CATNIP The Newsletter for Caring Cat Owners April 2005 Vol. 13 No. 4
In the April 2005 issue of CATNIP, the article, "Help for Hairballs", ranked the FURminator deShedding tool among the best in preventing hairballs in cats.
Your cat may be the only self-cleaning thing in your house, but there is a nasty result of that convenience: when your cat ingests the loose hair it licks off itself and vomits it back up as a hairball in a typically inconvenient place in your home.
Cats spend a lot of time licking loose hair from their coats. And unfortunately your cat lacks the ability to spit out this fur, so he swallows it. The hair gradually makes its way through the digestive tract, winding into a tight little tube. If it is too large to fit through the pyloric sphincter (the passage way into the small intestine from the stomach), the cat has to puke it up onto the floor.
Your first inclination, after stepping onto a wet, nasty hair ball, might be to give your cat a hair ball remedy. However, ingestable hairball treatments have not received any scientific evaluation, none have been proven to work. Veterinarians will tell you that the best way to control hairballs is to prevent your cat from ingesting the hair in the first place.
This is what Tufts University had to say about the FURminator deShedding tool: "Since prevention is the best cure, take a close look at the FURminator deShedding tool. FURminator received paws up from the test cats. This patented tool utilizes a unique blade that removes dead undercoat and loose hair while leaving the topcoat alone. It features a 1 1/3-inch wide blade with fine 1/8-inch teeth. This tool removes an amazing amount of fur easily. FURminator's soft ergonomically-designed gripping ridges make it comfortable to hold. Some test cats who normally don't enjoy being brushed, tolerated the FURminator for a much longer period. Some even purred. This tool's short teeth avoid the risk of scratching sensitive feline skin."

I am sure this will really help lessen her hairball problem. She doesn't seem to mind it and I really am amazed at how fast it is. Thank you for such a great product!"
The start is that I found and "fell in love" the item, Furminator, and want to show it to many DOGGY-owner like me, want to shout "JUST SEE! LOOK! WATCH!" being excited.
And want to see the surprised face like my family and friends Y Y Tokyo, Japan
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know I received my
Furminator today and put it right to use on my Golden Retriever, Golden
Retriever/Chesapeake mix, and my Pug. In the past, I've used a coat rake on
my big dogs and it worked great, however, I always felt that the job was
never finished. Not so with the Furminator! On my Pug, I could never find
a grooming tool that worked well on her undercoat and one that my Pug was
comfortable with as many brushes/tools I've tried hurt her skin or pull her
hair. She thoroughly enjoyed her first Furminator session and it was
effective in getting the loose hair out. The fact that I can now do
EFFECTIVE grooming and it's COMFORTABLE and ENJOYABLE for my dogs is
significantly important to me. Thank you too for your efficient shipment! A.P.
"My neighbors need the Furminator because of allergies, also. I had told them about it. They helped me when I was away by taking care of my cats. I want to give them a Furminator to use on their cat and "part time grandparent to dog" situation. Thank you so much for producing such a much needed tool so that we animal lovers can eliminate much of the problems brought about by our pets."
"I bought your product recently and it is fantastic! Our 7 year-old medium length cat has always had a problem with hair balls, even with constant brushing. She spent a week at the vet last October for this reason."
Nothing compares to how much hair the Furminator can get out. With or without the solution it works great. I used it on a Basset Hound yesterday, I wish I would have had my camera. Better than all the Coat Kings combined and it does NOT cut the hair, just pulls out the dead hair. Shelly GroomerTALK Message Board
Since moving to Houston, TX, his new groomer suggested the Shed-Less Treatment. I thought it was a bit pricey and I was very skeptical that it would actually work. In desperation, I tried it. To my surprise it did actually work! I have made it a regular grooming practice now for the past six months and vacuum only on a more "regular" basis. Our family can now enjoy our dog without seeing hair everywhere and he's been happier too. Sincerely, Carol Lantz
