Question

                  Thanks, Chris

Answer
Hello Chris, it is actually called the furminator.  It is not so much a brush as a tool similar to a clipping blade.  For years groomers have used just a clipping blade and called it carding... Now there is this tool and it is designed to remove undercoat. And yes it does a great job.  This is for double coated pets, it can be used on dogs as well as cats.  Keep in mind it does require a good emount of elbow grease.  Becareful not to stay in once spot or place to long as you can irritate the skin.  And you may find that Your arm will get tired and give out before the undercoat does.  Use it often and you will see a difference in shedding around the house.  Here is the website for more information.
