ABSTRACT:
A device connectable to a vacuum source for loosening, gathering and suction removal of pet hair and the like from the pet and for simultaneous gentle pet massage. The device is molded as a single integral unit formed of resilient elastomeric material such as silicone and includes a plurality of spaced flexible conical shaped members downwardly extending from its main body. The lower tips of these conical members define a lower working surface and serve to simulate and gather loose pet hair, dander, skin flakes and the like while simultaneously massaging the pet. This debris is suctioned into an elongated downwardly open suction channel formed partially into a lower surface of, and extending along substantially the entire length of the main body. The suction channel extends downwardly below the lower surface of the main body toward but not to the working surface to establish a clearance gap for enhanced vacuum suctioning of the debris into the suction channel. One end of the suction channel is closed while the other end thereof is open, extending into a tubular extension to establish suction communication with a vacuum cleaner hose and the like. Enhanced gripping structural features formed into the body are also provided.
