FAQs
How often should I use the Liveryman Shedding Comb?
The frequency depends on your pet's breed and shedding cycle. For pets that shed regularly, using the comb 1-3 times per week can help manage loose hair. During heavy shedding seasons, you might need to use it more frequently.
Will this comb remove mats?
This comb is designed to remove loose undercoat and shed hair, not severe mats. For matted fur, you should use a detangling comb or rake first, and only use the shedding comb once the coat is free of tangles.
Can I use this comb on my short-haired cat?
While it can help remove loose hair, it might be less effective on very short coats compared to longer, thicker fur. It's best suited for pets with a noticeable undercoat.
What are the dimensions of the comb?
The comb measures approximately 13.5 cm in length and 10 cm in width.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
The comb is designed to be gentle, but always monitor your pet for any signs of irritation. Avoid pressing too hard, especially on areas with thinner skin.
How do I clean the comb?
After removing loose hair, you can wash the comb with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Comb not removing enough hair
Ensure the comb is being used on a clean, dry coat. For very dense undercoats, you may need to make multiple passes or use a different tool for initial de-matting if necessary. Check that the comb's teeth are not clogged with hair.
Pet seems uncomfortable during grooming
Gently introduce the comb and start with short grooming sessions. Avoid applying excessive pressure, especially on sensitive areas. Ensure there are no tangles or mats that the comb might snag. If discomfort persists, consult a professional groomer.
Hair pulling or snagging
This indicates a potential tangle or mat. Do not force the comb through. Try to gently detangle the area with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb before using the shedding comb. Ensure you are holding the fur at the base to reduce tension on the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The comb is ready for immediate use out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This comb is generally suitable for dogs and cats with medium to long fur, particularly those with a significant undercoat. It is most effective on healthy coats and may not perform optimally on very short, wiry, or heavily matted fur. Always introduce new grooming tools gently to your pet.
Care: To maintain the comb's effectiveness and hygiene, clean it after each use. Remove accumulated hair by hand or using a brush. For a deeper clean, wash the comb with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
