Don't Dread the Shed
Dealing with shedding feels like an uphill battle to most dog lovers. While you may never stop your precious furballs from shedding, you can help to reduce the amount of hair your pet sheds with FURminator. Designed by a professional groomer, this tool reaches beyond the topcoat to remove loose hair from the undercoat. It pulls away loose hair without hurting your dog's skin or damaging his undercoat.
The Gentle Grooming Solution
Chances are, if you're a pet parent, it shows—and not always in a good way. From your couch to your favorite sweater, dog hair can get everywhere. FURminator products work to tackle your shedding problems in the comfort of your own home by targeting the loose hairs of your pal's undercoat without hurting your pup.
The FURminator Advantage
When it comes to fur, no two breeds are alike. For example, did you know that some dogs have two coats? There's a topcoat—the fur you see—and an undercoat, which you don't. With a unique deShedding edge, FURminator reaches through the topcoat to remove loose hair hiding in the undercoat. Regular brushing grooms your pup's topcoat, but only de-shedding removes the loose hairs before they shed.
Less Hair, Less Cleaning
FURminator deShedding tools can help cut down on your cleaning time by removing loose hair before it ends up around the house. That's because most of the hair you get stuck cleaning up—yes, including those furry tumbleweeds—is mostly from your dog's undercoat. This hair gets trapped under the topcoat and then sheds pretty much everywhere—and that is where the FURminator can help.
Shedding Solutions for Every Coat

Helps restore natural shine, detangles hair, moisturizes skin and deodorizes the coat

Now there's a whole line of FURminator grooming products, from anti-itch shampoos to brushes and combs, and even nail grinders. Pet parents have put their trust in the FURminator because their tools are made with quality, and they work.

Really Love This Slicker
By Kirstie on Feb 9, 2019 Top 100 Contributor
The way it is designed helps with wrist fatigue. It makes it easy to make gentle strokes so you don't irritate your dog's skin. I purchased this mainly for my Goldendoodle, but it works excellently on my miniature Eskimo's extremely thick winter double coat. I had a cheap large slicker that I had gotten for my doodle, but it didn't work well, so I ended up going over the same spot and her skin got irritated. I've stabbed myself with the tines a few times, so I know to be careful with my puppers!

The holy grail of Doodle brushes!
By Fuerwerk on Jan 20, 2019
I’ve used every type of brush and comb imaginable but they they all fell short of expectations. I was at my cousins house and I asked her what she did to keep her Great Pyrenees coat from matting up. She showed me this brush! I was using a self cleaning slicker that did the best of anything I could find but it was just okay. It was hard to get fast results on the Matt’s and tangles. So I brought over my brush and compared to hers and it became clear that the Furminator’s pins are much longer than my old one. About 1/4” vs 3/4”. And that does the trick. My dogs usually have a few inches of hair. I use the straight and angled side for a quickie run through after getting wet in the rain I’ve used every type of brush and comb imaginable but they they all fell short of expectations.

My dogs usually have a few inches of hair. I use the straight and angled side for a quickie run through after getting wet in the rain. That side is also good to get some of the surface tangles out before... using the other side with the bent pins. This is what gets the deep stuff near the skin. You still need to work at it but you actually get rid of the matting without terrorizing your pup. I found best results by starting by parting the hair to expose the skin a bit and then work my way against the grain lifting small sections and brushing through. I may start at a paw and then work my way up to the body in a small strip. … more

Clears undercoat
By Susy on Jan 9, 2019
My dog is a doberman/shepherd mix with a coat that is not really heavy but has long hairs on top and lots of furry undercoat. I've used the Furminator brush and don't like it too well. It pulls out the undercoat but creates a cloud hair all over the place and it pulls him uncomfortably. I like this slicker better for pulling out the undercoat. It collects the fine hairs in the tines and they are easy to remove as a handful. Also, it doesn't seem to pull his skin as uncomfortably as the brush, but I do use it lightly and don't make bushing sessions last long.

Great for Golden’s!
By JacquelineH on Jan 27, 2019
I have a 3 year old Golden Retriever and a 3 year old Blue Heeler, we have tried everything from de shedding shampoo to brushes and this was a great buy for us! It combs their fur so easy while still getting all the loose hair out! Recommend for anyone with long hair or shedding dogs!

My husky loves this brush....
By MarkH on Dec 4, 2018
...And so do I. My husky “blows her coat” twice a year and this brush so far has saved so much time cleaning up fur around the house. I own and love a few Furminagor products and they work great.

Works fine but came broken
By Doug on Dec 4, 2018
It brushes out my dogs hair well enough but he doesn't really like it. I think the teeth are a bit to abrasive for him. Also the brush i received was falling apart like it wasnt glued right

Akward handle
By Lilly on Jan 28, 2019
Akward handle. To bulky in hand. Weight of brush is not balanced for good hand ergonomics
