Highlighted Reviews

β€” Karen

"This blade works fantastic. My horses have unusually heavy coats & I dread the spring decoating. The firm plastic & blade worked quickly in removing the hair no flinching noted. The horses followed me around for more grooming."

β€” D

"It’s more aggressive than I need for my dogs and even trying to get loose hair off my NDG goats this spring I’m not sure it even felt good on the ones that liked to be brushed because it doesn’t have deep teeth. It doesn’t suit my needs, but maybe it will work for you."

Bottom Line

This tool is a strong contender for those needing a durable and effective shedding comb, especially for larger animals.
