Directions For Use

  • Step 1: Undercoat deShedding can be performed at any time on a pet with a completely dry coat, but for best results, it is recommended to be performed immediately after washing or drying. FURminator brand's extensive line of grooming products is designed to promote healthy skin and coats in pets, and significantly reduce the amount of hair that is being shed into the house with regular use.
  • Step 2: Before using the undercoat deShedding tool, perform a complete physical inspection of your pet. Look for sores, bruises, and skin conditions, which your pet’s coat may conceal. If your pet has any of these conditions, seek treatment from a veterinarian before brushing. In addition, before using the undercoat deShedding tool, remove tangles or mats with FURminator Fur Dematting Tool or Grooming Rake.
  • Step 3: Use the undercoat deShedding tool much like a brush, gently stroking across the pet’s coat in the direction of hair growth, angling the stainless steel teeth towards the coat. Start from your pet’s head and work your way back, using extra care near the stomach, legs, genitals, and anus. Avoid making excessive strokes in a single area, instead use fewer long, gentle strokes up and away from your pet’s skin. Although the Skinguard design prevents digging in at edges and helps the undercoat deShedding tool slide over the skin, deep or rough brushing can still irritate pet skin, so avoid brushing with excessive pressure. If you notice any redness or irritation discontinue use.
  • Step 4: As undercoat hair is collected by your tool, excess hair can be removed from the teeth of the tool by pushing the FURejector button.

How to Use FURminator?

Using a FURminator correctly is important to ensure the safety and comfort of your dog while effectively reducing shedding. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Choose the Right Tool: Select the appropriate FURminator model based on your dog's coat length (short, medium, or long).
  2. Prepare Your Dog: Make sure your dog’s coat is clean and dry. Brush out any tangles or mats before using the FURminator.
  3. Find a Comfortable Spot: Place your dog in a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. Ensure you are in a location where loose fur can be easily cleaned up.
  4. Start Gently: Hold the FURminator tool in one hand and gently stroke your dog’s coat in the direction of hair growth. Apply light pressure to avoid irritating the skin.
  5. Work in Sections: Work in small sections, starting from the neck and moving toward the tail. Be extra gentle around sensitive areas like the belly and legs.
  6. Use Short Strokes: Use short, gentle strokes to remove loose hair and undercoat. Avoid over-brushing the same area to prevent skin irritation.
  7. Empty the Tool: As the FURminator collects hair, press the FURejector button to release the fur from the tool. Dispose of the hair and continue grooming.
  8. Check for Redness or Irritation: Periodically check your dog’s skin for any signs of redness or irritation. If you notice any, stop using the tool and give your dog a break.
  9. Finish Up: Once you’ve covered the entire coat, give your dog a final brush with a regular brush to smooth the fur.
  10. Clean the Tool: After grooming, clean the FURminator tool according to the manufacturer’s instructions to keep it in good condition.

Using the FURminator once a week is usually sufficient for most dogs. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and consult with a veterinarian or professional groomer if you have any concerns.
