• Product Review

Not something I normally do here on the SDP blog, but this product left quite an impression on me, and I felt it needed to be shared with the masses.

Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, we visited the Dog Bowl held in Frankenmuth, MI.  There were lots of cool dog related activities happening there, as well as a select number of vendors with their booths set up.  Normally, you just glance by the vendor booths, but one stood out.  It was a simple display, but the product made it’s own impression.  The Fast and Furless tool seemed like one of those “as seen on tv” type of things.  You know the kind, something you buy because it looks cool, use twice, it brakes, and then you never use it again type of things.  We stopped and talked to the couple who invented the tool.  After a short conversation and a demonstration, we went along our way.  As we walked around, I felt compelled to walk by one more time.  On our way out of the event, we swung by their booth.  Being that they are a Michigan small business, I decided to pick one up.

After getting home, I put the tool together with the short brush kit.  It comes with a short hair set, and a medium hair set.  The “special” dog isn’t exactly a short-haired model, but e isn’t sporting a shag, either.  Being that the weather hadn’t warmed up too much in the year yet, he wasn’t in his full summer shed.  The tool still did its job, removing a great deal of the dense undercoat.

Fast forward to today, and the heat is on.  We were out in the back yard and I decided it was time for the dog to get a bath.  He has been shedding something fierce the past couple weeks.  I always brush him out the best I can before a bath, so I can achieve a better clean.  I went to grab the drill with the tool on it only to find that both of my batteries were dead.  I proceeded to us a brush to prep the dog for his bath.  I removed a considerable amount of hair, that otherwise would have found its way to our floors.  After his bath, and after some time drying, I had a charged battery for the drill.  Running the Fast and Furless through his coat, it was still able to rake out quite a bit of fur.

In my opinion, if you are looking to replace your “furminator”, this is the tool.  It is made of a special high grade plastic, and the ends are not sharp, so it is much safer for your dog.  It works pretty fast, and does a really good job of pulling out the undercoat fur.  Keep you drill batteries charged, and this tool will make quick work of that annoying summer shed.
