Fee Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Musky has now been furminated Sorry, I didn't do pictures, but I ended up with a HUGE carrier bag full of hair. I started to wonder if I was going to end up with a whippet after all by the time I'd finished He's all sleek and shiny and handsome now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasta Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I think I may have to get one of these. Where's the cheapest place to get them from? I've got large collie/lab sized dogs but was thinking a small one would be ok? I *may* be putting one in the auction... a medium one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobleronie Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I got mine today However it doesn't seem to have done that much for Beenzie I am being very gentle with it perhaps too gentle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rykat Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 So glad you started this thread cos I have been looking at getting one but because of cost I wanted to wait for some reviews! If it works for Dudly then I'm sure it'll work on a boxer and 4 rotts .... will have to wait for payday though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I just googled what a Furminator is. Genuine questions, albeit maybe a bit dense on my part... 1) How is it any different to using something like a zoom groom (rubber brush thingy)? 2) Would it be particularly effective on greyhounds? 3) Can it/should it be used on cats?

Fiona711 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 1) How is it any different to using something like a zoom groom (rubber brush thingy)? It is designed to go right through the coat and remove lose dead hair from the coat , i know as my dogs have a double coat and their undercoat is very dense it works really well for them , i have never used a zoom groom so i really dont know the difference sorry 2) Would it be particularly effective on greyhounds? I Dont have greyhounds but i am sure if worked well for a boxer it would do the same job on a Greyhound 3) Can it/should it be used on cats? I dont see any reason why i could not be used on a cat as long as you were gentle with it , I think it would depend on the coat , i know it works very well on Storm but i have not yet tried it on Akira whos coat is so much finer and softer than Storms . You might be better checking out their website and asking about cats though as i am no expert and have never owned a cat so really i have'nt been much help have i ? :laugh: Fiona xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thanks Fiona I think the dogs here aren't quite as bad as the cats. Their fur gets everywhere. I like gadgets so this could be another one for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Peachy I got mine for my very small old cat and it works really well, it got out a lot more hair than the ZoomGroom, although she didn't mind getting it done she didn't go all squdgy like she does with the ZG, tbh I felt I got more out of the dogs ( Staffies ) with the ZG but that might just be that they aren't moulting quite so much just now.
