The best tool I have found so far!:
Borrowed the smaller version of the FURminator from a friend and loved it! Went to look for it in a pet store and realized that they were VERY expensive so I checked on-line and found it at Amazon for a fraction of the price (80% off the retail price in the store!).
The FURminator is so much better than a regular dog brush...the fine comb gets under the top layer of fur to the undercoat and does a fabulous job of deshedding while not too abrasive to the dog's skin. I'm not sure that it eliminates 90%... more info
AWESOME! MUST BUY:
We have a short haired border collie/smooth collie mix. This gets a ton of loose hair out of her that we had no idea was there (until we saw it all over the couch). This is a MUST BUY for ANY dog owner. You'll never know how much hair your dog sheds until you buy this.
My cat loves it:
The furminator is the best grooming tool in our repertoire for one big reason: the cat loves it. Whenever it comes out of the drawer, the cat comes running to get 'furminated.' We also have a ChowChow that tolerates it when his fur is cut for the summer, but when he's fully fluffed, he actively enjoys a good brushing as well. 5 stars for sturdy construction, ease of use, and kitty friendliness.
less work, more fur:
as a professional groomer I find this tool awesome for particular kinds of coats. I dont recommend this for dogs without an undercoat as it will pull out the "hair" on breeds who dont shed excessively and will cause pain to the animal. I also recommended that you do not "force" the hair to come out on undercoats by brushing too hard as it will also pull out the top guard hairs that may not intended to be shed at that time. Simply drag the brush over the coat and the hair will slide out. A good scrubbing in... more info
