Anybody using this brush? Getting awesome reviews but a bit expensive if it doesn't work all that well.

I have one and got it off ebay for about $20. It works great!

I bought one off amazon for $20 as well. I use it about once a month and works great for me.

someone i know said that it ruins long coat dogs hair patterns, that way it grows back or something.

Go on ebay for the best prices on furminators. I think I spent about $12 shipped for a large.

I know quite a few people with long-coats who don't use it for this reason. I don't use it on Jazz who is long-coat in case there is some merit to that point. I only use it on Bunny and it does a great job!

I have one and use it almost every day and I love it.
You have to be gentle with it though, not like a regular brush.

wow, lot of replies quick. Thanks.

What size should I get? 95 pound boy.

Yes, it works great for getting out loose coat. Do use a light hand with it, as you can remove more coat than you want if you use a heavy hand. I like the wider sizes for big dogs, and the smaller/narrower ones for small dogs or cats.
