The Precious Tails Deshedder tool is made by groomers for pawfessional results. It is a high-quality grooming tool that features a stainless-steel steel blade that gets into your pet's undercoat but gentle enough on the skin to prevent irritation. The tool works by removing undercoat, loose hair, and dander from their coat to help prevent matting. It helps reduce shedding and pet odor, leaving your pets coat soft and shiny. Regular brushing also helps stimulate the production of natural skin oils. The ergonomic, on-slip handle is designed to fit easily in your hand for maximum control without strain or fatigue. Keep your cat/dog looking and feeling great! Before you start to a deshedding session for your pet, it is recommended to wash and dry them. If your pet's coat has large knots or tangles, remove these first prior to bathing. Start brushing your pet using smooth and even strokes.
