Many moons ago, we reviewed the Equigroomer cat-shedding brush.  I recently published a newer video about it.  And many viewers have asked whether or not the Equigroomer cuts the pet’s hair. 

I know why they are asking this, of course.  Once upon a time, I made the HUGE mistake of brushing my parents’ cat, Caymus, with the Furminator and completely ruined the LOOK of his coat. 

Yes, that’s right.  I didn’t ruin Caymus’s coat – but I ruined the look of it. Why?  The Furminator has razor blades that cut the fur and remove even the healthy hair – so you are left with a dull-looking coat.  It does the job of getting rid of fur, but it does more than you want it to.

That’s why I like a brush like the Equigroomer – it does not cut the fur – instead, it pulls out the dead stuff.  An extra bonus is that my Ragdoll cats, Charlie and Trigg, who hate to be groomed, will tolerate the Equigroomer for quite a while. With the Equigroomer, they’ll tolerate it for 5-10 minutes vs. 5-10 seconds with other combs or brushes.
