Full details
The Trixie Coat Untangler is an essential grooming tool for dog owners looking to maintain their pet's coat health, effectively removing loose hair and preventing painful matting. Designed with medium-sized, rounded metal teeth, it reaches deep into both the top coat and undercoat to ensure a thorough groom, though it may require extra patience for pets with extremely dense or severely matted fur.

FAQs
Is this comb safe for puppies?
Yes, the rounded teeth make it gentle enough for young dogs, though you should always brush lightly to get them used to the sensation.
Can I use this on cats?
While designed for dogs, the gentle rounded teeth are generally safe for most pets, but consider the size of the 22cm tool relative to the size of your cat.
How often should I use the untangler?
For best results and to prevent matting, daily or at least several times a week is recommended.
Will this tool remove the undercoat?
Yes, the medium teeth are specifically designed to reach through the top coat to remove loose fur from the undercoat.
Is the handle waterproof?
The handle is water-resistant, but prolonged submersion should be avoided to protect the internal construction of the tool.
Troubleshooting
The comb gets stuck in thick fur
Ensure you are brushing in smaller sections rather than pulling through the entire length of the coat at once.
Grip feels slippery during use
Wipe the rubberized handle with a dry cloth to remove any natural oils or hair product residue that may have accumulated.
Difficulty removing trapped hair between tines
Use a specialized pet hair rake or a spare toothbrush to dislodge stubborn fur from the base of the metal tines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This comb is ready to use straight out of the packaging and requires no assembly. It is primarily designed for dogs of various sizes. To ensure longevity, remove trapped hair from the metal tines after every grooming session. If the comb becomes soiled, you can rinse it in warm water with a mild, pet-safe shampoo; ensure the tool is completely dry before storing it to prevent any potential oxidation of the metal components. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the rubberized handle.
