works really good
Our chocolate lab loves it. One thing I did find to help with static is use a dryer sheet. I rub the are with the dryer sheet then I comb that area.

furminator
The dog grooming tool is great. I have short and long hair dogs. This tool got so much hair off the short hair dogs it was great. With the other combs/brushes I never really got much hair on the short haired dogs.

Amazingly worth the price!!!!
I bought the FURminator a few months ago after trying almost every other grooming product out there. I have two German Shepherds and there can be ALOT of hair around when they blow their coats twice a year. I couldn't justify the expense of a $40+ brush so I went ahead and bought other brushes, slickers, etc and the dogs STILL had hair flying off of them - even though not much came of using the brush. I finally broke down and bought the FURminator and now I can literally fill a (grocery store sized) plastic bag from only one dog! My house is much less hairy - totally worth it!

Good tool.
The furminator works well. It is a good idea to comb your dog outside. The first time I used it on my long haired dog, I was surrounded by tons of hair. Most of the hair was from her dense undercoat. This tool works as advertised.

Works well
Furminator works well, not sure its as good as the manufacturer would lead us to believe. I have a golden retriever that is starting to shed for the season. I have previously used a traditional undercoat rake. The furminator is approximately 20% better, but 250% more expensive. So...... to do it all over. I would probably stick with the undercoat rake and keep the dollars in my pocket.

One thing to say for Amazon though..... $30 less than my local bigbox pet store!!!!
