Furminator WOW
Date: August 4, 2008
"I was hesitant to shell out so much money for yet another comb or brush for my ever shedding long haired cats. Luckily my neighbor had one and I was able to borrow it for a test. It was so fantastic that I ordered three, one for my sister, one for a friend and one for my cats. The cats love it and it certainly does the job. And to top it off, Petco's online price was much lower than any other source I found!"

FURminator is the TERMINATOR
Date: July 30, 2008
"LOVE this comb for the cats. I have 3 and they have had (are having) varied reactions to it.
Cammie (my oldest at 15) is a little tender skinned these days and will put up with it, but only if i talk to her sweetly and let her walk away when she's had enough (i finally learned after a couple of nips!)
Stanley (at 7, a middle child) LOVES the Furminator and reports for combing every time i go into the bedroom. He has a major combing out right at bedtime, and he just LOVES it. He can't get enough.
'Xander (about a year and a half) is still a little "animal" and won't sit long for anything before erupting into "play fighting" ... he's slowly coming along, though and its a good thing, cause he has a LOT of undercoat and I want to get at it!!

Kitties love it!
Date: July 21, 2008
"I have two cats - one short haired and the other long, fine, clingy hair. They both like the furminator better than any other slicker brush or comb I've ever used. And I like it because I find less cat hair to clean off floors, clothes, furniture, etc.
I bought one for my daughter who has a main coon cat who resembles Mufasa. He also likes the furnimator and willingly tolerates the lenghty time required to goom his long, thick cost.

Great tool!
Date: July 18, 2008
"This tool is great! Gets down to the underside of my cats fur and eliminates the thick masses that grow. My cat seems to have less hairballs already!"

Incredible
Date: July 14, 2008
"My cat loves to be "furminated" but never cared for other brushes, combs, etc. The amount of hair it removes is incredible. Jake has short hair and I still can't believe how much comes off each time I use it."

One of the Best!
Date: June 26, 2008
"We have 2 cats, my mom has 4. Our cats are short hairs, my mom's cats are long haired kitties. I bought one for our cats, mostly on a whim and being VERY skeptical. IT WORKED SO WELL, I bought one to try on my mom's cats (Mom has arthritis, so grooming can be a challenge some days!) ... it was a breeze to use AND it was effective at removing TONS of undercoat hair. I have already recommended this to all my cat & dog friends."

Works, but...
Date: June 25, 2008
"It works, but it's messy since the fur flies everywhere. Unfortunately, my cat hates it more than her slicker brush."

Loved this produce!
Date: June 24, 2008
"I am very pleased with the FURminator. It is amazing how much fur I've gotten off both my cats. I highly recommend this tool to anyone wanting to give their cats a good grooming. Both of my cats seemed to enjoy getting de-furred by this tool. I am very, very pleased!"

best brush ever
Date: June 22, 2008
"I love this furminator. It is an amazing brush and it really does remove tons of the hair on the cat that is normally left on the couch or my pants. I showed my parents how well this brush works by using it on their basset hound and they too are purchasing the item."

Great Idea!
Date: June 19, 2008
"This product is a great invention. It's ergonomically design is so easy to use, and comfortable on the wrists and arms. This deshedding tool allows me to comb away much more hair than when I use my other brushes. It's great as it helps in preventing hairballs and vomiting. The Furminator works well with our short-haired cat as well as our medium-haired cat. Seeing the amount of hair that is removed after each stroke of the deshedding tool is amazing!"

Expensive for a brush and WORTH EVERY PENNY
Date: May 14, 2008
"This brush is absolutely awesome! My cat loved getting brushed by it. And the pictures they put on the packaging are absolutely true! Afterward, the amount of hair I got off my cat, could have made a whole nother cat. We just maintain his shedding coat by "furminating" him every weekend."

Well worth the money!
Date: April 23, 2008
"I was a little skeptical about spending $40 on cat brush, especially being that my cats have short fur and I've tried just about every other brush out there on them. I just assumed they didn't have much fur to shed. Boy was I wrong! I couldn't believe the fur that just kept coming off! I swear I brushed off a full cat! My cats didn't seem to mind the brush too much and I feel better knowing they won't be ingesting all that fur. This product is well worth the money!"

Don't Let the Price Tag Scare You!
Date: March 10, 2008
"Finally a product that does exactly what it claims. I brushed my Maine Coon outside and in a few short minutes, he'd lost about 1/3 of his bulk. He had been having problems with matting and now I can see why. I had been considering taking him to a groomer, but I decided to try this one last thing and now I'm thrilled that I don't have to put him through that. We are both thrilled!"

Worth the money
Date: February 12, 2008
"I was a little scared to pay so much for this brush, but I am sure glad I did! I have two short haired cats and I didn't think it would work as well on them as opposed to someone with a long haired cat.. I was wrong. I am amazed by how much hair this thing grabs! It makes me glad to know that all that fuzz is on the brush and not in my kittens' stomachs. Definitely worth the price tag."

WORKS WONDERS!
Date: February 6, 2008
"This item does a great job. I couldnt believe all the hair that came off of my cats body. Definitely worth the money. I have asthma and I noticed there is less hair on the furniture and the short-haired cat just loves it."

If you have cats - You need this tool!
Date: February 3, 2008
"I have 3 long haired cats in my house and have always used a regular brush on them, but still had hair everywhere! I saw this advertised one night on tv and went looking for it. I didn't buy it at first because of the price, but I went back time and time again every time I was at the store to look at it. My husband finally told me just to buy the dang thing. And I can't believe how much fur I had been missing all those years! They just LOVE to be brushed now!! All that excess fur just comes right off! I love it! If anyone out there has long hair cats you know all about the shedding, the hair mats, and hair balls. This really works! Try it - you will never use another brush again!"
