The Loon Ergo Underfur Comb is a specialized grooming tool designed for removing loose undercoat fur from dogs, particularly breeds with dense double coats (e.g., Golden Retrievers, Huskies, or German Shepherds). Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
1. Ergonomic Handle – Designed for comfort, reducing hand fatigue during extended grooming sessions.
2. Stainless Steel Teeth – Durable, rust-resistant, and gentle on the skin while effectively removing dead undercoat.
3. Curved Design – Contours to the dog’s body for efficient fur removal without tugging.
4. Safety Tips – Rounded ends prevent scratching or irritating the skin.
5. Shedding Aid – Helps manage seasonal shedding by reaching deep into the undercoat.
Best For:
– Double-coated breeds (e.g., Retrievers, Collies, Malamutes).
– Regular de-shedding maintenance.
– Reducing loose fur and preventing matting.
How to Use:
1. Brush in the direction of hair growth.
2. Apply gentle pressure—let the comb do the work.
3. Focus on dense areas (neck, back, hindquarters).
4. Clean the comb regularly to remove trapped fur.
Alternatives:
– Furminator (more aggressive, blade-based).
– Slicker Brushes (for tangles and topcoat).
– Undercoat Rakes (longer teeth for thick coats).
If your dog sheds heavily, this comb can be a great addition to your grooming toolkit. Always pair it with a conditioning spray for smoother brushing.
