We quantitatively discuss the influence of quenched disorder on the ferromagnetic quantum phase transition in metals, using a theory that describes the coupling of the magnetization to gapless fermionic excitations. In clean systems, the transition is first order below a tricritical temperature T_{tc}. Quenched disorder is predicted to suppress T_{tc} until it vanishes for residual resistivities ρ_{0} on the order of several μΩ cm for typical quantum ferromagnets. We discuss experiments that allow us to distinguish the mechanism considered from other possible realizations of a first-order transition.
