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 are 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 you 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 using 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 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.

FAQs

1. Does the steel edge ever need to be replaced? If so, where can I get one? Thanks!
The stainless-steel edge is not removable. Be careful not to drop or place the undercoat deShedding tool where it can fall, as it may result in damage to the tool’s teeth. The deShedding edge can be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap if necessary. Cleaning can reduce the feeling of a dull edge by reducing dander collection on the teeth of the deShedding edge. Dry the undercoat deShedding tool completely before storing.

2. How often should I use it?
We recommend using the FURminator deShedding Tool 1-2 times a week for 10-20 minutes each session. You may need to use the deShedding Tool more frequently during heavy shedding seasons.
Does ejector button release the air itself or do you need to use hand to pull out hair from furminater?
The FUREJECTOR® BUTTON releases hair with ease, making deShedding easier than ever.

3. Can this be used on single coated dogs?
Some breeds have coat textures that vary between individual dogs. Not all dog breeds shed. If your dog sheds, the FURminator deShedding Tool will work on your dog.

4. Do these teeth have actual cutting blades on them or are they just pointy teeth?
This tool does not have cutting blades. This tool reaches through the topcoat to remove loose undercoat hair. Before using the undercoat deShedding tool, it is recommended to remove tangles or mats with FURminator® Fur Dematting Tool or Grooming Rake.

5. Where is this brush manufacturered?
The FURminator tool is assembled in the USA.
