Full Product Description

When loose undercoat starts turning up on every surface, a deshedding tool pulls more of it out while you brush. This one is a forged metal edge in a palm-sized body, and the same edge, turned over, scrapes water off a wet coat after a bath.

Two Jobs, One Edge

  • Deshedding: Fine teeth along a 4.7 in edge lift dead undercoat out from under the topcoat.
  • Water and sweat scraping: The smooth side pushes water off a soaked coat after a bath, which is how horse owners have used blades like this for decades. It cuts a long towel-dry down considerably on a thick-coated dog.

Why Pet Parents Love It

  • Wide 4.7 in edge: Covers more coat per stroke than a narrow comb.
  • Forged metal cutter head: The manufacturer specifies a high-hardness forged metal edge, not a stamped one.
  • Mechanically fixed, not glued: The blade is attached to the handle with metal fixings, so it does not work loose in use.
  • Palm-sized grip: A textured body you hold rather than a long handle to steer.
  • Dogs, cats and horses: The manufacturer rates it for all three.

How to Use

  1. Work out any tangles first with an ordinary brush, a deshedding edge is not a dematting tool.
  2. Glide it in the direction of hair growth in short strokes. Let the teeth do it; do not press.
  3. Do not go back over the same patch repeatedly.
  4. Clear the collected hair off the teeth as you go.

Grooming Note

Deshedding tools are for undercoat. Keep off broken or irritated skin, keep sessions short with a pet who is new to it, and stop if the skin starts to look pink.

Product in Action

See it working.

A 4.7 inch forged edge covers a lot of coat per stroke, and that pile beside it is one session on a thick-coated dog. Turn it over and the smooth side scrapes water off after a bath, the same trick horse owners have used for decades.

Why It Works

Made for the coat underneath.

The loose undercoat is the part that ends up on your floor. A wide fine-toothed edge lifts it out during an ordinary brushing session.

  • 4.7 in fine-tooth edge takes in more coat per stroke
  • Blade held to the body with metal fixings
  • Textured panel to keep hold of it mid-stroke
  • Palm-sized at about 5.7 x 2.7 x 1.4 in
  • Light, at about 3.3 oz
  • For dogs and cats

Every point above comes from this product's own specification.

How to Use

How to use it.

1

Detangle first

Work any knots out with an ordinary brush before you start. A deshedding edge is for loose undercoat, not for breaking mats.

2

Glide, do not press

Short strokes with the direction of hair growth. Let the teeth do the work and do not go back over the same patch repeatedly.

3

Or scrape it dry

After a bath, turn it over and use the smooth side to push the water off the coat. Wipe the edge dry when you are finished.

Ready when you are.

Care & Cleaning

How to keep it in good order, as the manufacturer states it.

After each session

Pull the collected hair off the teeth and wipe the edge dry. A metal blade left wet will mark.

Washing

Rinse the edge under warm water if it has been used on a wet or muddy coat, then dry it immediately and thoroughly.

Do not

Soak it or put it in a dishwasher. Water sitting in the joint between blade and body is what starts corrosion.

Storage

Dry, and with the teeth not pressed against anything hard.
