How does this compare with the "furminator" for a golden retriever

haven't used the furminator, but love the magic pro, removes a lot of hair need to do daily to keep under control

I've never used the furminator but I have looked at the price. I know this product works very well on med hair dogs. hope this helps.

I never used the furminator only because of the cost. Magic pro is half the cost, and does an excellent job. Since I have been using the item, my Cocker Spaniel hasn't shed.

Don't see much difference except might not pull as much hair out at one time thus being more gentle on the dog or cat.

i have used just regular clippers for our Golden Lab but did not have the attachment for sucking up hair attached since there is so much hair, any clipper with guards works great for pets.

I think its better if you get a long furminator hair brush. The dual brush is intended for dog with short fur.

This is the my first FURminator that I have used. I use it twice a week on my dog and it has helped me contain the hair in the house. My wife loves it because it helps maintain the house clean. Also my dog loves it when I use it too.

Nope, you just need one FURminator. I suggest the long hair versions. God bless, Linda

Just get the long hair one. They work very well and it should do fine on both animals.

I agree. The undercoat must be there, then this product will work nicely. It removes more undercoat from my Aussie than a Furminator.

Hi Pam - Yes - I have two goldens both with very long hair and it's picking it up great. The ONLY negative I have run into at all is that the tube that goes into the canister is about the size of a silver dollar (kind of smallish) and though it's super light weight and manueverable (which kind of outweighs that for me) we have had to unclog it a bit more than the normal one when I picked up a small piece of a dog toy or something like that which clogged the tube. We've had to unclog it twice in the last 2 weeks so that's unusual for me compared to my older Dyson (which I sold on Craiglist so I hope this works it way through!!) But function-wise as far as picking up hair it does an excellent job!! Hi Pam - Yes - I have two goldens both with very long hair and it's picking it up great.

You would have to clean the roller often depending how many dogs. With two golden retrievers I cleaned it after one room but that's just me I hate it when rollers have a tone of hair in them. My hair also but for some reason not as much, probably due to my shedding schedule is not as often as a golden retrievers... ;)

Depends on the dog's fur, I think. The electric hose and the motorized brush really do make a difference but if your dog's hair clumps, I feel like the difference might not be as big. I'd probably go with the Delphi with any pet, though. That's my personal opinion.

the Furminator works best on long-haired cats...just don't pull too hard as it pulls the skin.

Thank you all for your answers. I ended up ordering one so hopefully my boxer will enjoy the experience of being groomed and the brush gets out lots of shedding fur. Thanks again for all the prompt and helpful responses!

I am not sure but I used this for my 30kg golden retriever (also thick undercoat but not so fine hair) n it works great. My mom enjoys shaving my golden's hair with it to different style; one day lion, another time bart simpson, sometimes skunk. I bought a few clipper head to vary the length depending on the weather. My golden seems to b comfortable too. He falls asleep during haircuts.

Which Furminator u use depends on the breed of your cat (short or long hair), not on its age. If the hair is 2 inches or less then the small should be sufficient. If hair is longer then go for the larger (purple) one. Either one is a great tool.

I am not claiming to be an expert whatsoever. I work in a grooming salon just bathing and brushing dogs. I prefer to use the oster rake for long-haired, thick coated dogs because it gets more hair out in one swipe than the furminator. Also, you can use the oster while your dog is damp. With the furminator your dog needs to be completely dry because the furminator could scratch your dogs skin. Both brushes get out the undercoat. Furminator is great for short haired dogs but even then I'd suggest just using a rubber Zoom Groom brush. So to completely answer your question, and from what I know about Oster Rakes and Furminators (which isn't much since i'm not an expert) is both brushes grip the undercoat hair and helps de-shed your dog. They look nothing alike and both have different sizes. For my dog (which is a very thick-coated Polish Mountain Dog) I use the 18 Teeth Wide, Course brush. I wouldn't suggest that size for your golden since their coats aren't as thick.

I have not used it on a golden ret., but do use it on my std poodle and airedale terrier. I had had a wahl plug in adjustable blade for over thirty years and loved it. This appears to be the battery version of the old clipper. So far I like the new clipper.

I imagine it would. You don't have to push down or apply any pressure so it's more like "petting". You can use the Furminator with slow strokes. Worth a try because I imagine your dog has quite an undercoat!
