In the midst of shedding season last Spring, someone must have felt sorry for me (I resembled a walking pile of loose hair) in my attempt to rid 'Shiloh' of his excess coat.

A new gadget was placed in my hand and a kind voice tempted me "just try it". I was ever-so-skeptical...especially when I heard how much it cost ($50+). However, it took me about 3 strokes to realize that I cannot live without it! I bought this unpretentious looking piece of metal, and never once regretted that "big" investment.

The FURminator rules!! It glides effortlessly over large swaths of clumpy hair...and Voila! A lovely, short, shiny coat is revealed! It is a hoot!!
Thanks for letting me give a shout-out for this dandy addition to my grooming tools.
