The Furminator

We have a black lab and hardwood floors. I sweep, look down, and there is still dog hair there. It is everywhere. I have been really worried about the dog hair with the new baby. So I did some research and found out the Furminator is by far the favorite to help prevent shedding. So I bought one. These things are not cheap. So The kids and I decided to conduct our own experiment. The website has a picture of a golden with a ton of hair surrounding it. Now Goldens have longer hair than labs, but we thought if we could get hair like that then it was worth it. It was hard to get the before picture. She saw me open the package and Sean was messing with her so she was excited.
So Sean held her down and I brushed, and brushed, and brushed. She had a lot of hair that came out! She loved it! I think she was waiting for her mani and pedi afterward.


I know it looks like Sean in choking her, but he was rubbing her ears and neck, and she was in heaven. It has to feel good to get all that extra hair off. I was still getting hair, but she was not sitting very still so I decided to try to get more tomorrow when we were home alone and she was more calm.
Anyway, experiment was a success. We decided if we scattered the hair out like it was in the photo she would probably have as much hair as the Golden, and we were not done! So the furminator is a success and hopefully worth the money!
