Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Hello fellow Amazonians! Today I am reviewing the FURminator Long Hair deShedding Tool for Large Dogs. First let me say, WOW! Where has this thing been all these years?! We purchased this tool after recently adopting a Golden Retriever puppy, of all the dogs I have had.... This dog is one of the best at shedding! After hearing all the hype and hoopla (and being sick of fur EVERYWHERE) and even a recommendation from our vet (surprised by that?) I went ahead and purchased it. Pros: -Not JUST a brush, the tool thins your dog's fur leaving less to shed on your carpet. -Easy to use. -FURejector button proves very helpful with the sheer amount of fur the tool removes. -Dog didn't seem to mind it. -EFFECTIVE. Cons: -Can not be used as a stand alone grooming tool, best if used in conjunction with an undercoat rake at MINIMUM to remove mats and knots in the fur prior to using this tool.Oster Professional Pet Grooming Undercoat Rake, 18 Teeth Wide, Coarse Also, for any who may ask about the frequency of use... Some say to use the FURminator once a month, others say every grooming session. The honest answer seems to be; use your discretion. If you can get by using a standard brush and use the FURminator once a month, do so. If shedding is persistent and doesn't get any better after the first use, give it another go. In my experience, shedding has drastically reduced after one 10-15 minute session with the FURminator and an undercoat rake. P.S. Ty is the name of our Golden Retriever. In case you were wondering. :)
