1. For best results, we recommend deShedding your pet immediately after washing and drying. Use only on a completely dry coat. Our extensive line of FURminator deShedding products are designed to promote healthy skin and coat and reduce excess shedding.
2. Before using the deShedding tool, perform a complete physical inspection of your pet. Remove tangles or mats with a FURminator Slicker Brush or Finishing Comb before using the deShedding tool. Look for sores, bruises and skin conditions, which may be concealed by his coat. If your pet has any of these conditions, seek treatment from a veterinarian before brushing.
3. Use the deShedding tool much like a brush and gently stroke across the pet’s coat in the direction of hair growth, angling the stainless steel teeth of the deShedding edge toward the coat. Start from the head and work your way back, using extra care near the pet’s stomach, legs, genitals and anus. Avoid making excessive strokes in a single area, instead using long, gentle strokes up and away from your pet’s skin. Deep or rough brushing can cause your pet’s skin to become red and irritated, so do not apply too much weight or downward pressure. If you notice any redness or irritation, discontinue use.
4. Remove excess hair from the teeth of the deShedding tool as you work by pushing the FURejector button.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the deShedding tool be used on all pets?
The deShedding tool may be used on most long- and short-haired pets, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, ferrets and other small pets. The edge is designed to make grooming pets faster and easier. The deShedding tool should not be used on non-shedding breeds or on pets with particularly sensitive skin.
How often and how long should I use the FURminator deShedding Tool?
We recommend using the FURminator deShedding tool 1-2 times a week for 10 to 20 minutes each session, though the actual time will vary depending on the breed of your pet and the condition of his coat. You may need to use the deShedding tool more frequently during heavy shedding seasons.
Where should I perform the grooming process?
The deShedding tool will remove a high volume of loose hair and undercoat, so for convenient cleanup, choose a location that is easy to vacuum or sweep, such as a tile floor indoors or outside. Or, use the FURminator vacuum accessory for easy clean up for use with the small, medium and large FURminator deShedding Tools. Always choose a location where your pet is comfortable and safe.
How do I take care of my deShedding tool?
- Be sure to keep the protective edge cover on the deShedding tool when it’s not in use.
- Take care not to drop the tool, as doing so may break the teeth, especially if the protective cover is not on the edge.
- Brush your pet before using the deShedding tool to remove any mats or tangles. Using the tool on matted or tangled fur can bend or break the teeth.
- You can clean the deShedding edge with warm water. A mild soap may be used if necessary. This can reduce the feeling of a dull edge due to dander collection in the teeth of the deShedding edge. Make sure to dry the deShedding edge completely before storing the tool with its protective cover.

I just bought a replacement Furminator from Amazon. There was some question about it being a fake. This has all the patent labels and trademarks of a Furminator and as far as I am concerned is the real thing. The spring action, feel, and weight are all identical to the original I purchased in a pet store--but at a more affordable price. And STILL worth every penny.
P.S. my missing Furminator still has not shown up. I suspect my kitties have created a shrine for it in some dark corner and are worshiping it.
============================
I lost my Furminator. Let the hairball regurgitation begin! It's peak of the shedding season with four cats, and any surface they lie on is blanketed with cat hair. I've seen reviews saying this costs too much, and I was hesitant to purchase it. However, even after paying full price in a pet store, I can tell you that I will replace the lost one with another of this brand--saving a few dollars here on Amazon.
After misplacing the Furminator, I tried the stack of brushes and combs of various types I used to use. None removed one tenth of the hair that Furminator does. Some were almost useless. I packed them away. I could have paid for a couple of Furminators easily and been much happier.
What's not to like about Furminator? Still, I'll mention a couple of caveats first. These would not prevent me from buying this tool; they are merely instructions for its proper use.
* The Furminator is heavy relative to other brushes (but not too much for my mildly arthritic wrists). This in combination with the sharp comb edge (which is necessary for fur removal) necessitates a gentle hand for more sensitive kitties and directly over the spine. My 18-year-old kitty was literally skin-and-bones the last couple of years of her life due to liver failure. She did not groom herself well, and the Furminator helped keep the previously frequent mats from forming. I had to be gentle in using it and dole out grooming sessions in small increments, as it has quite a "pull" to it. She was always a sensitive cat and more so in her late years.
The others love it and curl around my legs trying to out-compete each other for Furminator time. I'll make a confession here. I used an idle moment to comb one kitty with the Furminator while sitting in the bathroom once (Too much info, I know!) Now I can't get any peace in there with all the scratching at the door. They seem to think any time I walk into the bathroom is their grooming time.
* It is very efficient. You need to eject the hair frequently. This is a GOOD thing! I am constantly amazed at how fast the of hair piles up. Of course, how much depends on how frequently you remember to brush. The spring-loaded ejector button is very handy for ejecting the hair quickly one-handed, but you can just pull the hair out with your other hand easily.
* I read one review that said you had to know when to stop or you could create a bald patch. I haven't run into this, and I think it would take excessive grooming to take that much hair out. I brush a lot.
The results have been phenomenal: huge amounts of dead hair removed (the dry,undercoat, not the live, healthy hair); far fewer hairballs and stepping in vomitus in the night; less matting, especially in the long-haired kitty; less hair all over my bed and pillows. It's well-made and solid. I've owned mine for several months and use the long-hair type for my long- and short-haired kitties. I have not compared the Furminator for short-haired kitties. It is by far, one of the best inventions ever for the daily maintenance and health of my kitties and worth every penny. Oh, by the way, I am a retired veterinarian, so I guess you can add that it's veterinarian approved.
I have 2 large short-hair cats, one 20-lb, one 17-lb, and both shed like crazy, getting fur all over everything. I have tried a few deshedding brushes in the past with marginal rates of success. They all work a little, but never enough that I feel like it was worth the time I spent doing it. Especially since the larger cat HATES being brushed. With anything. Soft bristle, plastic comb, metal, rubber, anything. He howls like he is being tortured and killed and won't get anywhere near you if a brush is in reach. He's the most friendly cat I have ever seen, craves attention like a dog, and loves everyone... unless they have a brush. The other cat loves being brushed with the same passion with which the other hates it. He will lie there for you to pet for hours if you don't stop. Even food and treats don't compete for his love of being brushed, and a 17-lb cat loves food. I bought this brush for him so he could get happy brushing and I could get less fur on everything.
Unsurprisingly, he loved it as much as any brush, but what shocked me was how much fur it took out of the undercoat. I have never had a tool take off that much fur in one sitting. I took more fur off of him in a couple minutes than I ever have with hours using any other tool. It worked so well and so quickly that I tried it on the brush-hating cat as well. Even bigger shock than the amount of fur removed, was the fact that the other cat LOVED BEING BRUSHED with it! He's 11 years old now and has hated being brushed his entire life, but he now shoves the other cat out of my lap to get brushing attention! Now I have to find a way to switch the deshedder for a regular brush before he goes bald HAHA.
Seriously tho, it does look like it tugs a little as you brush, as the description mentioned, but the cats don't notice it at all. You don't need to put much pressure on it and my sensitive-skin cat has no problems with it whatsoever. They both love being brushed with this comb, and my house is a lot less furry. The undercoat brushes out in minutes and leaves the cats coats shiny, soft, and almost shed-free. An amazing product that I am so glad I tried.
