The FURminator® Undercoat deShedding Tool for medium-sized and large cats with long hair reduces loose hair from shedding up to 90%. It also helps to reduce hairballs. The stainless steel deShedding edge reaches through the topcoat to safely and easily remove loose, dead hair and undercoat. This allows for deShedding without damaging the topcoat or cutting the skin, when the tool is used as directed. The special Skin Guard® glides over your cat's skin and prevents digging in at the edges. Moreover, the curved edge conforms to a pet’s natural build and shape for comfort. The FURejector® button releases the collected excess hair with ease, making deShedding easier than ever. When the tool is stored, the Edge Guard protects the teeth to ensure the durability of this high quality product. Thanks to the ergonomic handle of the FURminator® Undercoat deShedder, deShedding is comfortable for pet parents as well. A quality deShedding Tool like the FURminator® Undercoat deShedding Tool removes significantly more loose hair than a standard comb or brush. For best results, use weekly for 10-20 minutes and even more frequently during the shedding season. FURminator® provides grooming confidence with the ideal tools for professional grooming at home.

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 shedding 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 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® 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.
