Usage Instructions

Please read all instructions and FAQs carefully before you begin. Use the FURminator deShedding Tool only as directed.

1. Be sure your horse is COMPLETELY DRY.

2. Because the FURminator deShedding Tool will extract an abundance of hair, position your horse in an open area.

3. With the edge and teeth of the tool angled toward the coat of your horse, GENTLY pull the tool across the coat in the direction of the horse’s hair growth. Use the tool like a hair brush and use long, gentle strokes with the tool. Avoid repeated strokes in the same area. Be extra careful near the horse’s most sensitive areas (face, stomach, legs, genitals and anus). DO NOT APPLY TOO MUCH WEIGHT OR DOWNWARD PRESSURE as you comb through the horse’s coat. Deep or rough brushing can cause the horse’s skin to become red and irritated. Horses with sensitive skin may suffer brush burn even with light combing. If you notice any redness or irritation on your horse’s skin, immediately stop using the tool.

Precision Tool Selection

Not all animals were created equal which makes FURminator the best choice when it comes to deShedding solutions. Simply select the tool that matches your cat’s body size then select either the short hair or long hair edge for a truly customized grooming experience. Matching each cat to the ideal tool significantly enhances deShedding results.

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.
