Double-Sided Detangling Comb for Dogs and Cats

You find the knot behind his ear, get the comb into it, and one tug later he's up and walking away. The session is over before it started. Curved teeth change that, because they open a mat from the inside instead of dragging it.

This double-sided detangling comb carries curved stainless steel teeth on both faces of the head: a wide-set side that opens mats and knots, and a denser side that lifts loose undercoat. You turn it over rather than reaching for a second tool.

Two jobs on one head:

• Wide side for mats: curved teeth work into a knot and open it out instead of dragging the whole tangle across the skin
• Fine side for shedding: lifts loose floating hair out of the coat in a single pass
• Anti-scratch tips: the teeth are curved and rounded so they glide over skin rather than catching it
• Peels clean by hand: the collected fur comes off the blades in one piece, no button and no picking
• Non-slip handle: a textured grip that holds through a long session on a matted coat

Curved teeth, not straight ones. A straight tooth meets a knot side on and pulls. These enter the mat and open it from the inside, the difference between a dog that sits through the session and one that leaves after the first tug.

Gentle against the skin. The blades sit in rows with rounded outer edges, so the head rests flat on the coat and doesn't scrape the skin underneath even where the fur is thin.

Clean it in one motion. When the blades pack up with fur, pull the whole mat off by hand and drop it in the trash. Rinse the head under the faucet if the coat was damp or dirty.

One comb for the whole house. Dog hair and cat hair come off the same way, so the comb that does the retriever also does the longhaired cat. It comes in blue or pink, with identical blades on both.

Getting the size right

One size in two colors. The head carries nine curved teeth on the wide side and a denser row on the fine side, on a handle sized for one hand.

It suits dogs and cats of any size, because you work a small area at a time rather than sweeping the whole coat.

Start with the wide side on the knots behind his ears in short strokes, and he stays put for the whole session instead of walking off after the first pull.
