Best Dog Shedding Tools of 2026

"I was amazed by how much undercoat the SleekEZ removed from my husky—enough to make a whole new dog! Despite my initial doubts, it worked beautifully, and my dog actually enjoyed being brushed for once. It’s clearly more durable and higher quality than similar tools I’ve tried, and I love that there are different sizes for all my pets."

"My Labrador absolutely loves this brush. It pulls out the undercoat effortlessly, and I’ve never seen him so relaxed during grooming. This is the only brush that really gets the job done for us."

"This is the best grooming tool I’ve owned. My Aussie-Golden mix sheds a ton, but this brush took off days’ worth of hair in one go. It’s gentle, keeps clean easily, and my dog actually sits still for a 15-minute brushing session."

"I have two short-haired cats that usually hate every grooming tool I try, but this brush was an instant hit. Both cats let me brush them fully and loved it from the start. It quickly pulls out tons of undercoat and loose hair. The only hassle is stopping regularly to clear fur from the brush, and static can be an issue, but a damp glove helps. Overall, it’s lightweight, sturdy, and gets the job done better than anything else I’ve tried. I absolutely recommend it to other pet owners."

"After reading all the positive reviews, I ordered the MIU COLOR brush for my shedding dog. I was amazed at how much hair it removed in just a few strokes. My dog actually enjoys being brushed with it, which wasn’t the case before. It’s gentle, easy to clean, and the handle is very comfortable. Grooming is now faster, easier, and way less messy. If you have a pet that sheds, I’d say this brush is a must-have."

"I have a mini Aussie with really fine hair, and most brushes don’t get enough fur out—but this one does. It works great at pulling out shed, though I wish there was a smaller size for petite dogs. Short strokes work best to keep my dog comfortable. Overall, it’s the most effective tool I’ve found for grooming her."

"After adopting a short-haired rescue pup who shed everywhere, I wanted a solution to manage the hair. The Furminator made a huge difference—I see much less hair on clothes, bedding, and floors. The orange mid-size is perfect for my 23-pound dog, letting me reach tricky spots like her legs and throat. The tool is durable and comfortable to use, and the hair release button works well. I highly recommend using it outdoors since it pulls off a ton of hair. Overall, I’m glad I invested in this tool instead of cheaper alternatives—it saves me time and keeps my house much cleaner."

"The Furminator has been a life changer for me. After just one grooming session, there was a dramatic reduction in loose fur all over my home. My dog actually enjoys the process, and the tool gives his skin a gentle massage while removing the undercoat. It’s fast, simple, and super effective—if you have a shedding dog and want to keep your house clean, this is a must-have product."

"For years, I hesitated to buy the Furminator due to the price, but once our pet family grew, I finally got one—and it was so worth it. Using it at the self-serve bath in Tractor Supply showed me its power to remove dead and dirty fur and how much happier and healthier my pets looked after use. I also discovered the Furminator nail clippers, which are by far the best I've ever tried for both cats and dogs. Both tools have become essential for our pet care routine."

"I was blown away by how much fur and debris this tool removed from my dog's coat—he looked so much better after just one session. No need to constantly clean the brush out and both my dogs sat still, so I’m guessing it’s comfortable for them too. For the price and results, it’s a fantastic buy."

"With three big, furry dogs, I needed something that could keep up. This brush made brushing faster, more comfortable, and much more effective than anything else I’ve tried. Even my elderly dog with sore joints started loving being brushed again! Truly a game-changer for us."

"I’ve tried all sorts of shedding tools for my cat and was amazed by how well the Wahl blade worked compared to my other brushes. It pulled out more hair with less effort and my cat had no trouble with either size of the teeth. I also love how the handle separates for two-handed use, especially when grooming bigger pets."

"I was skeptical after seeing this tool go viral, but it actually made grooming my constantly shedding pug enjoyable for both of us. She normally runs away from brushes, but now she comes right over, and it removes an impressive amount of loose fur without irritating her skin. Absolutely worth it for pets who dislike traditional brushes."

"With three Great Pyrenees, managing shedding is a challenge, but this brush cuts through the dense undercoat and top coat easily. The handle feels comfortable, it's durable and requires almost no maintenance, and the shed hair comes right off. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with heavy shedders."

"My long-haired cat adores being brushed with this tool, and I've found it doubles as an excellent couch hair remover. The quality is impressive, and I love that it comes in my favorite color, purple!"

"I noticed much less hair on my clothes since using this deshedder. Both my dogs eagerly come over when I reach for it, and I love the removable comb feature for easy cleaning. It feels solid and well-made, and the size is just right for handling. I even keep the plastic cover on when not in use for safety!"

"After trying out several other brushes, I found this one is more comfortable for my cat and removes a ton of fur. She actually enjoys being brushed now, which is a huge change from before. Highly recommend it for anyone with a shedding pet!"

"While this deshedder does pull out loose hair as promised, the comb fills up fast and I have to stop often to clear it out. With multiple pets, it's a bit time-consuming, but I’ll keep it as a backup."

"I have a Labrador-German Shepherd mix and this tool really makes a difference in controlling shedding. It gets rid of so much loose fur, and I’m impressed by how sturdy and easy to use it is. Great value for the price, and I’d recommend it to other pet owners."

"After trying numerous brushes on my dog, this is the one that actually works. It pulls out loads of fur without any tugging and my dog, who normally squirms, actually sits still for it. The solid wooden handle feels high quality, and it’s easy to clean. Perfect for both short and long hair—even my cat benefits from it. If your pets shed a lot, this tool is a lifesaver."

"I was skeptical, but this deshedding tool exceeded my expectations. It’s gentle yet super effective and feels comfortable even during longer grooming sessions. My dog enjoys being brushed now, and I’ve already noticed significantly less shedding around the house. Clean-up is a breeze too. Honestly, I wish I’d gotten it sooner!"

"I use this on my 65-lb Yellow Lab, who sheds a ton. The brush is solidly built and comfortable in my hand, and it really pulls out the soft undercoat—especially on his tail and legs. However, the loose fur tends to fall right to the floor, and for his longer topcoat, I still prefer my wire brush since it traps hair better. Overall, this brush excels at undercoat removal on certain areas, but may not totally replace a wire brush for long-coated dogs."

"I’ve tried this deshedding brush on my double-coated dogs and found it very effective at removing loose undercoat and cutting back on shedding. It feels a bit firmer on the fur compared to other brushes, so I’m careful not to press hard. My dogs, who are usually sensitive, don’t seem to mind at all. I also appreciate the rubbery, non-slip handle. It’s a solid tool for deshedding, just a tad on the firmer side."

"I’ve been using this on my cats and have found it gentle enough that my cats actually start purring during grooming. The brush looks sharper than it is, but once you get comfortable using it, it’s safe, removes loose hair effectively, and is easy to handle. It works especially well for cats who enjoy being brushed."

"Since using the Furminator, I've seen a huge improvement in the amount of hair on my clothes, floors, and furniture. My rescue pup has a wiry, short coat that sheds a lot, but this tool grabs loose hair even from the thickest spots. It's easy to use and the button releases hair easily. Just be sure to use it outside because it pulls out so much fur! The mid-size fits well in my hand and gets into small spots on my pup. Absolutely worth the price for the time and frustration it saves."

"The Furminator is life changing and the best grooming tool I've owned. After just one use, loose hair around the house dropped dramatically. My dog even likes the massage-like feel. It's fast, effective, and easy to use—a total game changer for keeping my home clean. Highly recommend for any shedding dog!"

"I hesitated for years because of the price, but with multiple cats and a dog, I finally bought it. Now, bathing and grooming are so much easier with less mess at home. The Furminator removes dead fur quickly and leaves my pets noticeably happier. Plus, their nail clippers are the best I've found—affordable, precise, and reliable. This brand has truly improved my pet care routine."

"As someone with a short-haired German Shepherd, I'm genuinely impressed—this tool gets deep into the undercoat and removes shed hair better than anything else I've tried. The size fits perfectly in my hand, making grooming easy and comfortable."

"I own a Boston Terrier and a Corgi, and the difference this brush makes is clear. It handles my Boston's shedding easily and pulls a ton of loose hair from my Corgi. While I wish more hair stuck to the comb, it's still better than any other brush I've used and helps me keep the house cleaner."

"I've been using this grooming tool on my Dutch Shepherd K9 and couldn't be happier. The retractable rake is convenient, the rubber side gives a nice massage, and it fits easily in my gear bag. I recommend it for any shepherd owner."
