FURminator Dog-and-Cat deShedding Solution, 16 Ounces Reviews

• Just another conditioner

  
  By A33JOCMYU7M4L5 on 2007-04-08
  After investing in the FURminator De-Shedding Tool (which was the best $50 I've ever spent), I was expecting similar miracles from this "deShedding" Solution. However, after receiving it and reading the ingredients, it is apparent that this is just a very good conditioner. It contains many of the same ingredients you would find in a very good salon product for humans, but nothing special that will help with the shedding problem. So 3 stars for being a good conditioning product, but I held back 2 more stars, because it won't affect the amount of hair that comes off my dog.
  
  

• My poochies ought to be bald, this stuff is GREAT!

  I have a Jack Russell Terrier and a Rat Terrier. Both have that short wiry hair that sticks to EVERYTHING, and they make little hair cobwebs throughout our home as well. Brushing wasn't working, frequent washing wasn't working. It was too expensive to buy this furminator treatment and have both dogs groomed too. I was at my wit's end.
  
  I purchased the small blue Furminator tool with 1.7 inch blade along with the Furminator Shampoo and Furminator Solution. I washed both dogs with the shampoo for 5 minutes each as directed. The shampoo smells like Pina Coladas which made the Rat Terrier lick-this is bad as soap does upset dog tummies. But a TON of hair came off of both dogs after the shampoo, about a fist-full each. Next, I slathered them up with the solution, which smells like roses or some other floral scent and left that on for 5 minutes. Again, another fistfull of hair came out with the rinse! I allowed both dogs a couple of hours to dry all the way, then came back and used this tool. The Rat Terrier wouldn't go for it, he hates all brushes. But the Jack Russell Terrier loves being brushed and let me go over her whole body except the sensitive areas with the tool. And let me tell you, I got a wad of superfine undercoat fur the size of her head off of that dog. And the only hair she's leaving around the house is hair that was already all over the place prior to the Furminator treatment. I don't get hair flying off her when petting her anymore, and even the Rat Terrier that wouldn't let me use the tool on him is still not putting out a lot of shedding.
  
  I would highly recommend the Furminator products. They are expensive and somewhat time consuming to use, but they work as advertised.
  
  
  

• Hairballs Beware!

  This is an amazing product! After shampooing my border collie mix, I applied this product and I was absolutely AMAZED at the amount of hair that she lost! This practically eliminated the hairballs on my hardwood floors! I definitely recommend if you have a dog that sheds a lot.
  
  

• Good Tool

  I haven't tried the Shampoo, but I have used the FURminator comb on my long-haired Dachshund. The tool gets out an amazing amount of undercoat, great to use in the spring time when my dog starts loosing all his winter coat. I highly recomend that you use it OUTDOORS!! The first time I used it inside and had to vaccuume up all the fur that came off him. Also, be sure to wear a shirt that you don't mind getting furry, again... lots and lots of undercoat comes off with this product.
  
  

• deshedding *solution only*

  
  By A1YOMJEEU7GEOR on 2007-10-14
  I didn't try the shampoo, so this review is for the "solution" only. let me cut to the chase: 1.) it's very thick and hard to spread, 2.) leaves a gummy film on my dogs coat, and 3.) doesn't do much "deshedding". I had previously used a tropiclean desheding shampoo and solution that a friend (pro pet groomer) gave me to try and it worked fantastically; nice soft coat & much less shedding afterwards. since that product is available to groomers only I decided to give this a try what a mistake! so now I have a whole bottle of this sitting on my counter that I'll never use.

  good product just make sure you have the special brush or it doesn't do much. But I do have the brush . So will continue to order this product
  
  
• Helped with extreme matting
  By A2BTFHD4KD5UU6 on 2007-10-28
  Used this product along with furminator comb. Together it took care of some matting problem with my cat. It is pricey and I am uncertain if it did a better job than less expensive brands...but it did work.
