FURminator deShedding Tool

The verdict

A specialist tool, and worth understanding before buying. FURminator describe it as reaching through the topcoat to remove loose undercoat hair without cutting skin or damaging the topcoat when used as directed — that last clause is doing real work, because the tool is aggressive and over-using it on the wrong coat can thin it. On a double-coated dog in a spring moult it removes an alarming and satisfying quantity of hair that a slicker never reaches. The FURejector button clears the blade in one press. Owners report it outperforming rakes and note reduced shedding for several days afterward, splitting mainly on price. Note this specific listing is the medium-to-large long-hair cat version; check the sizing and species variant against your dog before ordering.

Drawbacks

• Aggressive — overuse can damage a coat
• Listing variants differ by species and coat; check before ordering
