FURminator Curry Comb Grooming Brush for Short and Medium Coats

I had doubts about this when I ordered it, BUT this is an awesome product. The concerns about the room for the fingers in the other reviews is not valid in my use of the item because it is designed for you to use your 2 middle fingers with a finger on each side of the device. Hair comes off the dog (short hair) like magic and easily extracted from the brush., I LOVE this item. It is much better than my previous brush.

Okay, I never leave reviews and I buy a lot of shit on Amazon. But this little thing just came about 30 minutes ago and I am procrastinating so I figured I’d brush the dog, expecting it to result the same as every other brush I’ve gotten for him; a lot of work, little reward, and my dog turns into a complete psycho. Well knock me out and steal my teeth, this thing works better than any grooming tool I’ve ever used for this type of coat. My mutt has a short mixed type coat and he sheds like his kibble supply depends on it, I tell you what. But no brushes ever work for him because they are all made for longer or super thick coats. I reckon I’m not the only one with a dog that goes absolutely freaking bananas when excited about a good scratch. Fisher, naturally, decided to roll in his hair pile and smash it into the carpet. Well I tell you what, that brush worked pretty dang well to pull the hair off the carpet so it doesn’t clog up the vacuum. Definitely an added bonus. It’s real easy to hold, shaped like a computer mouse with grips on the side. Doesn’t make your hand cramp up when you use it, and the hair just falls right out of it once it starts to build up. My dog really enjoyed it, it’s not too rough and scratchy on his skin. I’m going to try it in the back of my Jeep to pull out hair too. Lord knows there’s probably 100lbs of dog hair in the back of that old thing. There doesn’t seem really anything to break on this, but I’ll update this review if anything does. It made me buy two of them, minimum quantity to order, which I was a little butthurt about at first, but not anymore. Definitely worth buying two. I’ve paid a lot more than $7 for a brush for this dog, that didn’t even work a fraction as well.

I have been looking for a grooming tool for my recently-adopted APBT. He has super short hair with no undercoat. I have the original FURminator that I used on my Labrador Retriever that worked great on his thick coat, but it's too harsh to use on an APBT - like raking metal across skin - and it's just not really effective. I tried the glove with the rubber dogs all over it. Again, worked great on my Labrador, but wasn't really effective on my APBT. I saw this during Prime Days, and there was a review where a lady showed a photo of her Boxer/Pitbull mix with the curry comb beside him full of hair. I said, "HA! That's exactly what I'm looking for!" and ordered it. Well, I guess her Boxer/Pitbull mix must have a more dense coat than my dog, because it wasn't collecting hair in it like in her photo. It works, though! I still use it to brush my APBT, and it definitely gets the loose hairs off. But it does not collect the hair in the tool, so I have to do it outside so that the loose hair will just fall off on the ground. It does make his coat silky soft. I am a 5'10" woman with large hands for a woman (long fingers). I did not find holding it with my fingers under the strap to be comfortable nor did I find it provides for as much control. However, there are rubber grips on each side of the comb, so I just hold it that way - like I would my computer mouse - and it is easy to hold, grip, and control. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the fact that it does not collect the hair of an APBT & I didn't find putting my fingers under the strap to be comfortable. However, it does say it's for "dense" coats, so as long as you don't have a pitbull mix or a dog with just a short 1-layer coat, it will likely collect the hair. I am happy with my purchase. I use it on my dog every other day or so. No rough edges or hardness that's uncomfortable to my dog at all.

This little curry brush is okay but nothing like I had been lead to expect from reviews. Furminator brand always seems to have far better reviews that the actual products perform. This thing has a tiny, non-adjustable strap handle that doesn't really work well with a large sized hand. Not a deal breaker, since the shape of it makes it easier to grip without having to use the strap, but not ideal especially if you have arthritis as I do. The curry part is hard "rubber" ( I would actually consider this to be plastic, not rubber) and it really doesn't do much to grab loose hair, (as rubber or silicon would) which may be because I have single coated pugs and their fur is hard/slick rather than soft/puffy and while it loosens hair as I use it, it doesn't do anything to hold it for collection, so really I might as well not be using a brush at all. On the pro side, my slightly-difficult-to-brush dog will tolerate this curry, where he wouldn't let me touch him with a standard furminator. Also, it is reasonably priced and it was delivered promptly. That said, I will now go order an actual rubber curry brush, which is what I was shopping for before I saw this one, because I really need a grooming tool that 1) will loosen dead hair 2) will hold hair onto that hair until I can get it into a trash can, rather than on my floor, and 3) is soft enough that my dogs enjoy being brushed with it, rather than just tolerating it.

My 2 Labrador Retrievers actually tolerate this. With other brushes and deshedding tools, they let me get 2 strokes in and then their back muscles wrinkle and they run away. They've only responded well to an old '90s brush and to this curry comb. The comb gets a surprising amount of hair off of my dogs, especially the male with the plush coat! It works very quickly and leaves them looking lustrous! I have very small hands, even for a woman, so the comb fits me perfectly, but I know my dad's hands would absolutely not fit in the strap. However, I love that it's designed to be the shape of a computer mouse, so it fits in my hand nicely. Overall, this is one of the best grooming tools I've ever used, and my dogs actually let me brush them with it, so I'd say it's worth a try on dogs with shorter coats.

This is so good!!! I can finally get that undercoat out and my dog loves it. She’s a Pomeranian/chihuahua/rat terrier/lab mix, with short smooth coat. We’ve tried the brush with the little bent wires, it didn’t work and she didn’t like it. This tool is a breeze to use, I was so excited I even bought the Furminator shedding shampoo and that helped even more. We use the brush outside about once a week and that seems to keep the shedding down. I can’t wait to try it on my friends dogs, there’s something so satisfying about the hair coming out!

I have a pitbull and a doberman and have been searching for a good brush for their ultra-short hair; I purchased three brushes to test and compare- the FURminator curry, the FURminator Short Hair deShedding Tool for Medium Dogs , and the Untangler Grooma Groomer Brush (also Grooma Brush ). The FURminator curry was the worst, by far. As can be seen in the product image, the curry is designed with "nubs" in the center, and a tooth-type design around the edge. Although the description says it is made of rubber, as far as I can tell it is a hard plastic material, unlike the Grooma curry, which is made of firm rubber. My dogs seemed to find the FURminator curry uncomfortable, and unlike the rubber Grooma, the plastic of the FURminator did not grab the hair and help to remove it. In fact, after 20 minutes of brushing, almost no hair was removed. (I tried this brush first of the three, and the other two removed significant hair later the same day.) I did like the design countours of the brush, which made it easier and more comfortable to hold than the Grooma. However, the rubber strap across the back is small, and anyone with large hands would have trouble fitting their fingers in it. Although I wouldn't recommend the FURminator curry, I would highly recommend both the FURminator brush and the Grooma. (Please note, FURminator used to produce only one type of brush, and at that time didn't recommend them for pitbulls or other super short haired breeds, however they recently started producing different brushes for different coat lengths.) When testing those two brushes, they got approximately equal amounts of hair. The furminator brush required much less work, however the brush is very sharp, and one of my dogs hated the feeling. The Grooma required a firm brushing to get the hair, and could be difficult for someone with limited strength, but the same dog that hated the FURminator absolutely loved the Grooma. Update 2/11/12- Based on NewNoctum's recomendation I tried out the KONG ZoomGroom, Dog Grooming Toy, Boysenberry , and really liked it. It is just as effective as the Grooma, and the shape is a bit more comfortable to hold. The rubber feels slightly softer; it doesn't impact effectiveness, but at this point I can't comment on whether it will result in the brush wearing out faster or not. Would definitely recomend it over the FURminator curry.

This thing works good! My bulldog has been shedding like crazy because I can’t bathe her at the moment (I can’t lift her due to a broken leg), anyway it got so much hair off the first couple rounds then less and less came off! She sheds bad anyway because she’s a bulldog! Now her coat is soft soft. It brought out her natural oils and she’s less wiry. It roughed up the dry skin to loosen all the under coat hair.

AMAZING! 10/10 Was a little worried with some of the reviews. However, I am so impressed. I have a GSD mix with a very short dense coat. It’s been hard to find a good brush& deshedder. This thing is a combo of dreams! It brushes nicely while deshedding. It doesn’t cut the coat. 10/10

Disappointing. Does not help with deshedding my doggo

This is an amazing brush for Cat & Kitten Hair Grooming. Does the job beautifully without hurting the cats. i have two cats and both of them did not mind me brushing them with this. Loose hair got stuck into this comb which can be removed easily. Highly recommended for regular use.

Funciona muy bien retirando el pelo excedente y no lastima a las mascotas

Eine tolle Sache, um erstmal Staub Dreck und die losen Haare weg zu bürsten. Oder das tägliche Fellpflegeprogramm durchzuführen. Ich habe einen Hund mit Kurzem Haar mit Unterwolle und es bürstet so viele Haare aus, Wahnsinn. Ich würde es immer wieder kaufen. Obwohl es aus den U.S.A. geliert wurde, kam es super schnell an! Toll! Es liegt auch super in der Hand. In allem ein tolles Produkt. Ich habe auch den Furmibator Kamm. :)
