Deshedding tools are a groomer's best friend," said Edmond, who has a Furminatorin her personal grooming tool kit. "It is so satisfying to use this on a husky or German shepherd during heavy shedding seasons."

Best dog grooming brushes: to deshed, detangle and remove mats

The Furminator Undercoat Deshedding Toolsafely and effectively removes loose, dead undercoat hair as well as dirt and debris. Kong ZoomGroom: This curry brush is soft and flexible with a cute design, but it just didn't beat out the other curry brushes I tested. You'll find a stainless steel brush head on all three of the products I chose for this deshedding tool comparison, which brings us to the third point that they have in common. On the brand’s TikTok, demonstration videos show animals getting the Groomi treatment. The transformation is incredible, even in double-coated dogs (including Alaskan Malamutes and pugs) that are known to have stubborn fur. Burt's Bees Double-Sided Pin & Hemp Bristle Brush: The Burt's Bees brush is attractive, but it's very small and it was clunky to use and the hemp bristles felt almost too stiff. This brush didn't really compare to the feel or performance of the Hartz Groomer's Best Combo Dog Brush.

Cons: Not ideal for all coat types; strap might be too tight for larger hands; brush can be slippery when wet

Pet owners are obsessed with the Groomi tool that reduces

For additional expertise on dog brushing, I talked with pet groomer Cassie Edmond, who is an animal caregiver at the San Diego Humane Society. Dog brushes come in different styles for different coats. To know which type of brush is best for your dog, first identify their coat type using the handy breakdown at the end of this guide. The final product chosen for my deshedding tool comparison is the Magic Pro deshedding tool from HappyDogz. This dog brush is equipped with a comfortable handle and a rubber grip. As you'll see in my video, the grip has rubber grooves that contour to your hand. The large groove at the top works as a thumb rest. As you can see in my video and photos, this tool works well on all three of our lovely ladies. When I spend money on a dog product, I try to find something that is going to meet the needs of all of our pets. Pair that with the comfortable grip and lightweight of the Magic Pro, and it's no wonder that this product wins this deshedding tool comparison. It has a removable head, same as the DakPets tool has, and is another one-size-fits-most deshedding tool.

This type of brush, which is also called a curry comb, is made of rubber or soft plastic. It has flexible nubs that remove dirt and loose hair from the coat. Curry brushes are also great in the bath when used to work shampoo deep into the coat, all while giving your dog a nice massage. Safety guards are a MUST HAVE when thinking about purchasing this type of tool. The teeth on these tools could cut someone, so you want to make sure they are covered at all times when the brush isn't in use. The high-quality angled stainless steel bristles reach through the top coat to remove loose undercoat hair without damaging the top. Designed to reduce shedding, detangle, remove debris and keep the pet’s coat shiny and healthy. The bristle design aids in deep-cleaning each hair. The manufacturer says it is suitable for all types of fur and sizes of dog. Safari Combo Brush for Dogs: This brush felt a little flimsy in the hand and didn't remove as much hair as some of the other combo brushes. The DakPets deshedding tool for dogs is much lighter, but it doesn't have an ergonomically designed handle. One thing that the DakPets tool has over the FURminator brush is its removable head. With the simple push of a button you can slide the head off for easy cleaning and safe storage.
