In time joy my 2 young English cocker spaniels have become a daily weight - their long black hair flying freely in the nooks and crannies made us all miserable! The FURminator changed everything: It easily manages to unravel the pans from the undercoat of fur around their beautiful coat over without hurting them ... with the push of a particular button, the FURminator automatically releases the pans in 'clean, compact little packages', ready to be thrown away! For the price of 25 euros I would have appreciated receiving a small storage bag, but I do not regret my purchase - Beware though: while I, I would use the FURminator easily every day, my doggies not tolerate that one to two times max. per week!
