WildatHeart Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I am amazed at how much hair I get out of my birman. I brought the cheap copy furminator and works great on the gsd too. There's a cheap copy???? OMG, I could have saved $110??? LOL Yes, they call it the deshedder and its about $30 :D Here's the link furmintators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddles Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 are these furminators better than, same as a mars comb? I've seen them, but since they are very expensive, I'm hesitent, I'm wondering if they would be good for ears etc. my dog yelps something shocking when I try to comb out his ears..

Bully Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I use one on my Bull Terrier, love it! I am still amazed at how much fur it gets out! Kaos wont let me touch her with it What size do you use? Was thinking of ordering a medium :D Pele is shedding like crazy and I use a Zoom Groom on her, but if a Furminator works better then I'm sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just checking out the Clipperworld site and the medium cheaper de-shedder is out of stock. Would this be the same thing Noah's De-Shedding Kit as the cheaper de-shedder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion furminators are harsher than a mars coat king. I use my Mars on the show dogs and the furminator on the pets and horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if they're genuine Well I got my ebay ordered furminator and it looks the same as the one I brought for $120 from Petbarn - package is a bit damaged so I don't know if that means they have done some creative repackaging. It is in Furminator packaging. I guess I will know if it works the same when I use it tonight. Still, $100 cheaper than Petbarn, it has me wondering... Anyone else order one from ebay?

silverdog Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Ok.. update. Finally got a furminator, and it is AMAZING. Works great on the weims. Doesn't damage the coat and pulls lots of dead hair out of the ones who are still shedding. Way more effective than either my hound mitt or slicker. We'll see how it goes with regular use, but at this point, I would have to say I am impressed. (Not with the price though.. OUCH!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stolzseinrotts Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Anyone else order one from ebay? I have one that I ordered off Ebay. I put it up against a genuine one, can't see the difference. Used both on same dog, still can't see a difference. I know that my hip pocket knows the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way they say it. There are two types. There's the Furminator - the real one, then there's the deShedder - the cheap copy. In the ebay listing you can notice that they call it the 'Furminator deShedding Tool'. I dont think anything is different betweent the two either (except the price) and my deShedder does a great job.

Red Fox Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I bought my FURminator from here: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GENUINE-FURMINATOR-...%3D10%26ps%3D63 It cost me a little over $20 inc postage, came in sealed branded packaging with a guarantee and is stamped with the FURminator logo and US patents numbers on top. To me it looks genuine but I have nothing to compare it too.... Anyhow it works great. I dont think it loosens the dead hair as much as my Zoom Groom (though that could be due to the fact that I dont apply as much pressure) but it collects the hair well and Kei's coat feels really nice after using it. I've taken to giving him a good hard brush with the Zoom Groom followed by a once over with the FURminator I can't say I get a LOT of hair out of him, but then he is a Ridgie and doesn't have a lot to start off with The real test was when I brushed the cat (Burmese) with it last week. I got enough hair out to build a whole new kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiwogabull* Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Bought it .... Use it... LOVE IT Lucky I went to buy something to brush the Permanently shedding long haired "Putty Tat" Furminator was recommended AND on half price special Was really surprised it worked on such a short coat ..Bull Terrier Miniature..he doesn't mind it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
