Guest vin Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 hello all, ive been looking at the furminator (try it on youtube)...bloody good stuff... so what i have done to save some money is...made my own version...you should all now.. i like to pay less than the shops for everything i use... you,ve seen my ultimate lamp threads etc etc..hehee. well i found a way of making a cheap alternative to the furminator. you need an old pair of electric clippers (wahl) you know the type..for doing you own hair etc etc.. any make or brand .. just get the screwdriver out and remove the blades... use the top flat blade (biggest piece of the 2)..and apply it in the same motion as the Furminator videos on youtube etc etc.. its easy and works a treat...i did my dog today and she,s looking mint. i say an old pair of clippers,but you could use a good pair and just put the blades back on when you,ve finished. or get down the car boot and buy an old pair to butcher up into a new " hand held furminator". atb vin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cold Ethyl 63 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Cant recommend the furminator enough i bought one ages ago and its shit hot.Will never use anything ever again.I got bags of hair of numerous dogs of my own and friends and it keeps their coat in great nick.My dogs have never looked so shiny and theres far less hair kicking around the house the cats hate being groomed and i can get a bloody good bit of them before they carve me up like a turkey with the furminator so would be interested to see if this works well.

Cold Ethyl 63 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 It will work it does the buisness i wont be using any other brsuh of any sorts cant say much more than that i have a box full of different brushes and combs and theyre all useless compared to this.Worked wonders in the summer cos you can really thin them out to make sure theyre not too heavy coated.Custom built for a beddy imo.I love mine lol.
