Double-Sided Dematting and Deshedding Comb

Thick coats collect knots, and shedding seasons leave fur on every surface in the house. This comb has two working sides: one for working through tangles and mats, and a denser side that pulls out loose undercoat before it ends up on the sofa. It is meant for long-haired, double-coated, curly and thick-coated dogs and cats.

The teeth are curved stainless steel with rounded tips, set in a plastic handle. You can choose green or gray in size S or L; the two sizes suit different coat lengths and hand sizes, though no measurements are given, so choose the larger comb for a big dog with a dense coat.

Brush in the direction of hair growth in short, gentle strokes, and hold the skin steady with your free hand so the comb does not tug. Start at the tips of a tangle and work toward the skin rather than pulling through a knot, and stop if your pet pulls away, since a tight mat can be sore. Very tight mats may need a groomer.

Pull hair from the teeth after use, wipe the steel dry and store it with the teeth protected.
