FURminator Grooming Rake Tool for Dogs & Cats With Thick Coats

Best dog grooming rake! We have a whole box of grooming tools for our long hair husky and this one is the standout. We can get many brushes in before needing to remove the fur from the bristles. It’s easy to clean off and the hairy husky seems to tolerate this one the best. We notice a lot less loose hair after brushing him - which is a nice change from fur tumbleweeds throughout the house.

I can’t recommend the FURminator enough! It really helps to removed the undercoat, and dead hair reducing shedding. Good for mats if you insert just one point of the comb in the mat and keep working it. I rarely ever have to cut a mat from my curly, thick haired cocker spaniel. It keeps the coat mat free and shiny. Buy two!

This brush works INCREDIBLY well on my currently raggedy German Shepherd! She has been blowing her undercoat, and looks an absolute hot mess, with large tufts of fur loosening up and showing all over her body (worst around her back legs, booty, and neck ruff area). She also, for whatever reason, is a total weirdo about me doing anything to try to help her through this process. If you grab a tuft, she'll growl and also run away, as though it hurts her. or like you're stealing her most precious resources! I KNOW that just pulling out the tufts by hand can't actually hurt her. They're sticking out farther than the rest of her coat because they've already been shed, and just have difficulty falling completely away because they get tangled up with the rest of her coat. I've purchased the much more expensive Furminator brush in the past, which she HATED. There has been a bit of a revolving line of various brush types that have been tried and ultimately failed in our household. Saddle brushes, curry brushes, self-cleaning brushes, undercoat rakes, etc. etc. They have been either ineffective, or just difficult to use, because she seems to hate the feel of them and tries to struggle away. This brush was so cheaply priced that I was willing to at least give it a shot. When I first opened up the packaging, my other dog happened to be closest to me so I swiped down his back just for giggles. I was AMAZED at how much hair came off on that one swipe! He also has an undercoat, but his hair overall is much shorter, so it's not nearly as obvious when he is blowing it. This was a great unexpected bonus, because some of the heavy duty brushes designed for undercoat grooming seem to be uncomfortable for him - the metal is sharp and he doesn't have a big poufy coat to cushion it at all. Anyway, back to the German Shepherd. I brushed her down for maybe 10-15 minutes, focusing harder on the areas where she had the most obvious shedding. No exaggeration - I filled a Walmart bag with floof in short order! She tolerated the brushing, and only growled/groaned a couple of times when I worked on some tangled areas. This was the most painless de-shedding session that we have ever done with her, and definitely also the easiest and most effective as well! Given a few more days of 10-15 minute sessions, I think she'll be pretty much good to go! Apologies for the grody picture but I wanted y'all to see that, no exaggeration, I really did fill an entire shopping bag in just a few short minutes of brushing her out!

It's quite a nice brush. Comfortable handle and feels well-made. The tines were a little bit dented so it wasn't a straight line, but it honestly worked just fine. My golden retriever tolerates it for detangling mats and seems to actually enjoy it as a tummy brush. It did seem to get out a lot of her undercoat shedding. I'll add it to her regular brushing routine, but it's not a tool to get everything out at once.

This is a pretty good dog comb. I have a female Australian Shepherd, and she sheds like absolute crazy. He hair is super long and thick as well. She is very skittish and wild when it comes to grooming, and freaks out with every brush and comb I've used on her. However, so far, ive had some luck with this particular comb by FURminator. While she is still wild, and hypersensitive about it, I have managed to brush out her coat, and remove a lot of loose hair with this one, as opposed to others. The rake is super easy to hold onto with its ample sized handle and built in grips and rubbery material to prevent it from slipping out of your hand. The rake comb pieces are not sharp, so they won't accidentally hurt your dog. The teeth are long enough to penetrate through thick long coats, not just shorter ones. And the width if the teeth is wide enough to cover larger areas along their back, for example, but not so wide that its too difficult to properly comb tighter or smaller areas. Its also big enough for bigger dogs, and still adequate for combing small dogs too. I am happy with this rake/comb, and the affordable price is an added bonus. Good buy.

This is the brush to add to my grooming arsenal for my Husky that I didn't know I needed. I have a regular furminator for deshedding, a slicker brush, a dual sided pet "Wet Brush" for small maintenace brushing, and I even did have a grooming rake of another brand and it was actually the brush I used the least because it seemed like it didn't do much! I kept reading all these articles and reviews for best brushes for dual coated dog grooming, and Siberian Huskies in particular and this one kept getting mentioned so I figured for the price I had to try it. I felt like my Husky was groomed pretty well and looked pretty good; she had her bath, blow out, a few good brushing sessions, and you didn't see any of those pluckable hair tufts and then when I started brushing her with this rake I was shocked how much hair I was getting. It gets down deeper to that undercoat really well without pulling and you can't overdo it like a traditional furminator. Aside from getting all the hair, it leaves my Husky's fur looking very smooth and sleek without looking like someone took a rake in sand like some comb-style brushes do. This rake's teeth are long enough and set far enough apart to be more than efficient for dual coated dogs, I guess I just had a crappy one before thinking that they didn't do much. My dad has a Husky as well and I had to show him the magic of this brush on his and now he wants one too! I definitely recommend this to anyone with a dual coated dog.

[Picture of our golden's back leg/hind quarters to compare left side after one session with this tool.] Holy smokies, this Furminator tool is AMAZING! We had the old version with the flat, close-in pins (for long-haired dogs), and while it worked, our dog wanted nothing to do with it. I broke this out of the packaging, let him sniff it, went to work on his coat, and was immediately impressed by how well this worked--without needing to add pressure or tug at tangles! *PROS: - Easy to use (again, without adding pressure) - The "rotating" pins really seemed to help move tool smoothly through the coat (no catching and pulling hair to cause discomfort) - Works on mats and smaller tangles with little effort (might have to start at the bottom for the bigger ones) - Pins are long enough to get through our golden's coat and massage his skin - Rounded pin tips prevented discomfort from scrapes and scratches - One tool does it all for us! Brushing, massage, deshedding... *BONUS: He was wagging his tail and staying still while I went to work, even when I attacked his neck/chest beard and ears! I collected handful after handful of undercoat after what I considered a long and successful brushing just 2-3 days earlier. *CON: The tool helped loosen the hair so well that small clumps of undercoat would literally fly into the air (rather than bunch up *on him* at the end of my stroke, as happened when using other brushes/combs). I think I got even more hair on me than usual (and my black pants--because aren't goldens only supposed to be brushed when you're wearing dark colors? 😜), but I'm okay with this. What we tried before: - wire slicker brush: Worked well, especially with any matted hair, but he really didn't like the wire bristles. Great with tangles, but I'd have to be really careful not to apply too much pressure or I could scratch or puncture him (or myself). - Furminator rake: With this tool (got one specifically for long-haired dogs), I never really got why Furminator was so positively regarded. For the most part it just semed to catch and *pull* at his hair (the pins were so closely set!). I had to apply extra pressure to get to the undercoat, which doggo didn't like (it could/would scrape his skin), but it got the job done. Overall it was too cumbersome to use regularly, but I kept it in an attempt to be a responsible golden retriever dog owner (even if I didn't use it). - combo plastic bristle + pin brush: This was our go-to tool (until now, heh heh heh!). Our doggo liked/tolerated this one well. Any increased pressure made the pins massage his skin harder (without causing discomfort), while the bristles caught the loose hairs/undercoat. Unfortunately, it did NOT do well with mats or any small knots/tangles, so I'd break out the wire slicker (above) for those sessions.

Amazing results on my mini Aussies coat! I quickly removed buckets of excess fur and she didnt seem to mind at all!

So thrilled I found a Furminator product at an affordable price - this rake is perfect for undoing tangles and cleaning up undercoat.

Súper buen producto, no lastima a las mascotas y hasta a le pude quitar mi perrita unos nudos que tenía en su pelo.
