The JW® GripSoft® Shedding Comb has metal teeth in two different lengths specially designed to lift shedding hair from the undercoat & to loosen lightly matted portions of fur. JW combs are specially designed with the teeth turned 90 degrees away from the skin to keep the teeth parallel to the skin while combing. This prevents "raking" the skin while combing & is more comfortable for your pet.
