FURminator Curry Comb, Dog Comb with Rubber Teeth 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.

Works well for short haired dogs.

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...

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!
