HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE – FURminator

GIFT IDEA – FURMINATOR

I have been doing my own pet grooming for years. I can’t tell you exactly how many cats and dogs I have bathed, brushed, and clipped over the years. But my long-haired Himalayan’s coat has always been a problem. Nothing has worked up to not to prevent mats. Only constant grooming does that and my BJ Jr. does not want to be combed.

When I was asked to try the FURminator cat deshedding tool, my initial reaction was, “What can I lose?” I know the answer now. It is half my catful of dead undercoat and loose hair, a source of many allergy problems with me.

Kitty was not very cooperative so it took more time to finish the job. When I finished BJ’s black hair shined. As I petted my good boy, i could not help but notice how smooth his fur was. Did his coat ever look beautiful, and without any cuts!

The FURminator for Cats is a grooming must for do-it-yourselfers like me. Its comfortable, ergonomic grip is easy to hold. Its edge 1.75 inches long, is great for the body and tummy and the perfect size for legs and tail. It lists for $29.99.
