Ahh, I see you are looking at this tool. you must have a pet, or specifically a dog. Maybe even a giant cat. Tiny horse? cow? it really doesn't matter, although a horse and cow having longer hair like this would be something to record and call a vet on. So lets assume that you have a land mine creator that tromps around in your backyard.
This was the last of a long series of attempts to find a de-shedding tool. Seriously, how hard is it? I am no design expert, but with all that we know these days shouldn't it be easy to find a tool to pull the excessive hair from man's best friend? Or for the feline side, the demented psychopath which shall rule you and break all you own. I have had many tools that claim to be perfect fail over and over. This brush with a network of tiny spines that you push a button and all the hair is supposed to fall off into the trash, the rollers, the weed whackers, the hair cutting tools and the vacuums. NONE WORK. All have some fancy selling point, but the trust of it is that either the dog will hate you for life or they just don't work. Even if you magically find one that does, it only works the first time!
Walk in this tool. The ShedMonster ACTUALLY WORKS! Yes, all you poor hear covered people and sigh in relief, this tool does the job over and over again without any issues. And guess what? My dog loves it. He gets excited to see it brought out, almost too much. the poor carpets need more scotch guard. But he LOVES the tool, and in one or two swipes you have the blades full of excess hair. Consistently....again and again....without the spines being bent, no loud noises, no awkward moments with your pet staring at you in disbelief.
Just be sure to have a trash can handy, because if your pet is like mine it will be full....and fast. This worked so well that we filled a small trash can three times on the first day. And the dog never fought us, never tried to run like we were hurting him, and even looked at his own pile of hair in disgust.
This does not mean your pet will only need this once. Nope, nature decided that dogs will shed and often. But a regular routine of using this will keep the amount of hair in the carpets, furniture, air filters and your cloths will be at a minimum...although your cloths are NOT safe during this process.
The best part is that this keeps working, and it is very durable. using it on a dog will in no way bend the dull blades. They are not real blades, like a knife, but they are blades as in a row of metal pieces rounded off so as not to be sharp. Surprisingly simple, yet very effective...repeatedly.
As for cats, or your small indoor furry horse, I cannot say how well they take to it. But for my dog, this worked perfectly.
