FURminator Large — 

I couldn't believe the amount of hair that came off my 4 cats with the small furminator.  Although none of them love it, they tolerate the brushing and a little time goes a very long way.  I swear the thing saved my oldest cat's life.  Although I brushed him regularly with a soft brush, when I started using the Furminator he was "touchy" about a spot on his side.  Upon inspection, I found a tiny lump--smaller than a pea.  It was a cancerous tumor but we got it so early, his prognosis is good.  I've recommended the brush to everyone I know and I even take it to the animal shelter where I volunteer and spread the the joy with the shelter cats!

Please be aware that I have consulted with professional groomers, and while this tool is super great for the frustrated pet owner coping with copious amounts of shedding, if you have animals that you are going to show, be most careful, because the tool does damage the coat in subtle ways-a professional groomer and a good conformation judge will be able to spot the breakage and splitting of the coarser outer coat right away and penalize your pet accordingly. The outer coat is the less prolific of the two, so it may be months before it is back in proper condition. The product is great, but not for all applications-and some breeds experience greater coat damage than others-check with a groomer for specifics
