Cheapest FURminator Large Yellow deShedding Tool with 4-Inch Edge

I bought one of these shortly after adopting an old dog from the pound. Keller (the poor old girl) was a mess. Heartworms, broken tail, mostly deaf, partly blind, and sad. Her coat was a mess. I doubt she'd ever really been brushed before, actually. When we got her, she had tufts of undercoat sticking out (you could lightly pull them and get a wad of fur) and her fur was just dull and felt wrong. My husband and I were also having allergen issues with her, something we've never had with any of our dogs before. Even after a bath and brushing with a shedding tool, her coat was a mess. On a friend's advice, I bought the medium FURminator.

The first night I used it, I got most of a plastic grocery bag of fur off of her. (This was in January, so I quit when I got to the point where I couldn't take the static electricity any more. I was plastered with dog hair - not the brush's fault!) I brushed her every other night for about week. Her coat improved drastically. It took about two more months (and two more baths), but my husband and I no longer get rashes after petting her. Our vet said she looked like a different dog! (Keller ignored us and our other dog for the first couple of months we had her. She turned 15 in April and now behaves like a normal dog - she plays, barks, and lets us love on her.)

I have a beagle mix, too, with shorter hair. Tippy doesn't have the major undercoat that Keller has, but I use the FURminator on her as well. The hard part is keeping her from rolling over because she wants me to use it on her tummy. Tippy's got spots on her back legs that shed a lot and it works wonders there.

I only wish I'd had this product when we had our Labrador! I could spend a week brushing her with a regular dog brush and not get half the fur off that I could in 10 minutes with the FURminator.

It's probably not the best for a dog with a single coat (like smooth coat terriers), but I highly recommend this to anyone who has a dog with a double coat.
