Wooden Handle Undercoat Rake Comb

Long, dense coats trap loose undercoat close to the skin, where a regular brush skims over the top. This rake has a stainless steel head and a wooden handle, and it is meant for large dogs with thick coats. The rake is built to work down through the coat rather than only smoothing the surface.

The tool measures 7.8 x 6.3 in (19.7 x 16 cm) and weighs about 4.2 oz (120 g), and the package comes to 9.8 x 5.5 x 1.6 in (25 x 14 x 4 cm) and 4.9 oz (140 g). The wooden handle gives a firm, comfortable grip, although wood does not like long soaks in water, so keep the handle dry.

Brush in the direction of hair growth, in short strokes, and hold the skin down near the roots so you do not tug. Work a small section at a time and stop if your dog seems uncomfortable. Lift loose hair from the teeth after every few strokes and clean the comb afterward. Wipe the steel dry and store the rake with the teeth protected so they do not get bent.
