A generally tubular unit has a filter and a vacuum adjustment valve with a vacuum gauge, the unit being attached at one end to a vacuum source and at the other end to a vacuum hose leading to a vacuum head unit. A vacuum head is in the general shape of a mitt. A suction grooming portion of the head has a wavy rim defining a mitt-shaped suction plenum covered by a grid formed of arrowhead configured grid elements. The grid elements attach at valleys between peaks between outward-extending peaks. The suction grooming portion forms a hose attachment at the mitt wrist.

Another suction head is provided in the shape of a flattened trumpet bell having a grid for contact with the coat of a pet.
