Furminator for German Shepherds

I never quite realized how much German shepherds shed until I got one. To make matters even worse, I got a long haired German shepherd, so he sheds even more. I’ve tried many different types of brushes but they don’t always seem to work or at least they don’t get as much hair out as I wished they would.
I finally decided to try the furminator after hearing some positive things from people. I was told to get the furminator over any other brands that are cheaper. I was happy I did.
Pros: It gets a lot of hair out! Just like the pictures, even after a few minutes of brushing I have a pile of hair. I can easily tell where I have and haven’t brushed. It is quite amazing. The handle and blade are easy to use for a long period of time. Available in different sizes to fit your dog.
Cons: If you press too hard, you can hurt your dog. It gets the undercoat, which is great, but doesn’t get the long top hairs, which I also find all over my house.
**I also have tried the furminator waterless shampoo. It is supposed to reduce shedding and make them smell better. I don’t think it does either, but that is for another post, maybe tomorrow.I rate this product 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to reduce their dog’s shedding
