Bamboo Pet Center Dog De-Shedding Comb

A great comb short-haired pups

Bamboo Dog De-Shedding Comb: This comb has fine-toothed metal teeth, a non-slip grip, and a thumb rest. While it wasn’t suited to the Cavalier’s moderately long, silky coat – at least that’s what Bella and Twyla indicated when I tried it on them – but I thought it would be perfect for Barney, the small, short-haired dog down the street.

Barney’s person, Todd, thought the same thing. “I’ve been needing something like that,” he said. “Barney’s really shedding.” The next time I saw him, Todd thanked me profusely for the Bamboo Dog De-Shedding Comb. “It really got out a lot of hair, and he seems to like the feel of it – like he’s getting a massage or something.” Todd liked it too, not just because it worked but because it fit well in his hand.

I suggest that you keep two: one for the home and one for your dog’s car bag.

The Bamboo Dog De-Shedding Comb retails for $10-$14 and is available at pet retail-supply outlets. Contact Bamboo Pet Center at (877) 224-PETS (7387).
