The long-hair deShedding tool for large dogs: a stainless edge that reaches through the topcoat and lifts the undercoat, sized for animals of 23 to 41 kg (50.7 to 90.4 lb).
What we take from it The reference deshedding tool, and worth its price over a generic copy for one reason: the sizing is honest and the edge is finished properly.
FURminator’s size L deShedding tool for long-coated dogs of 23 to 41 kg (50.7 to 90.4 lb): a stainless edge with rounded corners that passes through the topcoat and lifts loose undercoat out.
Most deshedding brushes are sold in one size and described as suitable for everything. FURminator sizes by weight and by coat length, with a 5 cm (2 in) cut-off between the short and long versions. That is the difference between a tool that reaches the undercoat and one that skates over it.
The edge removes loose hair very effectively, and used too often it takes living coat with it. FURminator’s own guidance — one to two sessions a week — is the number to follow. In a heavy moult, several short passes over a few days achieve more than one long session, and do less to the coat.
Mats. A deshedding tool pulls at a mat rather than clearing it, and a mat against the skin has to be cut out by someone who can see what is underneath. That is a groomer’s job, and no brush on this page changes it.
Catalogued and unsold: the American Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.

FURminator suggests one to two sessions a week, and that is a ceiling rather than a target. This is a blade, not a comb: run it over the same patch daily and you thin the coat rather than clear the undercoat. In heavy moult, more frequent short sessions beat long ones.
Match the tool to the coat, not to the dog’s appearance. FURminator draws the line at 5 cm (2 in) of hair length. A long-hair tool on a short coat sits too far off the skin; a short-hair tool on a long coat drags and pulls.
It is FURminator’s claim, published on the listing, and we report it as theirs. What is not in dispute is that a deshedding edge removes far more undercoat per pass than a pin brush — which is also why it needs using sparingly.
