Considering this, does FURminator damage coat?

If you are overzelous during use or use it too often, then yes, the furminator will damage the coat. You can damage the coat if you also use it a wet or damp coat. I use it about once a month but use it more often when Phoenix is in full on coat blow to keep up with the shedding.

Additionally, can you Furminate too much? Yes, there is such a thing as too much Furminator. That happened once to my Bridge Kid, Maggie. I learned from that to use a light hand and only on the areas where you can actually see the undercoat shedding out, like on sides of the rump. I never use it on his back, chest or tail.

Beside this, does the FURminator cut the coat?

The FURminator deShedding tool removes any coat that has shed from your dog's skin. Since the FURminator deshedding tool doesn't cut the hair of the topcoat, the undercoat is still able to breathe and regulate your pet's body temperature.

How often should you brush your dog with the FURminator?

We recommend using the FURminator deShedding Tool 1-2 times a week for 10-20 minutes each session. You may need to use the deShedding Tool more frequently during heavy shedding seasons. Before each use, you will want to read the deShedding Tool instructions completely. Also, your dog should be free of mats and tangles.
