Anyone else have this excellent grooming tool? Pauline from Thorneywood Cat Rescue told me about this a few months ago and thought I would try it as she rates it. With running a rescue and having several pets of my own, even though short haired they are still groomed.
The furminator is a tool designed to groom out the dead under coat and strip it out, especialy good in moulting seasons like now, and if your lots anything like mine, this years moulting is the worst! Even my short haired male staff is moulting crazy!
I groom them all every day and generaly use a tangle comb and a standard brush, which I always thought was good! Then I used the furminator which I use every week or so now. OMG I was stunned at the amount of under coat and dead fur that came out, leaving their coats silky soft, lush and shinier!
Here is the only grooming brushes and combs I use now. The comb is for de matting and knotting, the pink standard brush for every day brushing and the furminator for stripping dead under coats out and conditioning:
Here is a video of me doing two of my buns today. I didnt include Dreama's as she has a different coat to my boys and nothing harldy came out. You can see the amount of fur its taking out which is all the dead lose under coat. I did the rabbits, the cats and the dogs today and filled half a black bin bag almost! Once you have done this they hardly moult as much if at all because your removing it for them.
Please excuse the state of me, I look a scruff most days as working hands on with animals
