"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. "
"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.
