Pet Furminator brushes bales of hair
The Furminator de-shedding tool claims to take off up to 90 percent of your pets' loose fur—and from the looks of the doghair tumbleweeds in the company's photo, the tool works alarmingly well.
The "lab-rador tested" tool is not exactly a brush; rather, the teeth dig in to clear out the matted undercoat while leaving the shiny topcoat intact. The undercoat, apparently, contains as much hair as an entire pack of dogs.
I couldn't help but imagine some hapless photo assistant sent down to the local Mutt Cuts, dragging a bag full of fur back to the studio to get this shot. The company insists, though, that these shots show actual results.
My cat loves it, but that's not saying much—she'd love getting brushed even by one of these.

We have one of these for our Husky. It works great. He even likes getting brushed now and we have to do it less often than with any other method.
I would recommend it for dogs with undercoats.
Just got the Furminator a few weeks ago and it's just like their website shows. Much easier and faster than any other pet brush, and the piles of fur on our black lab really do pile up like the photo above. Of course, using this brush weekly means we get far less fur at each brushing now, and our house is visibly cleaner. Only downside is the extreme price of $34 for the smallest size brush at Petsmart, or $19 at Amazon.com.
How can i get it?

I'm an owner of a grooming salon and i swear by this product! Furminator is amazing!
Although, I would like to correct a few things mentioned above.
It was was mentioned above that the Furminator "takes off up to 90 percent of your pets' loose fur". The furminator reduces shedding by 90% if used regularly every 4-6weeks(this includes the furminator solution and tool).
The entire second paragraph isn't 100% correct. It was stated that the "the teeth dig in to clear out the matted undercoat". However, as much as I would like to believe the Furminator dematts dogs, it doesn't. That is when a dematter comes into play,or if the matting is really bad, the pet will need to be shaved. The Furminator does get a lot of the undercoat out, it just doesn't dematt pets.
The final thing about the Furminator is that as wonderful as it is, i don't use the tool of long coated breeds such as golden retrievers because it ruins their coat. However, I do use the solution.
The Furminator products are a great thing to have on the market and make my job, just that little bit less stressful.
