For years, a professional groomer (Angie Porter, co-founder) had been attempting to find the best tool to combat shedding.
After over a decade of using every possible device in the industry, she worked with her husband (David Porter, co-founder) to develop a new type of tool that didn't cut the pet's coat. They created a unique tool to grab and remove the loose undercoat.
Together they experimented with placing this stainless steel deShedding edge in a crude handle. Little by little they experimented with different, more-ergonomic handle designs and more-effective edges.
After many modifications they arrived at their most successful design and patented the FURminator deShedding Tool.
And the rest of the FURminator story is, as they say, history - but it's an exciting, ongoing history.
