Fido’s Beauty Secrets

The Furminator Deshedding Tool

There’s nothing worse than waking to a pillow covered in strands of your own hair.

Except maybe a comforter covered in clumps of your dog’s.

If Fido’s shedding problem is enough to send you to the loony bin (and him to the doghouse) it’s time to try the Furminator, an nifty deshedder that has changed the lives (and floors and carpets and couches) of many a happy dog owner.

Turns out the root of the issue isn’t what’s on top: It’s the hidden hair underneath that’s causing the mess. But salvation and your happiness may be a few products away. (If you had a dollar for every time you heard that … )

The Furminator’s easy process includes a deshedding solution to prep the undercoat (and any hair that’s on its way to breaking away), a drier that separates those strands from the rest of the coat, and a comb-like wand to remove the unwanted fuzz. No cutting necessary, and your pup will end up with a healthy topcoat that’s not going anywhere.

If only you could say the same for your noggin.
