So the furminator I ordered off of Ebay finally arrived today and I felt like a kid at Christmas. We have been drowning in Gershwin's fur for a while now - it seems like he is losing his puppy coat at the same time he is losing his winter coat. When he gets up from lying down you can not see the floor from the fur covering it. I have been hoping that the furminator is as good as people say it is.
And the verdict? Five stars! I spent about 1/2 hour furminating Gershwin (see pics below) and could not believe he had that much fur left to come off, considering I was brushing him daily for the past month. My one session with the furminator got off more fur than the past thirty sessions with the stripping blade and other brush did! I took a picture of him after furminating and I don't know if you can see how slick his coat looks - it was looking very molty and patchy before, but now it looks like it did this past winter.
