Boy, could my cat ever use this! Have you ever gotten up in the middle of the night and stepped on hairballs in your bare feet? Yuck!

When we adopted our dog... I planned to bring home a small, hypoallergenic, female... but instead I ended up with a big hairy boy. He's beautiful with the softest fur in the world, but it's all over the floor and furniture... which is a real problem when you've got a little one who puts everything in his mouth. Thanks for a great giveaway.

I have FIVE dogs. Three of which are English Mastiffs. They shed like a man going bald. Everywhere. We look like we are wearing fur jackets half the time. It's ridiculous!

agordon10 said...

It is currently impossible for my kids to leave the house without being defurred. The dogs' fur gets everywhere on them, please help!

I have a pomeranian and a cat. Both could really use this tool, especiall the pom. It is so hard to get to the undercoat with a traditional brush.

I have a Japanese chin, a basset hound and 2 cats. I'm taking 18 hours at college, have a parttime job, 3 kids at home & my husband works on the road. The pet hair is overwhelming. Boy could I use this.

Anonymous said...

I am owned by one big ol' dorky Basset Hound, 3 spoiled rotten cats (1 longhair and 2 medium hair), and an evil bunny named Lola! Believe me, the fur is flying in this house and I would LOVE to be able to cut down on the amount of flying fur!!!

I could use this so badly. Our dog is slowly creating his own rug for us, a dog fur rug. Thank you so much!

I would love to try this on my big fluffy cats.

I can't even pet my cat without watching a rainbow trail of fur fly through the air.

Mya Brooks said...

Oh boy, what a gift from God this would be...LOL. I have 2 long haired bunnies, a long haired dog, and 2 cats! Whew, this would be heavenly!

We don't own a dog or cat, but I had to throw in my two-cents worth. I think this is fantastic! My husband and I plan to own a dog when we can settle down after he is out of law school. Right now the place we rent doesn't allow pets. And my husband wants a husky so badly. I have kept saying the shedding issue would really turn me off from a husky. I'm literally buying one of these tools now to put in storage for furture use. 3 years isn't too long to wait. Thank you for showing this product. I think it's fantastic! And now I won't say no to a husky. My hubby will be so pleased!

Greetings! We have always had cats and dogs in our home. I take extra care of things because of our pets! I have not heard about this product before. Please enter me in your wonderful drawing. I appreciate it! Thanks,Cindi

My cat sheds in clumps. There is always tufts of black fur everywhere.

2 long hair cats. Just went through an emotional three days of worry and paid a vet bill beyond belief to find out youngest kitty was very ill with fur balls! Almost worst yet, I brush her every day. Apparently the old steel pet comb is not getting it done.

I have two Alaskan Malamutes and I also work with Spirit of St. Louis Samoyed Rescue. Working with dog with coats like this I could really use a furminator.

As a volunteer for the Basset Rescue, I always have a minimum of 4 Bassets in my home. Surprisingly, despite their short coats, Bassets are very "heavy shedders." Recently at a dog show, I used a friends Furminator and was amazed by the amount of hair that was taken off after bathing and brushing! My home is full of hair, my furniture and my lungs! Please pick me!

Unknown said...

We have 3 dogs, 5 cats and 2 rabbits and there is always lots of hair!

We have a big german shepard. We are constantly sweeping the tile floor to get rid of all his hair. We could really use this.

I have an 83 lb black lab and a russian blue (grey) cat. There is always fur everywhere. it clings to the edges of the floor, it cligns to the tub, toilet, sink, walls, me, and I'm sure I've even a few pieces of fur. No matter how often you vacuum the place, the pets, and wipe down everything, there's more fur. It's really bad beneath the computers. The fans suck it under the desk. eek! Yes, I really need this thing. :)

msrodeobrat said...

with 3 long haired shedding dogs in the house this is sooo needed

barbmccrea said...

wow my dogs would love me forever(and you) If this could be used on them, I have shelties and they have to be brushed quite often, but if you brush them to much they don't keep enough hair to keep warm, this would be perfect. Thanks for the chance to win!!!

Ok, if I could ever NEED something, it's this! I have a big ole lab mix who sheds like CRAZY!! We sweep up a small dog every single day...I don't know how he isn't bald. My family needs this because we also have a ten week old son...I don't want to put him on the floor much because of the hair, but he has to learn to crawl sometime! Thanks!

With three long haired cats, we could really use these. I've looked into buying the Furminator products, but they are pricey and I hate to buy them without trying first. It would be nice to be able to try them, tehn if they really work I would happily buy them!

kmorghan said...

Wow - we could really use a Furminator. We have two rescue cats and they are serious shed-meisters! I'm constantly de-furring the furniture and my clothes. I can't believe they can shed so much hair! Plus, the hairballs - usually deposited in the hallway or somewhere else we are sure to step on in the dark - yuck! We definitely need one of these!

Anonymous said...

because my parents have been so kind to take my little pup in for a few months... and she is shedding. my parents are saints for sure. some furminating sure would ease the transition for them.

I need a cat deFurminator. Cat hair everywhere. You can't always see it, but I know it's there! I vacuum and mop all the time because I'm afraid the cat hair will end up in our food. I currently comb our cat with a comb, which works OK but I'd love the cat de-furminator!

I truly need the Furminator! I am owned by 9 cats and a 175 pound dog. All of which shed! And they all are indoor pets! To top it off- I live off of Claritin, because I am ALLERGIC to my beasties! But, the pets were here before the allergies, so...I'm stuck with a constant runny nose, itchy watery eyes and sore throat! The things we do for love..

Huguette En said...

Do I EVER need to find that product! Wow! This would save me so much frustration over the shedding of fur from my black lab Dixie. Thanks for letting me know it even existed :)

If you had a look at my blog post

you would see just how much fur we brush out of just one of our dogs, can you even imagine how much falls out and has to be swept up and how many of us need to be de-furred everyday.

jodene said...

We have two pugs and even though they are small they sure do shed alot, the change of seasons are the worse, this looks like a fantastic product.

Wow do I need this product. I love that they sell more than just brushes to help pet owners. I have 3 dogs and it is a daily chore to keep my house rid of hair everyday. This time of year is the worse for dog hair because they are all shedding at the same time. My vacuum is constantly running, my pets and I need this product.

pet hair everywhere! My dog sheds every day of the year since we don't have seasons here in Florida. Yuk. Need this desperately!

This would be wonderful! My dog needs this so bad! The worst is when I open the dryer door and see it covered in hair.

Thanks

PS said...

We just got a new dog, and my goodness does he shed. My poor two year old still sucks his thumb and now every time he puts it in, he starts going, "yuck hair!" So maybe I don't need it, because it could be a good way to wean him from sucking his thumb, but my couches and carpet say I do!

I could use this for my American Bulldog Lonna, she just keeps shedding so she itches and ends up biting herself to stop the itch, which has been causing her to get large red spots. Wish the vet wouldve told us about this! It's a shame too because she's such a pretty dog!
