ABSTRACT:
An animal grooming apparatus for grooming an animal having a conduit for supplying a vacuum to the apparatus; a grooming tool for grooming a coat of the animal; a body portion fixed to the conduit and grooming tool; and an inlet having an open end in communication with the conduit, the inlet being flexibly attached to the conduit for following contours of the animal independent of the grooming tool, whereby debris from the coat of the animal dislodged by the grooming tool are evacuated through the open end of the inlet and conduit in communication therewith. In preferred implementations of the apparatus, the grooming tool is a curry comb and isolation hoods are provided to contain the debris within the apparatus. In a alternative embodiment, an air flow is supplied to the animal's coat instead of a vacuum.
