Update: Congratulations to our winner, Jill!!!
Our first pet product giveaway is here! Win a brand new FURminator deLuxe size medium for dogs and cats. This product is available at pet retail stores, veterinarian offices, and online, and retails for $54.99.
Spring is here, which means an increase in shedding in our dogs and cats. This can mean extra cleaning time for you and hairballs for your cats.
Verdict: Does the FURminator work? Yes!! The FURminator uses patented technologies to remove the undercoat and loose hair, and reduces shedding up to 90 percent. I’ve done a video review of the FURminator with my dog in the video below. As you’ll hear in the video, I first bought a cat sized FURminator for my cat last summer, when he started having frequent hairballs. The hairballs ended immediately when I started grooming him with the FURminator. My regular brush and comb wasn’t doing the job.
I never tried the FURminator on my dog until I received the Medium sized tool today. You’ll see the results in the video! Although I only use it on my dog in the video, the medium size will work on adult cats as well. The package states “For medium dogs and cats.”

I already own a Furminator so I don’t think I need to be entered in the contest, but I am curious. What do you do with the hair you remove. Every time I brush my Golden Retriever I end up with a backyard full of golden hair. Sometimes this thing works too well. I imagine all the birds in my neighborhood has soft, furry, golden nest. Any tips for containing the hair onslaught?
LOL Shannon. When I am outside I do let it go in the breeze. I never imagined that it would end up in a birds nest, but I bet it does!!
I have heard of people who knit with it! They make scarves, sweaters, and purses!
I need one of these!!! I have 2 dogs and am possibly getting another rescue dog soon! Awesome giveaway!!!

Hi Leigh,
Great video presentation! Mr. Blue is soooo adorable! Loved when he sniffed toward the camera 🙂
So sad little Amy is gone, she could have used that Furminator.
I have heard such great things about the FURminator and would love to be entered into the contest. I have three cats who could greatly benefit from it 🙂 I’m following you on Twitter @aforsch1 and became a fan of yours on FB!
I became a fan on facebook., followed you on twitter, and tweeted about your contest. Thanks!
Thanks for showing that on a short-coated dog! I have a pit bull with the same short, bristly coat as your Catahoula and always veered away from the Furminator because they showed Retrievers and double-coated dogs on the commercials all the time, but never a short-coated one. Thanks!
Liz – yep, I had no idea if it would work on his coat. The video was a true test. So I was glad to see it does. Another tool that has worked on him is a rubber tool that you hold in the palm of your hand and it reminds me of a horse grooming tool. I rub that on him in circles and it lifts out hair too. By the way…I looked at your blog and see that you’re in Akron too. Poor Sophie!!!

I was just saying to my husband last night that we need a Furminator. Our boy Murphy–a rescued pit bill mix, and the best boy ever!–is starting to shed a lot now.
I know the winner of this contest is being chosen randomly, but I also wanted to suggest, if you ever get your hands on another extra Furminator, that you might consider sending it to a K9 unit deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Just imagine how hot those poor dogs must get. I actually just saw a listing where a dog handler specifically requested a brush or something to help with the working dogs’ shedding. Anyway, just a suggestion. 🙂 Thanks!

love mr. blue! wonder how well this would work on a husky? i have a rake and one of those deshedding tools but i can brush and brush her and she always has fuzzballs! i’m not a tweeter, so i’ll just say hi on here!
Lori, if you visit the FURminator site the second dog they show is either a Husky or a Malamute (I always get those two mixed up). I bet it would work better on a Husky than it does on Mr. Blue, since it could really grab a hold of the fur!!
I need it. I have 15 cats…. Thanks…………
