Win A FURminator Contest!
Horst Hoefinger

There’s a great deShedding product on the market, the FURminator. This and the RapidBath, you may remember from our You’re A Very Dirty Dog contest, are two of my favorite products.  I use the FURminator at least every other day, it’s a must have with three large dogs.

When I was contacted by a representative of FURminator about a giveaway I jumped at the chance.  We’re giving away one medium size FURminator, good for medium size dog and cats (medium size cats?).

FURminator Inc. manufactures products to address the number one complaint of pet owners, SHEDDING. We also love our pets and understand the frustration fellow pet lovers feel with the problems of shedding. The embarrassment of hair all over the house when guests come to visit. The endless vacuuming and cleaning. The constant checking and wiping of their hair off our clothes.

The FURminator reduces shedding up to 90 percent by removing the loose, dead undercoat without damaging the topcoat.

  • Brings out the pet’s natural oils, promoting healthier skin and a shiny topcoat.
  • Guaranteed to reduce shedding better than any brush, comb or rake.
  • Works great on all shedding, long and short-haired dogs and cats.
  • Guaranteed to reduce shedding better than any brush, comb or rake.
  • As you can see from our boy Logan, pictured above, this product really works. If you go to their site you can see photos of other dogs that were Furminated, as well as a video demo of the product.

    They also have a line of deShedding products: shampoos, conditioners, supplements, and treats.  The treats  help reduce excessive shedding by promoting healthy skin and coat, our dogs love them.

    The contest will run today through Friday, December 19th.  To enter leave a comment, in the comment section, why you would like to win a FURminator.  One winner will be chosen at random, good luck.

    2. Emily

      Please enter me and my two furry kids in this contest! (Nobody told us that short/coarse haired dogs shed more than long-hairs!) We REALLY NEED THIS PRODUCT!!!

    3. carole

      I have 22 furkids and do I need this thing!!!

    4. Manny

      Dad often grooms the dogs at the adoption stand. He uses his own Furminator, but is always afraid it will grow legs and not be found…

    5. Chris

      I definately need one of these. I never knew a short coated dog could shed sooo much!!!

    6. Champ&Pugsly

      Spent $50 on a furminator and it got lost a week later! Got a heavy shedding Pug and Golden Retriever!

    7. roxy

      Mom is tired of waking up with my hair in her mouth!
      BOL!

      I REALLY need a furminator.

    8. Angie Winn

      Please enter me in the Furminator contest!! I have a very hairy Pembroke Welsh Corgi!

    9. Bruno

      I really need one. You should see the backseat of my mommy’s car.

    10. Roswell

      Have you ever lived with a German Shepherd, BOL? :) Roswell’s one furry, loveable boy and he has a tendency to leave some hairy gifts on anyone he leans against. I’m sure the Furminator could really help out the situation!

    11. http://www.dogster.com/dogs/693930

      HELP US!!! We always have between 7-10 doggies with our own and fosters and we have hairy tumbleweeds rolling around our house!!!

    12. Stephanie

      I need this.. I never thought a boxer/doberman and a cocker spaniel and chihuahua shed so much I am tired of sitting anywhere and finding hair there right after I brushed them.. I need this so bad Please enter me..

    13. Debra & the Hungry Puppies...

      That’s us up there with the Hairy tumble weeds!

    14. lozeerose

      We have this product at home and believe me it works. You pull so much fur you are tempted to keep going and going and going…especially with my beagle/basset/dachsund mix. Her fur is short (not chihuahua short) and she releases more than our lab who has a longer coat…amazing!

    15. Cathy Mota

      I never thought living with a Boxer/German shepherd would be this bad..I sit down on my couch and stand up with a whole handful of hair it terrible.. I cant take a nap without risking i might wake up with dog hair in my mouth or all over me.. I really need this.. Please enter me and help me!

    16. kasha

      i love the furminator

      i have 5 pomeranians….. and this product is awesome

      i love it

    17. Bear's mom

      We need the furminator! I have two dogs a lab mix and a pit bull terrier. Who knew that the short hair dogs shed so much! Bear is dark haired and Babby Girl is light so my rug and couch look like they have a black and tan patterns. Help!

    18. Jennifer

      I would like to win this because I would like to donate it to a rescue in our area.

    19. Cooper

      Hi there!

      Even though I am a Great Dane, I do some shedding. Not as much as some doggies, but we do need to “blow” our coats. The Furminator sure would help in keeping me really handsome for all of my friends!

      Thanks!

      Cooper

    20. Michele at Daily Dog Lick

      I’ve been thinking of getting one for a while for my medium-sized dog. He looks like a mini Golden Retriever, but may be all or part Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retreiver. He sheds a lot and tolerates brushing but doesn’t enjoy it like my German Shepherd mix does (he even likes to be brushed with the rubber bristle broom!). I’d love to find a brush that would make brushing a treat for him and help him be cooler in the summer.

    21. Su

      I love the Furminator! My neighbors recently purchased one and they totally sold me on it. I have 2 dogs & 2 cats who would definitely put the Furminator to good use!

    22. The Sings

      We just replaced our year old carpets with hardwood. When we pulled those carpets up, you should have seen the hairy horror! I thought I kept my house pretty clean… and taking a sticky roller with us in every vehicle/ purse/ overnight bag is just another day in the life of a multi-pet owner… but OMG those floors were NASTY! I tried to get my husband to factor the cost of the Furminator into our home remodeling budget, but to no avail. We have 2 dogs (one long, one short haired, both shed like it’s going out of style!) and 3 cats, one of which is in fact MEDIUM, she’s huge! :) So, all this to say, please enter me in the contest!

    23. The Sings

      P.S. Logan is a very handsome guy!

    24. Jodi

      I keep looking at these and wondering if they work. My American Eskimo Dog could really use this!!!

    25. Chloe Chanel

      I would love to win this for my dad and step mom. They have 2 dogs who shed and she is ill and can’t always get everything. My grandmother lives with them and has a bad medical condition also. I think this would be a perfect christmas gift for them. I have told them about this and they would def. put it to very very good use.

    26. Jessica

      Please Pick Me for the Furminator. My two furkids are both Beagle Mixes with ALOT of hair to shed all over the house! We would love to have this product!

    27. SkyeBleu

      We need one badly at this house because my Mommy does rescues and the house is full of furballs. Mommy sweeps up what looks like could be made into another dog every single day. It’s hard on Mommy to do that due to her health but she loves all of us so much. So please send her one.

      Woof, meow, crow, chirp, splash,hop, popcorn, thank-you.

    28. Princess

      I have an American Eskimo, and she desperately
      needs the Furminator. I have to carry a mini lint
      brush in my pocket book, because when I get into the car I always seem to get her fur on my clothes just before I get to work. I know the Furminator will eliminate this extra chore, to say the least about the
      endless vacuuming of floors and furniture, and my
      company complaining about her fur.

    29. PAULA

      This would be great at my house. I have 4 labs and foster for a local rescue, so there are always dogs that need to be Furminated. I would seriously wear it out at my house!!!!!

    30. Kubbi

      Ohh i would luv a furminator! My kubbi is 13 and minds the heat terribly. The Furminator would help keep the dead hair off & keep him comfy.

    31. Chris

      My house is full of fur . With 2 dogs, one of which is a cocker spaniel, and 3 kitties, the Furminator would be a godsend. I try to keep on top of the fur balls that collect in the corners, and the haze that collects on the furniture , but I’ve heard great things about the Furminator and I could once again leave the house without fur clinging to my clothes. Yes I let my pets on the furniture – I don’t practice good alfa behavior I’m afraid and my pets walk all over me. All but 1 were rescues and I don’t have the heart to make them stay on the floor.

    32. Katy

      People often assume that because American Bulldogs have such short hair that they don’t shed. WELL.. I beg to differ. I have Crunch lovin’s on everything what I need is a lint roller that hangs from my key chain. HE SHEDS MORE THAN THE CAT! No chances that they also make a DROOLminator??

    33. Corina

      Every time I sweep the floors (and they get swept 2-3 days a week), I find enough fur to make another dog! We love our “Shelby” girl, but not her fur puppies…. :-)

    34. Jessica P

      I would love to try this out on my puggle and maybe reduce some of those sassy puggle hairs embeded in all my furniture!

    35. Kay

      I’d really love to have a furminator of my own!

    36. Jenn

      I have a pug/chihuahua mix and two cats it is so embarassing when people come over and wear dark colored clothes and sit on my furniture or one of the animals sits on them. They stand up and they are covered with hair. I usually have 3 or 4 lint rollers on hand to try to clean them up. I think that a Furminator would REALLY help.
      Thanks

    37. Michelle

      Enter me in the contest please. I have a German Shepard that sheds like nobody’s business to the tune of a brown paper bag every time. This would come in handy.

    38. Wanda

      I have two German Shepherds that live in the house with me. Plus, I work with a German Shepherd Rescue. This thing would help us so much. I have ate more hair in my life than pasta…LOL If you know anything about Shepherds they are such heavy shedders. This would help our rescue so much. Not to mention our homes and diet.

    39. Cindy

      put me on the list of entrants!

    40. Turlington

      Please enter me in the contest. My mom has a lot of breathing problems, and my pug-mix and McNab shed an unbelievable amount of fur which just makes the problems worse. They are my mom’s babies though, and a FURminator would really help out so we don’t have to constantly brush them. (which they hate.)

    41. Lily & Skye

      we are very furry huskies…when our Mom leaves for work in the morning, her black clothes are always furry white! Need this product!

    42. Diana

      Count me in on the contest. I was just told by a groomer at PetSmart that the Furminator is the best grooming tool ever. EVER?! They’re a bit expensive for me, so I’d love to win one!

    43. Kim

      My dog sheds all over my car! I need help to control it, please!

    44. libbet

      in our house, the standard joke is “we sweep up a new dog every day”. the sheer volumn of hair our two girls lose every day is astounding! we should definitely win the fur-minator!

    45. Ash

      I would love to have a Furminator for Spunky, my handsome husky/shepherd/chow mix. He sheds more than any dog I’ve ever met and his undercoat never ends. Not to mention I have 3 cats who shed up a storm too.

    46. Amy

      Please enter me in your contest. My darling furbaby, Tipper, is a Dalmatian. I’d love to have a Furminator because if I don’t brush her, my clothes have lot’s of “Tipper fur”, and I can’t “win”…if I wear white, her black fur shows, if I wear black, her white fur shows. HELP! ;)

    47. Nikki

      I would love to win a FURminator. It would be a great addition to our household – we have a husky/shepard/chow mix with the thickest fur I have ever felt in a dog. This means that there is a constant shedding problem. We vacuum all the time because of the flying fur and my allergies have gotten worse because of it. The FURminator would be saving us a lot of problems – both cleaning and health-wise.

    48. emily

      we have 2 mutts a beagle and a lab in our house. When I rescued the mutts I really wanted short haired dogs and I’m a sucker for personality. They are chow lab shepards. Super nappy. When we do the monthly bath we an literally fill half a city garbage can. We live in a Huge loft on hollywood blvd with no yard so the living room is the yard (for playing not pooping) the drifts every week are unreal. We want to have fundriaising parties for our non profit at the house but we want to be cooking not vacuming at the last minute when the fancy folks are coming over and we don’t want our dogs hemoraging hair when they decide they want to pet them. We really need a furminator for our nappy dogs.

    49. Rachel and the pack

      I have a White German Shepherd & A Jack Russell..Lord help me! They both shed like crazy and it gets very tiring to continuously brush them vigorously throughout the day. I can’t even begin to imagine it would be as simple as a few gentle swipes across the coat, but that’s what I’ve been told. I’ve just never had the money to buy one!

    50. Casey's One

      Nothing would beat a Furminator. Please enter the world’s greatest shedder to the contest!!

    51. Karen

      I could use the Furminator as we have foster Bulldogs come through our house quite often and many of them are in pretty bad shape. I can see them now, pretty/handsome as could be because they were groomed with the Furminator. This might even help them be adopted faster…………….

    52. I-H-B-K

      We would love to win one of these nifty little brushes! Mama takes us to work with her everyday. Not literally but at least our hairs go to work with her. She finds our hairs all throughtout the day in her work area. It does NOT make her happy!
      Please help us help her!

    53. Janice Flores

      Mom has wanted a Furminator for over a year now, but with 4 dogs the money always seemed to be needed for something else. Dogters, medicine, groomers,food,etc.
      Wearing dog hair to work has become the norm but is sure would be nice to leave the house in hair free clothes for a change!
      The Furminator was the #1 request on Mommys Christmas wish list:)

    54. Marge

      Would love to have a Furminator – hate cleaning up after the dog everyday.

    55. Grace

      Please enter me in the furminator contest as I have 3 shedding lab mixes & can certainly try something new to resolve all this HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Thanks!!!!!

    56. Judi Misere

      The fuminator sounds like a dream. We have two cats and a dog that never stop shedding or wanting to be on the couch with us. How do you say no to those cute little mugs? But they leave their mark- hair, hair,hair! Please enter me in the contest for one!

    57. Sandi Thompson

      I would love to win a FURminator. I have a German Shepherd who sheds so heavily that I really should vacuum the carpet everyday. However, I am disabled and cannot do it as often as I would like. Winning a FURminator would be a real blessing!

    58. Clarinda

      My Harley is a four-legged, 90 lb, furry-haired eating machine! Part Chow and long haired shephard, he’s all hair. He probably wouldn’t weigh that much if I could ever get all the furr of him! HELP!

    59. MICHELLE DOUCETTE

      We recently added an addition to our family and her name is Alexis and she is a boxer. I do have allergies with her but I love her already and will not get rid of her so I want to try the furminator on her to see is it will help with her dander. We have a schnauzer but he doesn’t shed so therefore I am not allergic to him. Please help.Mihcelle

    60. Jacks Mommie

      From what I’ve read about these things It just seems like the FURminator and golden retreivers go together likes peas in a pod. maybe we’ll get lucky and get to eat christmas dinner without the side of fur. BOL.

    61. AZUCENA

      PLEASE EVERYTIME I SEE DOGS WHO DONT SHED I WANT TO ADOPTED THEM!!! I HAVE A YELLOW LAB PLEASE YOU DONT HAVE ANY IDEA OF OUR SORROW!!!THANKS!!!

    62. Darby

      I’m a Corgi….need i say more ;)

    63. maura

      we really need this!! We have to put our poor dinga outside because when she comes inside she jumps on the couch. When she gets off she leaves a handful of hair!!
      We have tried EVERYTHING!! And nothing seem to work! :( Dinga is a German Shepherd/dingo and we really do need this!!!
      As you may now German Shepherds and dingos shed alot!!!
      So please!! let us experience the FURMINATER!!!
      I hope this will help us keep my dinga inside without having to worry about her shedding.:)
      thank you and happy holidays,
      Maura

    64. Carla (Jasper and Jasmine)

      We need a furminator because we get hair in the “big bed”. Mama has to use a roller on the bed every morning when she makes it up. Our aunt has one and she really likes it so we can’t let her upstage us.

    65. Harley

      My human always tells me how pretty I am, but her sure does spend a lot of time picking clumps of my hair. I know he’d love a Furminator – mabey then he wouldn’t have to run the big scary monster (I think he calls it a “vacuum cleaner” or something) anymore!

    66. Chrystal

      I have four labrador retrievers, 3 black and one chocolate, AND LIGHT BEIGE CARPET! Can’t keep up with the hair!

    67. Kayla

      I just adopted a 5year old Black Lab/Great Dane cross that sheds constantly! My roommate is about to strangle me with the hair, and we have light tan carpet and tan couches in our house! EEKKK

    68. jaime

      please enter me !!! we have 2 siberian husky pups and two 20 lbs house cats. i vaccuum everyday and there’s still fur around the house!!!

    69. Michelle

      I live at a small no kill animal shelter and could really use one of these. Have 11 dogs, ranging from a shar pei mix to labs to catahoulas to a shepherd and an akita mix. We would love a furminator.

    70. Dana

      Dear Furminator,

      I would like a furminator because I have four brothers/sisters in my family and my human family says they’re tired of seeing black/brown/white “carpet” on their linoleum floor. I promise to share my furminator with my fellow fuzzy sibilngs. Happy Howlidays, everybody!

    71. Shannon

      Please enter me in the contest, better late than never, eh? I have a house full of dogs and cats and could certainly use the shedding assistance. Thanks

    72. gina burke

      Living with two siberians means wearing fur year round and not by choice! My clothes are always covered with it, my husband wakes up with dog hair clinging to his facial stuble, and somehow tumble weeds of dog fur float along my floors regardless of my daily efforts to eradicate them. Just when ya think you’ve gotten it all…poof! Like magic more appears. The chance to win a furminator?! Please count me in!

    73. Beth

      Please send me a furminator. I can get a headstart on the spring shedding season. I no longer own a jacket without pet hair. I own dark and light furries so every color fabric has a fur.

    74. Kaiser and family

      OH PLEASE can we have the FURminator!!!??? Don’t make us beg.. ok.. we’ll beg!! ANYTHING to get one of those!! We have 6 dogs (ALL shedders) in our pack and 2 kitties.. I swear we are getting carpal tunnel from the brushing.. BOL!!! We would be so grateful if you considered us! It would make our Christmas sooo happy!!! BOL!! Thank you!!!!

    75. Tisa

      Gosh I would love to win this! My dog has such long fur and seems so miserable during the summer and sheds constantly! ~ :) Thanks!

    76. Butch

      I would like a Furminator because my mommy is so tired of picking yellow hair off of her dark shirts and sweaters and pants. In fact, she has one very cute cashmere sweater she cannot wear because my beautiful dog hair is embedded in it. And don’t get me started on daddy….well, okay, here goes. He has to literally run from me when he is trying to get dressed in the morning as I recognize the color black, and I feel it is necessary to rub all over him so he can take a part of me to work.

      Another thing is that my hair congregates and balls up along the side boards of the walls, then mommy has to clean extra hard, which she really hates to do.

      Thanks for your consideration!

      Butchie William S.

    77. Jolanda and Jojo

      My dogs are Service dogs and I must brush them daily. It is always very likely to walk into people with allergies. So I have to keep them shed free and need to leave as little “trace” as possible – in tight spaces, Dr offices, Opera, during classes for instance…..
      Also I have two medium long haired cats and I seem to be allergic which is hard. We brush them every day and it is a hassle, because the comb we have does not catch all the hair.
      I am wishing you all a happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas, love, sonja

    78. Monty

      I would use it on Monty, my nans dog and my three cats (one who has dandruff issues due to shedding, well partly) I have always wanted a FURminator!

    79. Calvi

      I would love to have a FURminator for Cal. It’s embarerising (sp ck) when people come to visit and they leave with a fur coat.

    80. pony Linda

      Because a 100 lb dog can leave allot of dog fur behind!

    81. Heather

      We just rescued an aussie who had, what we thought was a short coat — well after aving 3 months of good food, she is developing a long coat and shedding all over — this would be a great christmas present for us and she would love it !!

      thanks

    82. MD and Kodi

      Woof! Pick me! My mom says I shed a LOT, even though I’m a lab. My friends say the Furminator really works!

    83. Misty

      Please enter me in the furminator contest. I would really love one. I have been trying to save up for one, but something always comes up. My Family doesnt like fur all over their clothes when they come and visit and my daughter crowls around and gets fur in her hands and clothes. I always have to watch her cause she will try to put it in her mouth and that is nasty. I hope you pick me. I wish everyone luck on the contest….

    84. Zoe & family

      Please enter us in the furminator contest. My mommy does all the brushes for me and my 3 siblings and she just started brushing our neighbors dog too.

    85. wilhelm

      i have two dogs and 3 children, my wife and i love the dogs as well as the children do, but its really hard keeping things tidy, would shure be nice ti have a furminator!

    86. Sherri

      Happy Holiday,
      I have three dazziling Shiloh Shepherds and my husband and I are starting a small kennel. We are training our girls to all be service anaimals.

      Our pldest girl and our black face girl are both mobility dogs and out buff girl is bring trained to be a search and rescue dog. We will be donating a pup a year for a service dog. We really need a furmnator with all these furry friends in our home.

    87. Kayla

      I have a short-haired dog that is shedding central! This product would be great to have, seeing as we cannot afford to buy one.

    88. Skip

      we have 2 rescued Cocker Spaniels and a Border please pick us for the FURminator Please

    89. JJ

      I would love to win the FURminator! My dog has short hair, but a double coat, and he sheds like CRAZY! I have to vacuum the house at least 3 or 4 times a week! Even the day after I vacuum there are balls of hair all over the place. My mom dosen’t like it too much. I think she may make him live outside if he sheds alot. :( Since I’m only 14 I don’t think I could afford to buy one. I try to brush him everyday, he has a slicker, pin brush and flea comb, but it dosen’t help alot. I’ve seen alot of ads for it and it looks awesome!

    90. Brusky

      I need a furminator bad. My mama would take me on more car rides if I shed less. She says the car wash people look so sad when she brings her car in and we kep the seats covered but my hair just flies all over

    91. Lisa

      The FURminator contest has ended, Kim was the winner. Congrats Kim, and thank you to all the Dogsters who entered.
