Choosing pet deshedding tools

Match the working surface to the animal's coat type and the grooming task. Compare pin, tooth or bristle spacing, the size of the contact area and the way the tool is held.

Useful details to compare include coat compatibility, working-surface dimensions, pin or tooth spacing, handle or glove fit, and cleaning access. Use product-specific measurements and compatibility details to narrow the choice for your setup.

Match the design to your setup

When comparing dog coat stripping tools, check the listed dimensions, intended use and care instructions for each individual design.

Read the maker's handling and coat-compatibility guidance, and check how collected hair is removed and the tool is cleaned.
