Extra-Large Red Deshedding Rake Comb for Large Dogs

This extra-large rake comb is made for big dogs with thick coats, the type that shed heavily in spring and fall. The rake head is stainless steel and the body is plastic, and the finish is red. It is sold with large breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Huskies and German Shepherds in mind.

Exact dimensions and tooth length are not given, so judge the size by the name: it is the extra-large version, meant to cover more coat with each pass than a standard comb. If your dog has a short or fine coat, test gently on a small area first.

Brush with the direction of growth in long, light strokes, and lift out tangles gently rather than dragging through them. Keep sessions short and rewarding, and stop if your dog pulls away or the skin looks irritated. Clear the loose hair from the rake after each pass, and wipe the steel dry when you are done. Brushing outdoors keeps the shed fur off your floors.
