I've read so many singing the praises of the Furminator on here, but I'm wondering how it compares to the Shedzilla and similar de-shedding tools.
I bought a Shedzilla a year ago for our long haired girl, Gidget. I've since seen pictures of how much fur people got off of their animals using the Furminator, and it looks like the amount I got off Gidget the first couple of times I used it. Now I get a ball of fur about the size of a computer mouse off of Gidget each week. My husband tried the brush on our DSH girl, Angel, this spring because she was pretty matted from not being able to groom herself because she's so big (which has convinced my husband that she's obese and needs to lose weight and that we need to change how we feed the cats, but that's another topic). It took a week of short grooming sessions, but the brush got out all of the mats and took an amazing amount of fur off of Angel. We brush Angel once a week now and get less fur than from Gidget, but it's still quite a bit of fur. We also use the brush on our DHS boy Demon, but rarely get any fur at all. Then again, we don't get much fur off of him with the grooming glove, metal flea comb or any other grooming tool we've used on him so far.
Do you think the Furminator would do a better job than the Shedzilla we are currently using? Do you think a Furminator would get any fur off our our boy?
