Location: Freestone TX | Yes. I use it on both cats and dogs. But you have to be careful with it. All my animals are sensitive to it so I go easy. |

| I think it depends on what type of dog you are using it on... My step mom got one for her poodle and rat terrier and said it didn't work... so she gave it to me and it works well on my lab, heeler, and aussie... |

| Its ok but the cost of buying the blades every year sucks. I like it just as well as a slick brick. |

I dont know what the Furminator is but the horse version might be like the Slick EZ? I LOVE IT!!!!! I have had mine for a year. Who knew a little hacksaw blade would be so versatile!

I was going to ask if someone knew about these too.
Have you tried the ones for dogs? |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I love the furminator on double coated dogs. There are better options for horses tho, IMO. I use one of those rubber curry deals with the big "fingers", then follow up with a shedding blade. |

These are also super great for cleaning your wool pads and girths. |

| NOT worth 50 bucks but if you can find one at the reasonable price of other shedding blade it's OK my personal opinion is the old shedding blade works just as good and gets a wider area.. Also the old style ones curve to fit around the flank area where the "furmanater" doesn't. |

 Can You Hear Me Now?
Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving | Yes. I have one for my GSD and Maine coon cat and can`t live without it; I have stolen theirs and used it on the horses and liked the results too. I a have a shedding blade and love it, since its bigger then the medium size furminator i tend to grab that first for a horse; haven`t gotten around to buying the one for horses yet. |

OK I checked out the Sheddy but can't tell!l much about it. Is it like sand paper all the way around or does it have a blade? Please give me a description. Looks like it works good but after wasting money on that Slick EZ I need a little more information. Thanks |
