What the label does not say

There's no coat-length limit given beyond "smooth, short and wiry", so for a long or curly coat this probably isn't the right tool — the makers don't confirm either way, so we're going on the coat types they do list.

Why we chose it

One tool that opens and closes for different-sized areas means fewer things in the grooming drawer. It's aimed squarely at short and wiry coats, so we'd point a long-haired dog's owner elsewhere first.

— Matt, founder

Full description

Different parts of a dog's body need different amounts of tool — a small patch behind the ears wants something compact, while a whole flank benefits from a wider sweep, and most deshedding tools only really do one of those well.

This blade solves that by opening and closing: closed, it suits small dogs or targeted spots; opened up, it covers larger areas like the back in fewer passes. The shallow, spiked teeth strip loose and dead hair from smooth, short and wiry coats.

What the label does not say. There's no coat-length limit given beyond "smooth, short and wiry", so for a long or curly coat this probably isn't the right tool — the makers don't confirm either way, so we're going on the coat types they do list.

Who it's for: owners of a smooth, short or wiry-coated dog who want one tool that adjusts between a small area and a larger one, rather than switching brushes.
