My new favorite gadget: The FURminator.
I first encountered this amazing brush at our local dog wash where it was able to rid my dog of an amazing amount of her undercoat. Then, someone brought his to the dog park and we all watched in awe as he brushed his big shaggy dog and created a huge pile of dog hair. Really, the pictures on the website are not exaggerations.
The downside? It’s friggin’ expensive. I’ve seen it for as much as $60 at one pet store — but finally found one on sale for $40. Even that gave me pause — $40 for a dog brush? Really? Have I really become one of those people who spends $40 on a dog accoutrement? Obviously I have.
But, if you’ve got a dog with an undercoat or a long haired cat, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
End of sales pitch, I promise.

Oooh, no, MORE of the sales pitch! We’re suffocating in cat hair here; tumbleweeds of it roll across the prairie of our living room. Does it cut down on the amount of hair you’re taking off furniture and floors?

Kfluff — We’ve got the tumbleweeds in our house too — thanks to the dog and two cats. But, I’ve been brushing all three with this pricey toy and it seems to be making a difference. Hope it works out for you too!
