FURminator fur tool for long-haired toy dogs XS by FURminator

The FURminator fur tool for long-haired toy dogs XS by FURminator is a compact de-shedding grooming tool designed specifically for very small, long-coated toy breeds. Its narrow head and ergonomic handle fit comfortably in the hand and the working edge reaches the undercoat to remove loose hair while preserving the visible topcoat. The tool is intended for regular at-home grooming to reduce shedding, help prevent matting and maintain a cleaner indoor environment.

Advantages

The tool reduces loose undercoat effectively without cutting or damaging the outer coat, which helps maintain the natural appearance and texture of long hair. Its small size and balanced design offer precise control when working around delicate areas such as the face, ears and tail of toy breeds. Using this de-shedding tool regularly can decrease the amount of hair shed around the home and reduce the frequency of baths caused by loose hair accumulation.

• Reducing loose undercoat and household shedding
• Preventing light matting and tangles in long fur

Key specifications

How to use

Brush the dog first with a soft brush to remove surface tangles. Hold the FURminator fur tool at a shallow angle and make short, gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth, applying light pressure to reach the undercoat without cutting the topcoat. Work in small sections, checking the coat frequently and avoiding excessive passes over the same area. Pay special attention to sensitive zones—face, ears, belly and tail—and stop if the animal shows signs of discomfort. After grooming, run a soft brush through the coat to smooth and distribute natural oils.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool regularly according to your dog’s seasonal shedding: weekly during low-shed periods and more frequently during heavy shedding seasons. Combine with routine brushing and appropriate coat care products for long-haired toy breeds, and consult a professional groomer if mats or severe tangles are present before using the de-shedding tool.
