We love Bo, our Norwegian Elkhound dog, but there is definitely one thing we don’t love: His fur.

In other words, he sheds.

A lot.

He is a big dog with a thick, healthy double coat of long hair and with the heat and humidity that comes with the summer travel season, Bo lots of very visible traces of his presence behind.

That’s why we are so glad to have discovered the Furminator Pet De-Shedding Tool.

This is a very special brush. It's about $15 on Amazon tight now. We've seen t sometimes priced and well over $50 in pet stores.

But we think it’s worth every bit of that. The Stainless steel deShedding edge reaches deep beneath his topcoat to gently remove loose hair. One swipe and it makes you a believer. It reduces shedding better than any brush, rake or comb we’ve tried. The manufacturer says it reduces shedding by up to 90 percent and we believe it.

And Bo actually seems to like it. In the summertime, getting rid of all that excess fur and hair makes for a very happy travel buddy.

Mike and I like it because there is much less dog hair in the RV.

In short, the Furminator makes us all happy campers.
