Product Information
Full details
The Trixie Dog Metal Fine Teeth Comb is an essential grooming tool for dog owners looking to maintain a healthy, tangle-free coat for their pets. It is specifically designed to penetrate and smooth both the top coat and the dense base coat, making it an excellent choice for daily maintenance or de-shedding sessions; however, owners of dogs with extremely matted hair may need to use a detangler or slicker brush first as this comb is best suited for smoothing rather than intensive knot removal.

FAQs
Can I use this comb on a wet dog?
While it can be used on wet hair, it is generally more effective and less stressful for the dog to use it when the coat is dry.
Is this safe for puppies?
Yes, but use very light pressure as their skin is more sensitive than that of an adult dog.
How often should I groom my dog with this comb?
For most breeds, a quick daily grooming session is ideal to prevent knots from forming.
Does the handle get slippery?
No, the rubber grip is designed specifically to prevent slipping during use.
Can I use this on a cat?
While marketed for dogs, the fine teeth are suitable for many cat breeds, provided the size is appropriate for the animal.
Will the metal teeth rust?
The comb is durable, but you should avoid leaving it in water or a damp environment to ensure the longevity of the metal.
Troubleshooting
Teeth snagging on hair
Do not force the comb through tangles. Work in smaller sections or use a de-tangling spray first.
Difficulty reaching the base coat
Lift the top layer of fur with your free hand while gently combing the underlayer.
Accumulated oil or dirt on teeth
Use a fine-bristled brush with warm, soapy water to clean between the tines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This comb requires no assembly; it is ready to use out of the package. To keep the metal teeth in optimal condition, wipe them clean of hair and dander after every grooming session. If the comb becomes soiled, you may wash it with mild soapy water and a soft brush, but ensure the teeth are completely dried with a towel immediately afterward to prevent potential rust. Store the comb in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the rubber grip.
