Usage
For best results, use the FURminator® Undercoat deShedding Tool 1-2 times a week for 10 to 20 minutes each session, though the actual time will vary depending on your pet’s breed, the condition of their coat, and the thickness of the pet’s individual coat. It may be necessary to use the Undercoat deShedding Tool more frequently during heavy shedding seasons. FURminator’s grooming edge is designed to make grooming pets faster and easier, while the Skin Guard® design allows the tool to glide over most pet skin.

Please read all instructions and FAQs carefully before beginning your grooming. Use the FURminator® Undercoat deShedding Tool only as directed. Undercoat deShedding is not the same as brushing or combing – it removes loose, dead hair from the undercoat without cutting or damaging the topcoat.*

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 your pet’s coat may conceal. If your pet has any of these conditions, consult a veterinarian before brushing. In addition, before using the Undercoat deShedding Tool, remove tangles or mats with the FURminator Adjustable deMatter 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 Skin Guard® 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.
