"We got one of these from our vet but wanted a second one to keep with the hiking gear. Hadn't seen one elsewhere till we saw this one on Chewy. It works great for finding ticks in medium length fur. "

— Alexandria

"I ended up just combining and then plucking the fleas out with tweezers. It's not even a good comb just to comb fur as it just glides over it instead of through it. I bought this comb to remove fleas from a stray kitten, and while there were PLENTY of fleas for it to grab, it by passed the. All. Eve..."
