Our review

This dual-sided grooming tool pairs a nine-tooth dematting side with a seventeen-tooth deshedding side on an extra-wide head, plus rounded teeth and a lightweight rubber grip the listing emphasizes for control. It targets mats, loose undercoat, and trapped dirt on dogs and cats, though severely neglected coats still need professional help rather than force at home.

Owners of German shepherds, doodles, and heavy shedders report large hair piles and easier sessions than with basic slicker brushes, especially when working slowly on the deshedding side. Many cats and dogs tolerate the rake when used gently, though fine-haired pets may snag more easily according to buyer notes, and short sessions work best on sensitive spots.

Reviewers warn against pressing too hard—sharp-feeling teeth can pull sensitive skin or fine hair. The listing’s marketing percentage for shedding reduction is not a guarantee in every coat type, and matted fur still may need a groomer or conditioner first. Store it safely; kids should be supervised around the teeth, and pause if your pet flinches or the coat tangles repeatedly.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Dual 9-tooth and 17-tooth sides for mats and undercoat
  • Extra-wide head covers more area per stroke
  • Rounded teeth designed to reduce scratching per listing
  • Lightweight nonslip rubber handle for long sessions

What to watch

  • Can pull or snag fine or short hair if used aggressively
  • Not a substitute for professional care on severe matting
  • Listing shedding claims vary by coat—results differ by pet
  • Teeth feel sharp to some owners if pressed too deep

Who it's for

  • Double-coated or thick-fur dogs and cats
  • Seasonal undercoat removal at home
  • Budget-minded owners who want two tools in one

The verdict

An easy add-on for heavy shedders when you work gently and stop if the coat snags. Pair with detangling spray or a groomer visit if mats are tight rather than forcing the nine-tooth side.
