A \u003cstrong\u003eflea comb\u003c\/strong\u003e is the simplest way to find out what is actually living in your dog's or cat's coat — the teeth sit close enough together to drag out adult fleas, flea dirt, loose hair and debris that an ordinary brush passes straight over. This one has stainless steel teeth set into a curved plastic handle that sits comfortably in the hand for the slow, methodical passes the job needs. Available in two lengths so you can match the comb to the animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine steel teeth catch adult fleas and flea dirt an ordinary brush misses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives you an honest answer about whether your pet has a problem, before it becomes one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoubles as an everyday grooming comb — lifts loose and shedding hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved handle designed for a comfortable grip through a full coat check\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel teeth rinse clean and last, so there is nothing to replace or refill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sizes and four colours, for cats and dogs alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e — closely spaced to trap fleas and flea dirt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArc-shaped handle\u003c\/strong\u003e for a comfortable, controlled grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo lengths\u003c\/strong\u003e — Small at 14 cm and Medium at 18.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemoves loose and shedding hair\u003c\/strong\u003e during routine grooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoubles as a massage comb\u003c\/strong\u003e during a calm grooming session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReusable and washable\u003c\/strong\u003e — rinse, dry and put away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuits cats and dogs\u003c\/strong\u003e of all coat types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel teeth with a plastic handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length — Small:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 cm (approx. 5.5 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length — Medium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5 cm (approx. 7.3 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green, Pink, Purple, Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable pets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dogs and cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine-tooth grooming and flea comb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth spacing and comb width:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not published by the manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 × stainless steel flea comb, in the colour and size selected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a comb, not a treatment.\u003c\/strong\u003e It physically removes fleas, eggs and flea dirt from the coat. It does not kill fleas, repel them, or treat an infestation on its own. If you are finding live fleas, speak to your vet about a proper treatment plan for your pet and your home — combing alone will not clear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Work in good light, in short strokes, following the direction the coat grows. Pay particular attention to the base of the tail, the belly, the armpits and behind the ears, where fleas gather. Keep a bowl of warm soapy water beside you and dip the comb after every few passes — this drowns anything caught in the teeth and stops it jumping back onto your pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading what you find.\u003c\/strong\u003e Small black specks in the teeth may be flea dirt rather than ordinary grit. Put a few on a damp piece of white tissue: if they smear reddish-brown, that is digested blood and your pet has fleas even if you have not seen one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfort.\u003c\/strong\u003e Work gently and never force the comb through a knot — tease mats apart with your fingers or a wider comb first. Stop if the skin looks red, broken or sore, and check with your vet before combing over irritated skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse the comb in hot soapy water after each session, dry it fully to protect the steel, and store it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Small is 14 cm long and suits cats, kittens, puppies and small dogs, or fine detail work around the face and paws. The Medium is 18.5 cm and covers more ground on medium and large dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it get rid of fleas by itself?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It removes what is in the coat at that moment, which brings the numbers down and tells you whether there is a problem, but eggs in bedding and carpet need treating too. Use it alongside a vet-recommended treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on a cat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it is listed for both cats and dogs. The Small size is usually the easier one to manoeuvre on a cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it pull on a long or matted coat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine teeth are not made for working through mats. Detangle first with your fingers or a wider-toothed comb, then use the flea comb on the smooth coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the whole comb stainless steel?\u003c\/strong\u003e The teeth are stainless steel; the handle is plastic. The manufacturer does not publish the plastic grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if I find a tick rather than a flea?\u003c\/strong\u003e A comb is the wrong tool for a tick — pulling at an attached tick can leave the mouthparts behind. Use a purpose-made tick removal tool, which you will find elsewhere in our grooming range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zippygiz","offers":[{"title":"Green \/ Medium","offer_id":52863199412536,"sku":"1005006382654790-green-M","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green \/ Small","offer_id":52863199445304,"sku":"1005006382654790-green-S","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ Small","offer_id":52863199478072,"sku":"1005006382654790-pink-S","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ Medium","offer_id":52863199510840,"sku":"1005006382654790-purple-M","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple \/ Small","offer_id":52863199543608,"sku":"1005006382654790-purple-S","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow \/ Medium","offer_id":52863199576376,"sku":"1005006382654790-yellow-M","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow \/ Small","offer_id":52863199609144,"sku":"1005006382654790-yellow-S","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ Medium","offer_id":52863199641912,"sku":"1005006382654790-pink-M","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/9816\/2744\/files\/Sb2d2f1d04925462ea0517ba26bc57a93c.webp?v=1787843436","url":"https:\/\/zippygiz.com\/products\/flea-comb-for-dogs-and-cats-stainless-steel-fine-tooth-grooming-comb","provider":"Zippygiz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
