I'm going to buy an, Equigroomer for my sons dog for Christmas. He's a pitbull that sleeps on my sons bed. He always leaves tons of fur on his black bedspread. So I think this will be the perfect pup present.
Furminator has several sizes and coat length choices. I believe the yellow one here is for a smaller dog. The wider the 'blade/teeth' the better for larger dogs. When you read the instructions for the deshedding tool, you will find you are supposed to do it on a dry coat, make gentle long strokes with the direction of the coat, and avoid making excessive strokes in a single area. I find it works great, and having 3 German/Dutch Shedders I find it worth the price. I have not tried the Equigroomer, but my guess is you may need to buy more from wearing them out and pretty much equal the price over time for the Furminator. I am not a Furminator representative, just a huge fan. Since the Equigroomer is so affordable I'll try one and see if I can remember to post my thoughts on it here. Thank you for this demonstration!
I've tried both on my recently adopted longhaired cats. On the body, the 5" Equigroomer is great, but for the back legs and tail (where the smaller of the two cats cats has a LOT of built up undercoat; I'm pretty sure her previous owners never did any shedding work on her or had her groomed) the medium Furminator is wayyyyyy better. It's just enough smaller to get into the tighter areas, plus it holds onto the fluff- the Equigroomer sends tumbleweeds flying if I'm not super careful, which is easier to avoid with the Furminator. I'll probably continue to use both over time.
All of us old school groomers that have been doing this 30 years or so were pulling apart our 30 or 40 blades to card the coat looong before the Furminator came out- that's where they got that idea- blade with a handle- sure wish I had thought to patent it, lol! And yes, you can give an animal bald spots or make it bleed by going over and over the same spot with too much pressure! Interesting to see the new tool, looks like a wood block and plastic version of the metal loop I used on my horses years ago.
Thanks for watching and your comment. Haha you’re right you would be rich if you had patented that. The new tool is actually a horse deshedding tool that can be used just like the furminator. It works well on the right coat.❤️🐶❤️
As a former groomer, I am uneducated with current tools so I really appreciate this video. I was not thrilled w/ the furminator on my cats, I have purchased the Equigroomer, it has not arrived yet. Thank you.
You won't be disappointed. I just got the Equigroomer in the mail yesterday. It's marvelous. I have a dog with short course hair that hates being brushed. She's also very angular with a greyhound like body type. Very hard not to knock into bones while brushing. Also will get very little hair of her, even though she sheds like a fiend. She actually liked getting brushed. Relaxed into it after a minute and sprawled out on her bed. Before she was always stiff as a board and escaping after 2 minutes. Plus I removed a lot of fur! So sad it took me 16 years to find this brush for her
I have harmed my dog's skin numerous times with the Furminator (I am sorry, Lulu). I'm buying an Equigroomer and throwing the Furminator away. I don't want to be scared for my dog's safety while brushing.
Thank you! I agree. It’s too easy to injure your pet with traditional wire combs and brushes. The Equigroomer is so much more gentle, yet still effective in deshedding.
I already had my furminator for a while before I found out about the equigroomers. When using the equigroomer, does it stop pulling out the undercoat at some point? My main concern using the furminator is that I can't really tell when to stop. So far I've been (hopefully) conservative in brushing my pugs. As soon as I see any sort of shine in their coat I stop, but their hair still collects in little balls around the house.
Hi there thanks for watching. The furminator is a great tool I just find that you have to be cautious as to how much you are going over the same stop because you don’t want to be pulling healthy coat out. The Equigroomer is just a bit easier to control how much coat you are pulling out because it’a a more gentle tool but very effective. It should work great for your pugs. If you have the furminator already using both is probably good too. Start with the furminator and then finish with the equigroomer. I hope this helps!😊
@@FurryFriendsZone Have you tried the newer Furminator 2.0? Would love to know what you think about it compared to the older one. It has "skin guards" on the sides.
I don't think your question was answered as I have the same question. I find using deshedding shampoo AND conditioner helps a great deal. There are times I see very little hair coming off my dog. But, you need to have a constant regulated bath regimen. I told my vet that I was doing a bath every 2weeks and she said that was fine. You can really tell when you skip a week or two past the 2 weeks. Hope that helps you
I know you say to be careful on not running the brush over the same spot too many times but how do you know when to stop brushing? I was using the equigroomer on my irish wolfhound puppy and it seems to just keep coming. I just kind of gave up after going over her whole body 10 times 😮💨
I usually stop when the hair stops coming out heavily. I can go over my dog thoroughly 3-4 times before seeing it slow down. You will also see their coat even out and gain a healthier appearance. I haven't seen my dog get uncomfortable with it, I brush her gently and she actually loves the whole experience. For me, it's all about upkeep. Brushing her with this once a week maintains her hair to where I don't have to brush her as much as when I first brushed her with it. I must have gone over her 10 times at first 🤣. I can get a Walmart bag of hair out of my lab border Collie mix monthly. Just watch your dogs body language, if they appear uncomfortable stop brushing. If you don't brush vigorously, you should be able to go over your dog multiple times without a problem 🙏
I can’t use furminator on my husky he bites me so I figured it’s hurting him and it left bald spots on him so now I’m looking for a new deshedding brush
Thank you for watching and commenting!! He sure is a cutie and with a face like that we are always giving him lots and lots of kisses and boy is he spoilt! :)
He looks so much my like my dog! Especially the shape of his sweet big head. Juno is mostly white with some light brown speckles. Thank you and Fred for sharing❤
Your suppose to use the furminator on dry hair and skin only. Its not good to do it on wet hair and skin. Plus, if his hair was dry...you would be getting a lot more hair. 😇
All I do when it’s wet is run it over to get the loose coat out from the bath. I have stressed these tools can damage the coat very easily if used incoreectly
I have been using the Furminator for over 20yrs my siamese cat the female has a never ending hair , I only brush every few days but when I do I could make a whole other cat with all the hair that comes out her back and tail is crazy. She is a short hair while a long hair male gets hardly anything when I brush him
Is the equigroomer brand designed for cats and dogs cause im planning to but the one sold for horses and Idk if its safe. My cat is shedding like crazy 🥺
Hi there thanks for watching and commenting. Depending on the amount of undercoat you may need a rake or even a slicker brush to get the really thick areas brushed out. After a bath and a blow out that helps to loosen everything as well
Use the slicker brush first, then the rake, then this new tool. Shepards typically have a lot of coat to shed out and you'll have better luck getting out the big clumpy, easy stuff first before using the finishing tool. 30 year dog groomer here, so trust me, I do this stuff all the time 😉
Hi thanks for watching. These tools May not be the right ones for a Brittany depending on how long they are. You may need a slicker brush with longer teeth. They can get matting in the long feathering and the rear area.❤️🐶❤️
I have a Cairn Terrier with thick long hair and have been using a regular pin cushion brush with soft bristles on the other side. I don’t brush her as often as I should so I get at least 20 heavy full loads until she gets antsy and backs away. I intend to start brushing her much more frequently but don’t know what brushes to buy. Also, is it wrong to back brush and why? I have been doing that because it removes much more hair and faster.
Do you have her clipped? If not then you will use a different technique than if you have her pattern clipped. It's always more productive to use a slicker brush first to get all the undercoat that's ready to come out- this tool would be a finishing tool and could also work as a stripping tool if you like the hand stripped look without the dedicated amount of work. Back brushing is fine, sometimes it will get out more undercoat, just go back with the grain on the last couple passes😊 If you do have her clipped, slicker the legs and skirt and just use this tool on the clippered parts.
Hi there I would suggest using a regular slicker brush. Back brushing may pull out hair that’s not ready to come out. I’m assuming you just brush regularly and not get her coat actually clipped by a groomer?
@@FurryFriendsZone Back brushing undercoat with a slicker will not pull out hair that's not ready to come out, a slicker will only take out the loose coat- tools like the Furminator WILL take out coat that's not loose, which is why you need to be careful with them and not make many passes in one spot. I've been a professional groomer for 30 years and I've brushed, thinned, and demanded every type of coat there is- I've owned Scotties for 35 years, and I've also owned 3 Westies and a Cairn- terriers are my general specialty😊
@@FurryFriendsZone Also, if the Cairn is not pattern clipped and they want the hand stripped look without the enormous amount of time and effort, this tool could be effective to card the coat on the saddle area to create the effect without a stripping knife. It's an old school trick to card the coat with a #40 blade with the cutting blade removed- we were all doing it before The Furminator was invented, that's where they got the idea😉
@@FurryFriendsZone I was having her groomed professionally. But I recently decided to learn how to groom her and trim her nails. I shied away from the Furminator because I read some scary stories. Since my post I bought a slicker type brush with thin wires and tiny rubber tips and a button to push to clean the brush. It seems to do a good job, but it doesn’t get as much hair as back brushing with the pin cushion brush. However, I no longer back brush. I don’t know if this brush is getting out the proper amount of inner coat and I don’t know when to stop. How can I know?
Let us know how you like it!! Aww German Shepard's are such a cute breed and yes they sure to shed a lot! Let us know if you have any questions once you get your dog :)
I have long hair cats, and I woudl say the equigroomer is faster and doesnt hurt them like the furminator does. You have to be careful with the furminator and most of my kids dont not like it
Hi Claudia, thanks for your question! I have tried it before and to be honest I do not find that it is as effective on a longer haired dog. It really depends on the thickness of each dogs coat. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions please let me know :)
Hi thanks for watching. No as long as you aren’t pressing too hard and going over the same spot I’ve and over it’s all good. You just have to pay close attention. ❤️🐶❤️
Hi there thanks for watching! I would start with a rake. A furminator might help but I find they aren’t as useful on dogs with extremely long hair. I would try a couple deshedding tools and most grooming supply places are pretty good at letting you return items. Also brushing a clean coat helps so get out as much as you can bath and blow his coat out and then brush/rake again. Let me know how it goes.😊
You did the same area , first you used the furminator then used the other where you had already taken hair from that area , so how do we know anything from that ?
Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m brushing him wet because after the bath a lot of the hair has loosened and will brush out easier. I brush on both a dry and wet coat but not excessive anywhere as too much can damage the coat. If you have any other questions please let us know!
Please don't compare Furminator original with Furminator knock-offs!!! I had a knock off and after a few minutes I saw the hurt skin under my dog's coat. I threw it in the bin and have been deshedding him with a furminator for the past 10 years (American Akita). The original Furminator besides that it works MUCH BETTER than the knock-off, when there's no more dead hair to be taken out, the Furminator will just be empty, it will grab no more hair. The knock-off furminator style would keep on taking out hair until there was just skin left.
Hi There! Thanks for watching and commenting:) I totally agree they can damage the coat and are too harsh if people brush in the same spot over and over. You have to be so careful on how aggressive you are brushing.
First of all sweet heart, neither of those two should be used on a wet animal. They are meant to be used when the animal is fully dry!!! They are meant to remove the dead loose hair, not yank out of the skin.
I have emphasized many times in these videos that you have to be careful using these tools regardless if wet or dry. Just as much damage can be done on a dry coat as a wet.you should never “yank” out the coat.
Do not waste your money! I ordered one and it was nothing more than a hacksaw blade installed in a painted block of wood. In addition it was ineffective on pulling loose hair from my golden retriever or my sister’s cats.
you should not brush wet hair or fur unless conditioner is present. If it was pulling fur out of the follicles you would see root ends. cats are known to just continue to lose fur if you rinse or brush there coats. after I use the furminator ripoff there is a point were little lose fur comes out witch its obvious your done. I have never had this issue. this is some BS or your cat was sickly, or you let your daughter brush one spot for 40 mins witch is your fault Lol.
We would love to hear if you have tried these brushes and which you prefer?!

Hi thanks for watching and your feedback. Yes mother daughter bickering lol
That face! Such a good boy :)
Aww I know right! He is a very good boy:) and it helps he loves being brushed!
Fred wanted to remind you that he was there, wet in the tub, while you and your camera person were arguing. 😂❤🐶

You guys arguing is too cute!

the Furminator always wins because it has the best name ever!
Thank you for this video.
Thank you! This was super helpful while Shopping for tools!
Hi there thanks for watching. I’m happy we could help!❤️🐶❤️
My goodness what a handsome fellow he is i just wanna smoosh him and spoil him!
Thank you for watching and commenting!! He sure is a cutie and with a face like that we are always giving him lots and lots of kisses and boy is he spoilt! :)
Equigroomer is doing really well since it's going over the same area after the Fuminator.
Hi Thanks for watching. I find both tools are great. Your dogs coat is a big factor as well. Some tools work better on different coats
love your dog he's so well-behaved
What breed is Fred
Hi there thanks for watching. Fred is a big sweetheart thanks for your comment. He is a mastiff rotti cross.❤️🐶❤️
He looks so much my like my dog! Especially the shape of his sweet big head. Juno is mostly white with some light brown speckles. Thank you and Fred for sharing❤

The furminator is the best I have a Rottweiler and she is so soft I personally do a better job than any groomer. This tool is a must have
I have been using the Furminator for over 20yrs my siamese cat the female has a never ending hair , I only brush every few days but when I do I could make a whole other cat with all the hair that comes out her back and tail is crazy.

Hi thanks for watching. I personally use a slicker brush on my cats and it really also depends on how long their coat is when choosing the right tools
Thank you for the insight! 🤗
Do you think that it's necessary to use an undercoat rake after using Equigroomer in a German Sheperd?
Hi there thanks for watching and commenting. Depending on the amount of undercoat you may need a rake or even a slicker brush to get the really thick areas brushed out. After a bath and a blow out that helps to loosen everything as well

i use a furminator for my labrador-mix, but i’m thinking of getting an equigroomer for my 50% danish-swedish farmdog puppy.
Hi thanks for watching. As long as the coat isn’t crazy long it should work. It works great on horses too. ❤️🐶❤️
thats such a good boy
I know he is so good!! :)
What works well on brittney spaniels
Hi thanks for watching. These tools
May not be the right ones for a Brittany depending on how long they are. You may need a slicker brush with longer teeth. They can get matting in the long feathering and the rear area.❤️🐶❤️

Yes, they do. I have a samoyed and a vizsla and it works on both.

Hi There! Thanks for watching and commenting:) I totally agree they can damage the coat and are too harsh if people brush in the same spot over and over. You have to be so careful on how aggressive you are brushing.
You can grab a used dull hacksaw blade and use that lol the purple one is pretty much just a dull hacksaw blade.
i'd never brush a wet dog personally 🤨
Iuu
First of all sweet heart, neither of those two should be used on a wet animal. They are meant to be used when the animal is fully dry!!!
They are meant to remove the dead loose hair, not yank out of the skin.
I have emphasized many times in these videos that you have to be careful using these tools regardless if wet or dry. Just as much damage can be done on a dry coat as a wet.you should never “yank” out the coat.

If it was pulling fur out of the follicles you would see root ends. cats are known to just continue to lose fur if you rinse or brush there coats. after I use the furminator ripoff there is a point were little lose fur comes out witch its obvious your done. I have never had this issue. this is some BS or your cat was sickly, or you let your daughter brush one spot for 40 mins witch is your fault Lol.
Thanks so much for watching and your comments!
