THE FURMINATOR
Posted by utahhomes on March 18, 2008
Usually I’m pretty skeptical about ‘miracle’ inventions, so I bought The Furminator with some hesitation. The price tag of $50 especially made me a little nervous. Well, I can say after it’s first use today that it’s worth every penny.
This is my 2-year old German Shepherd, Bailey (or The Beast as we affectionately call her). She’s an awesome dog, great with the kids, super smart – the only downside is that she is a shedding machine. We’ve tried slicker brushes, undercoat rakes, professional grooming, etc. with no luck. The Furminator was my last resort before we resolved ourselves to a hair-covered house. Now there’s hope! I watched all of the demo videos on The Furminator website, and figured they must have brought in dogs off of the street that had never been groomed. I can honestly say that I got at least this much hair off of Bailey and probably could have gotten more if I had kept going. The instructions say not to brush too long or you’ll irritate the dog’s skin, so I’ll give it another go next week.
I’m happy to add The Furminator as the first post in my ‘Cool Stuff’ category. From a real estate standpoint, I think it’s a great tool if you have a dog and plan to sell a house. I see a lot of homes that are covered in dog hair and the owners were having the same predicament that I was. I will definitely recommend The Furminator to all of my clients, family and friends.
