Why is a furminator dangerous?

Domestic cats and dogs shed not seasonally, but all year round. For many owners, this turns into real torture. And it doesn’t matter how often the apartment is cleaned. The fallen wool decorates everything: floors, furniture, clothes and even food.

To combat shedding, animals are given supplements with fish oil or yeast and combed regularly. However, not all combing devices are equally effective. Most of them do not remove even half of the dead hair. Combs often break, and slickers “go bald”, because. fragile teeth get stuck in thick wool. Favorably differs from analogues FURminator – an effective tool against molting, equipped with a safe blade. It removes not only fallen hair, but also dead deep undercoat, which is still held by friction against the skin and other hairs. It is the only tool in the world that reduces hair shedding by 90%. And don’t let the steel blade scare you: it’s completely safe and doesn’t hurt.

But why then the negative reviews about the furminator? The owners of cats and dogs complain that the tool irritates and injures the skin, cuts off the “live” outer hair and spoils the structure of the coat. Let’s see what’s what.

In fact, everything is simple. The high efficiency of the original FURminator provoked a huge demand and … mass production of fakes. The name “Furminator” turned from its own into a household name, and copies for every taste appeared on the shelves of pet stores. Some of them are only remotely reminiscent of the original in construction and design, while others are almost an exact copy. It can be difficult to spot a fake. Hence the sad results. Fake furminators do not guarantee effectiveness and safety. How well they work depends only on the conscience of the manufacturers. And judging by the reviews, they did not focus on quality.

Fake furminators do not comb hair well. The blade can irritate and scratch the skin, damage the surface of the hair, and worsen its structure. Fakes are uncomfortable to hold, they crack and break.

And now let’s remember the original Furminator. To damage a metal blade and a handle made of thick plastic, you need to try hard. The manufacturer guarantees that the original instrument lasts the entire life of the animal (the official warranty is 10 years, except for the FURflex instrument line). With regular use, it not only minimizes shedding, but also strengthens the hair follicles, making the coat more beautiful. And the huge amount of positive feedback about the original FURminator confirms this!

Be careful and beware of imitations!
