i have the real thing called the furminator. I was curious if the shed ender worked it looks a little similar to the furminator but costs ALOT cheaper then the one I have

I have the yellow one.
I dont think I would use this on a yorkie though... Its pulling out the undercoat and yorkies dont have an undercoat like a double coated dog.
I can tell you its great on my german shepherd

I wouldn't use the Shed Ender on a yorkie..your yorkie sheds?!? I use it on my chi..well I used to.

Its a little small like I said and it doens't get ALL the shed hair out.

The furminator looks 2 times the size..if i'm seeing the same one as you. This thing is like 2" big.

Marcellacml · 11-11-2006, 09:50 PM

It was only 10 dollars though so it wouldn't hurt to try it yourself if your really interested..i'd send you mine but with shipping it wouldn't be worth it.

It looks like it has the same blade as the Shed Ender...

I'll find a picture for you..

Looks JUST like this but thats not the Shed Ender

No my yorkies dont shed.. My german shepherd, the cat and my long haired chi do however.

Yes the furminator is bigger then the one seen on TV. The other groomer at the shop has the smaller one and we switch if I need the smaller or she needs the bigger depending on the dog. The blue one is more similar size wise to the one seen on tv

Chrissy0277 · 11-11-2006, 09:57 PM

I did see the blades are the same but in my opinion I think the more expensive one is more comfortable to use. Im using the furminator in a grooming shop setting and grooming several dogs a day whereas your using the littler one at home and probably is fine for home use. Today alone I think I used it on like 3 shepherd mixes that came in to be groomed today, well yesterday lol

ohh..thats a good idea I wouldn't recommend it if you plan on using it for german shep. not that it wouldn't work but it would take too long.

ohh I see..hmm..well its not the most comfortable comb i've ever used. Its comfy when your combing down but when your going sideways..

nah its a pain cause my arm is in all different directions lol especially if your looking down at the dog. Its good cause if your a lefty you can switch the direction of the blade(if that made sense).

I bought those and then had to take them away from Little Bit. She would use them to get on the couch, but then she'd just keep climbing & when she wanted off, she'd just jump I don't think she knew the steps went both ways. Little Bit is gorgeous but I don't think she's the sharpest knife in the drawer.

When I used to cut hair, I had to fix alot of flobee haircuts, how funny haven't thought of that for years.
My father in law loves those commercials and the products. He used to buy them and give them to us for Christmas. I had to finally make my husband tell him that we didn't use those products because they don't work like on TV.
(I felt bad) But he was spending alot of money on those things.
Right before my husband and I got married my father in law bought me this Monogramed purse (with my maiden name) with a light up mirror in it, and a "magic wallet" (remember those?) I was mortified, my grandmother wouldn't have even used it. and I was 21 at he time.

Really makes me mad 'cause it sounded so good!

I love the bullet, we drink alot of smoothies and all you do is add the fruit in the cup with some yogurt smootie drink and you have an awesome smoothie. makes good salsa too. I got mine from Targe for only 50.00 instead of 100.00 from the infomerrical

Our Wal-Mart sells those exact steps for about 25.00 (and it says on the box"as seen on tv") We are thinking about getting those for Grayson!

Yes, the front of the warehouse is an outlet store. I call in my order and go pick it up a few hours later ( I buy the potty pads by the case $29.99 for 200) I only go there every few months, there is a surcharge if you don't spend at least $50.00.
