Furminator-have you used one?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I know you wouldn't use this on a yorkie...but for those of you with
"other" dogs in the house....Have you ever used a furminator???
What did you think of it???
My mother has been given a shih-zu and I need to groom him.
I was thinking about trying one of these but for the price - I'd
like to know what you think.

OMG this is awesome - I use it on my 2 longhair cats and they love it and you wouldn't believe how much fur comes out. It's worth the $$$.

I'll try this again, If you see two posts I apologize - the page froze up.

Anyway, I use it on our black Lab Lucee but not on Bella our Yorkie. It's meant for dogs that shed and it works great for Lucee

. The Shih Tzu does not shed. I got on the furminator web site and they have "recommend breed" and "not-recommended breed" lists to determine if it should be used and the Shih Tzu is on the "not-recommended" list. But the Yorkie is on the "recommended" list, strange huh? Maybe they don't realize that the Yorkie does not shed?

I believe there's another thread on this with more information.

I have used mine on my siamese cat, and my golden/cocker mix and it works miracles!

Use it on my Pommie and my daughter's long-haired part-Himalayan kitty. Love it!!!!!! The bird's love the fur for their nests when I do it outside.
