When it comes time for shedding season, your house could look like a downright mess! Especially for those of us who have long-haired breeds, there is enough fur around the house to make us a coat! Right after we’re done vacuuming, the other half of the house is hairy once again. Dog combs are meant to de-stress and de-hair if you will, your house.
Now the question is which grooming tool is right for your dog or how do you select the best one? Here we have reviewed all popular models with their functionalities and associated a detailed buying guide to meet all your requirements about dog grooming.
FURminator Dog Undercoat Deshedding Tool
Some pups out there are double-coated. This means they have an undercoat of shorter fur and a longer topcoat. Dogs that look fluffier are usually double-coated. This squeegee looking tool is the perfect undercoat de-shedder. For furrier dogs, getting to the undercoat could be a tough task.
This comb reaches through the topcoat right into the undercoat to prevent any tangles and mats. Best used as a de-shedding tool for larger dogs with long hair, there is also an easy hair release button to get the hair off of the teeth of the comb. The ergonomic handle makes it easy to brush through your pup.
