What it does

The deShedding edge passes through the topcoat to collect loose undercoat hair. It is not a blade for cutting mats and should never be forced through tangles.

Select the exact tool

Dog and cat versions, size ranges, and short- or long-hair models are not interchangeable. Use the current manufacturer selector and consider asking a professional groomer whether your pet’s coat is appropriate.

Safe technique

Work on a clean, completely dry, unmatted coat. Use light strokes in the direction of hair growth and stop if the skin becomes red or the pet shows discomfort. Short sessions are safer than repeatedly working the same area.

When not to groom at home

Seek veterinary or professional grooming help for painful mats, skin sores, sudden hair loss, parasites, or a pet that cannot tolerate handling safely.
