Recommend this review there is some useful information
First of all I want to address the single star reviews making a claim these are counterfeit. Back in 2016 when my home burned down I was displaced at a hotel for several months where I lived that commonly held corporate meetings and conventions. While visiting I met a gal named Angie Porter who saw me with my service dog an 80lb white Siberian husky. She fell in love with my dog and immediately introduced herself and kindly asked to let him knowing he was a service dog. During this time and her stay my family had gotten to know her and learned about a product they invented. A new dog brush. An amazing dog brush that actually works, it doesn’t clog like every other brush and it seriously removes hair at an alarming rate. This brush was known as the Furninator a name she announced when she gave me a medium sized brush free of charge knowing my families situation (we had nothing at the time it burned in the fire) and showed me how to use the brush properly. Oh yes there is a proper way to use these brushes so you avoid injury if your dog and remove hair the proper way. Obviously you don’t want to go against the lure of hair but there is still a technique to be used. I suggest a google search or some practice time before you leave a bad mark. Over the past few years I lost that brush and needed a replacement. Upon looking up Angie her husband and self sold the company so they no longer manufacturer these brushes. I had wished all the time I had the large brush my dog is big. Anyways knowing this is a new company that now owns furminator I decided to order the large here from Amazon and I have to say..., it is the same great brush and works fantastic. After brushing my hisky today we were able to fill a 5 gallon bucket full of dog hair.., that’s how much hair had built up in the past year while using competitor brushes. They just don’t work well. He loves it.., he was rolling over, switching around, kissing me, and loving every minute of his brushing session. It took a mere 10 minutes to brush him while I had an assistant with a vacuum sucking up the loose piles to prevent them from floating around the house. This was and is a great invention in the pet industry and deserves all 5 stars. There isn’t a better product on the market so to not give it 5 stars is foolishness. The use of an assurance and a vacuum for a long haired pet is suggested and I also suggest getting the largest brush your comfortable with and perhaps the two largest sizes you would use. The larger you get the reduction in brush time. The size of your pet can dictate this size so you could go large and a medium or small, etc..., for those tighter places, by the ears, under the arms, around the buttons. And so on. I hope you enjoyed my brief history and found this review useful. If so would you please mark it helpful so other me can also see it take priority in the review header. It is important that as a user of the furninator that you care for it, store it properly, and use it properly and you and your loved one will get years of enjoyment until they dig a hole in the yard and bury it. :-)
