Shedding Blade

Some pets love it and others loathe it but grooming your pet is vital to helping them to remain both healthy and clean. It is also an exceptionally good bonding activity. To aid this a long lasting, safe and sturdy shedding blade tool is essential. With this dog shedding blade your pet can enjoy/tolerate hours of quality grooming.

Ancol’s ergonomic shedding blade has been designed to strip loose and dead hair from your pets coat. The body of the tool is made of strong plastic to ensure that the tool is long lasting and solid. It has an ergonomic handle to aid grip, comfort and flexibility to the groomer.

The tool can be used either open or closed and has two sizes of teeth. For safety the blade has shallow spiked teeth rather than a razor. The shedding blade tool is ideal for short, smooth and wiry coats.

The manufacturer recommends the following instructions for use:

To use the blade, gently brush the hair in the direction of the fur growth. The teeth of the blade pull away loose hairs. The blade can be opened up by pulling both sides of the handle in opposing directions. Use when closed for small dogs or smaller areas on the dog’s body, or opened up to remove loose hairs from larger areas such as down the dog’s back. To ensure your dog has an enjoyable grooming session, start gently. If you dog enjoys grooming, more pressure can be applied to remove more fur. Pause or end the grooming session if your dog becomes agitated.

Grooming tips: Grooming is a wonderful way to bond with your dog, but dogs that are new to grooming should be introduced to it slowly. Begin grooming sessions when your dog is relaxed, if possible, after they have exercised. Use tools ge and avoid tugging on the skin or on knots or mats. Give your dog plenty of reassurance throughout the grooming session. Pause or end the grooming session if your dog becomes agitated or shows signs of stress. Keep grooming sessions brief to begin with, and increase the length of the sessions as your dog becomes used to grooming.
