ABSTRACT:
An improved tool for grooming pets, especially for the removal of loose hair and hair that is soon to become loose, comprised of a base (10) with comb extensions (12,14) mounted on either side at an angle of less than 90 degrees to the base. The comb extensions (12,14) are comprised of tines extending from a solid backbone or shoulder (16) that protrudes from the base (10). The comb extensions (12) on one side of the base have tines that are larger and spaced further apart than the tines of the comb extensions (14) on the other side of the base. A cleaning tool (18) comprised of a base (20) with tines (22) protruding therefrom is held in a compartment (24) on the side of the invention when not in use. As the invention is stroked through the hair of the animal, the angle of the comb extensions (12,14) causes a deep and prolonged penetration of the coat. When the hair passing between the tines of a comb extension comes into contact with the shoulder (16), the hair is compressed, generating friction or pulling force that not only removes hair that is loose but also hair that is still connected to the skin but about to become loose. Other embodiments include one with comb extensions mounted on removable panels (16) that slide onto a base (10) by way of grooves (28) on either side of the base. This embodiment allows for a wider range of comb extension types available for one base.
