FURminator deShedding Tool

FURminator is a world-renowned brand in the pet care industry, recognized for inventing the deShedding tool category. The brand was founded in the United States by Angie Porter, a professional groomer, and her husband David Porter in 2002. They sought to create a tool that effectively reached through the topcoat to remove loose hair and undercoat without cutting the skin or damaging the topcoat.

While the brand's creative development and engineering roots remain in the United States, manufacturing is primarily centered in China to meet global demand. The brand's journey through ownership reflects its massive market success, having been acquired first by private equity and later by various conglomerates. As of the 2020s and looking toward 2026, the brand is firmly under the ownership of Spectrum Brands Holdings.

Spectrum Brands, an American diversified global hardware and home improvement company, manages FURminator within its Global Pet Care division. This positioning allows the brand to maintain its professional-grade quality while benefiting from Spectrum's massive distribution network reaching pet owners across every continent.
