool. We have a medium-sized dog (border collie), and he's fluffy and sheds tons. But we also have a long-haired cat, and he winds up with mats in his fur very easily.
