Hi Everyone,
Today is a review of the FURMinator Dual Pet Hair Brush, this brush is intended solely for dogs, but I didn't realize that until I already got it, oh well. I do like this brush, it is double sided too; one side is pin, the other side is "natural". I did not like the pin side, it caught very little fur and irritated Anya's skin, I do like the natural side though, it is course and dense, perfect for shorthaired animals or silky, it got a good amount of dead fur off of the cats, but Anya the most. I even use the natural side to clean my curtains! It works wonders to remove cat hair from my 3 girls. Saphira, who borderline hates being brushed liked this brush and would let me brush her. Star loves it as a facial message brush! lol. Anya likes it for her weekly brushing.
Shortly after I got Nico and Anya, we got them a FURMinator Longhaired Cat Deshedding Tool Brush for $60 dollars when it first came out. I hated it! I threw it out 1 year later. It cut poor Nico's skin, messed up his fur (it was never like before after we used it), and the teeth of the brush starting snagging on whiskers and claws. I am still not a big fan of FURMinator because of this, this brush that I am reviewing now isn't that bad, but this will likely be the last thing I will ever use from FURMinator. Do not use any deshedding brush on Ragdoll cats! It screws up their beautiful silky coat.

We use the Furminator for short hair kitties, and all I have to do is wave it in the air and Quinn comes running. There is an immediate deep purr when I start using it. The only thing she hates is having her belly done, and I respect that.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your honest review. I can't wait to see more kitten photos.
