I have not tried the furminatior, but I tried the furminatior knock-off (shedender?) and I was not impressed. But I only tried it on Nebo it may work better on other dogs

I use the coat king a lot at work to help with shedding. It works really well with double coated dogs. Mine has fairly spaced out blades (I think medium/coarse 10), I'm sure one with more blades closer together would work on shorthaired dogs better. Click here to view the coat king. Here is a similar product (my boss has one and it works just as well as my coat king) that is cheaper click here.

I also really like rubber curry brushes for shorthaired dogs.

I love my rubber brush! its not getting as much out as it used to so i think i might need another one, Ive tried coatkings it got quite a bit out but i got a better result with the zoom groom.. I think im just fighting a loosing battle here lol

I bought one of these today after wanting to get one for sooooo long. Our natural pet food place started selling them. We spent around $90 on food and the furminator, so the lady gave us two free toys.

I've tried tons of brushes and techniques to brush them with, it's never worked this well and this easily! My yard is covered with fur for the birdies to use in nests.

I was meaning to bump this thread up. All the Furminator is, is a clipper blade. If you hae clippers at home brush your dog with it and it will give the same effect as the Furminator. Some person was just genious to figure ti out and make millions off it.

Hmm maybe since they are so expensive I'll make some that are cheaper and become a millionaire too lol
