Use the FURminator deShedding Tool only as directed.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.Precision Tool SelectionNot all cats were created equal which makes FURminator the best choice when it comes to deShedding solutions.

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unexpected amazing find! Worth every penny!
*by A***E on February 26, 2013*

I cannot express how amazing this tool is without sounding like a TV commercial or like they paid me off. They didn't, in fact, I bought this brush a couple days before its price dropped by more than half (sad truth). But this deshedding comb has exceed my expectations to an extent I had not thought possible.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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SEE UPDATE: Is it sick to be in LOVE with a cat-brush?  Wow!!! And GREAT price ($18) on Amazon; $43 at Petko
*by A***C on September 30, 2013*

UPDATE: My original review below still stands, but I want to let everyone know, please do not overdue it with this brush unless you want a hairless kitty-cat. I was brushing my cat every other day with this, only for a few minutes and he really seemed not to mind it. But after the first week (I probably used it three or four times until I stopped getting huge mounds of hair...), I noticed a bald spot a little bit smaller than the size of a dime on his back, right in the middle. Upon a closer look, I also noticed that his coat was very thin all along the entire top of his back (his sides and bottom were fine). Although the skin did not seem irritated in any way and he wasn't scratching, I was pretty concerned....I did some research on "Fuminators" and "bald spots" and heard that this was common with some cats only if you overused it. They said the bald spot should grow back hair relatively quickly (and it did). So, no more Furminator until the hair on his back gets fuller, and only then will I used it only once every few weeks, concentrating mainly in the sides where the hair is fuller.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've gone through lots of different cat brushes (nylon, rubber, metal tipped etc.) and although they do an OK sort of job in getting some of the top cat hair, I was constantly dealing with cat hair all over my stove, furniture, glass top tables etc. In NO WAY did they remove the amount of hair (the top coat and the undercoat) that the Furminator removed.After once use of the Furminator, all I can say is WOW. Only two minutes of "gently" brushing along his back and sides, I easily removed enough hair to make a new cat.....Yes, I cloned my cat with this......he was looking at the mound of fur with one of those "...and WTF is THIS" look. And the comb is super easy to clean, too. After a few stokes of this thing, you can easily pull off the entire wad of hair from the comb and then immediately get back to Furminating. I take the tufts of hair and throw them out the window (I'm on the 31st floor, so they're probably ending up clogging some sewer pipe in the City). Anyway, I did about three 1-2 minute brushing sessions, and I could definitely see the difference it made, with no more noticeable loose hair laying on the stove top or counter tops days later(e.g., also when I would pet him and scratch his back, I didn't see any of those loose hairs flying off of his back or tail, either) scratching him). Amazing.This brush is also very comfortable to hold, very sturdy and well made. Although some folks are saying that this version is not the "real thing", let me tell you...this is one very excellent copy! As far as I can see, this $18.00 brush is EXACTLY the same (even including the packaging) as the $45 one sold at other pet stores.Note: Just as an aside, my cat really does not love getting his hair brushed, period. Like me at work, he just sort of tolerates the experience, so I really need to work fast (i.e., he doesn't hate it, he just won't lay down long enough and let me comb him properly...he let's me get two or three strokes in before he starts squirming and rolling around, or getting up and trying to walk away, making me constantly follow after him to get in a quick brush or two), but again, that's with any brush, not just the Furminator.
