Is the Furminator Ruining Your Pet’s Coat? (4 of 4)

The Right Solutions

The Furminator has become popular because it produces dramatic results. But you should never equate “dramatic” with “healthy.” A well-maintained double coat doesn’t need to be cut or aggressively stripped. Regular brushing, proper bathing, and professional deshedding techniques are the three keys to removing dead undercoat while preserving the coat’s natural structure. The goal here isn’t to make shedding disappear for a few weeks, it’s to protect the long-term health and function of your dog’s coat. For this reason, you should think twice before using your Furminator again.
