Handy Tool for Heavy Shedders
I just received this and tried it out on our cattle dog, who sheds an insane amount of fur when the weather is hot as it has been here this summer. The tool with the plastic teeth works very well on her. The teeth provide just enough space to ensure the vacuum hose never suctions onto the skin. We have a bagless vaccuum with a see-through canister, so I could see how much fur was being brushed off. (Filled half a canister in a five minute session.) We also have the Furminator, which works really well but has to be used outside to avoid making a huge mess of dog fur. This tool will come in very handy when the weather turns bad and brushing indoors becomes a necessity.

Great Tool Set
I have six little dogs with different coat lengths. I bought this set to (hopefully) give myself a leg up on controlling the pet hair in my home. I figured why not get the loose hair off the dog first? Maybe I can vacuum a little less frequently than every day.
The tool set is great! It comes with a brush for short-haired pets, and a comb for long-haired pets. Since I have both, I was able to give both a try. My initial impression is WOW! A lot of loose hair came off the dogs and went into the vacuum bag instead of onto my couch and carpeting.
The brush and comb are both well constructed from heavy duty plastic. They fit snugly onto my standard Hoover canister hose with no adaptor....my vacuum is a standard size so it should fit most canister vacs and shop vacs (1 1/4" hose) right out of the box. It also includes an adaptor for what looks to be "euro" model canisters like Miele. I did not test that since my vacs are all standard 1 1/4" hoses.
If you...
Hair litter
This product seems to be working very well. It fits on our vacuum with the special attachment just fine and once we got our dog to not be afraid of the vacuum cleaner, all went well. He actually seems to enjoy it now. Thanks.
