Can you replace the blade on a FURminator?

Response from Furminator: We are very sorry to hear of you and your dogs experience. The FURminator deShedding tool is not a cutting tool and does not need sharpening or replacement edges.

Can you brush too much with FURminator?

You can kind of overdo it. It pulls out the undercoat, which normal brushes don’t typically do, but once the undercoat is thinned out, it can start grabbing topcoat. I don’t use my furminator for every brushing. I’ll use it maybe once a week at the most and use a regular brush until the next time.

How often should you use a FURminator?

For best results, use the FURminator undercoat deShedding tool 1-2 times a week for 10 to 20 minutes each session, though the actual time will vary depending on your pet’s breed, the condition of their coat, and the thickness of the pet’s individual coat.

Can I shave my dog to stop shedding?

Get Control Over Shedding There’s no way to completely stop shedding. It’s a healthy and natural process that is necessary for dogs.
