Our Verdict
The FURminator is the most effective deshedding tool we've found. Used once or twice a week, it dramatically reduces the amount of fur on your furniture and clothes. The easy-eject button makes cleanup quick. Worth every penny if you have a heavy shedder.
What We Like
- Reduces shedding by up to 90%
- Stainless steel edge reaches undercoat
- Easy-eject button clears collected fur
- Works on dogs and cats
- Multiple sizes for different coat lengths
Watch Out For
- Can irritate skin if used too aggressively
- Not for use on wet coats
How It Works
The FURminator's stainless steel edge is designed to reach through the topcoat and remove loose fur from the undercoat — the layer responsible for most shedding. Regular brushes only remove surface fur; the FURminator gets to the source. Use it on a dry coat in long, gentle strokes.
Choosing the Right Size
FURminator comes in sizes for small, medium, and large dogs and cats, and in short-hair and long-hair versions. Getting the right size matters — a tool too large for your pet is harder to control. Check the size guide on the packaging based on your pet's weight and coat length.
How Often to Use It
Once or twice a week during shedding season (spring and fall), once a week the rest of the year. Don't overuse it — daily use can irritate the skin. Each session should take 5–10 minutes for a medium-sized dog. The amount of fur you collect the first few times will be impressive.
