The comb features long, rotating teeth set into an ergonomic handle designed for a comfortable grip while grooming. Smooth teeth glide through fur to catch fleas and loose debris without pulling or scratching the skin, and the same pass-through motion can reveal dry, flaky patches or other coat irregularities early on. Mats and tangles should be worked out of the coat beforehand so they do not catch on or damage the teeth. During use, the comb is worked slowly through the fur with periodic checks of the teeth for trapped fleas, paying close attention to the ears, nape of the neck, and base of the tail. Dipping the comb into a cup of water mixed with a small amount of mild detergent between strokes helps remove and eliminate any fleas caught in the teeth. The tool ships as a single comb with no assembly needed.
