Step 1: Inspect your pet for any skin issues before starting. Brush the coat to remove knots, as using the tool on tangled hair can damage the bristles.

Step 2: Gently move the tool along the direction of hair growth, starting at the neck and moving toward the tail. Use long, gentle strokes, and avoid pressing too hard, especially on sensitive areas.
-
Step 3: Use the FURejector button regularly to clear away collected hair from the tool.
-
Step 4: After grooming, secure the FURminator’s teeth with the EdgeGuard for safe storage.
How to care for your FURminator:
- Always brush your pet before using the deShedding tool to avoid damaging the teeth.
- Handle the tool carefully and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces to prevent damage.
- Clean the tool with warm water and mild detergent, paying attention to dirt between the teeth. Use a soft brush if needed.
- Ensure the tool is completely dry before storing, and use the EdgeGuard to protect the blade during storage.
