- Comfortable Handling: It features an ergonomic, soft-grip, non-slip handle, making it comfortable to hold and easy to use, which helps reduce hand fatigue during grooming.
- Versatile Use: In addition to flea removal, the tool also helps detangle matted fur, remove loose hair and dirt, and can be used around sensitive areas like the beard and eyes to remove debrS
Usage Guidelines
To use the Andis Flea Comb effectively, follow these steps:
- Position Your Pet: Ensure your dog or cat is standing or sitting in a comfortable position.
- Comb Slowly: Comb through the pet’s hair slowly, starting at the end of the fur and moving upwards, separating the fur into sections if needed.
- Inspect the Comb: After each stroke, inspect the comb for live fleas or “flea dirt” (flea feces).
- Dispose of Fleas: Place any live fleas you find into a bowl of soapy water to kill them.
- Identify Flea Dirt: If you find dirt that might be flea dirt, place it on a wet paper towel; it will turn red if it is indeed flea feces.
- Clean the Comb: Regularly remove hair and debris from the comb during the grooming session for maximum effectiveness and clean the comb thoroughly after each use to maintain hygiene.
