Dog & Cat Brushes, Undercoat Rakes & Deshedding Tools

Shedding, mats and tangles each call for a different tool, and using the wrong one is how brushing turns into a fight. This collection groups Fido Fave brushes, rakes, combs and deshedding tools for dogs and cats by the job they do, so you can pick by coat rather than by guesswork. Every product page lists the breed sizes and coat lengths it suits.

For everyday brushing and light tangles, start with a slicker brush. The Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush uses rounded stainless-steel pins and a one-click button that pushes the collected fur off the pad in one piece. For curly and thick coats on Goldendoodles, Poodles and Labradoodles, the 3-piece Slicker Brush & Comb Set has 504 extra-long angled pins that reach just under an inch (2 cm) into the coat, plus a 36 + 26 tooth steel comb for checking your work. Cat owners get a dedicated self-cleaning cat brush with 210 rounded pins and a built-in Wood's lamp that helps you spot signs of ringworm while you groom.

For shedding season and double coats, move to a rake or a deshedding brush. The Double-Sided Undercoat Rake pairs 9 dematting teeth with 17 deshedding teeth on a 2.75-inch head for medium and large breeds. The 2-in-1 Undercoat Rake & Rotating Comb has 360° rotating teeth that follow the coat instead of catching in it, backed by a deshedding blade. The two-sided Deshedding Brush carries 115 curved stainless-steel teeth with a gentle side and a deep side, the 4.7-inch Deshedding Tool suits short and medium coats, and the Self-Cleaning Deshedding Comb (36 fine + 26 wide teeth) releases the collected undercoat with one press.

For finishing, flea checks and static, the 6-piece Comb Set covers tear stains, fleas and tangles, while the Spray Grooming Brush and the Press-to-Spray Detangling Brush lay a fine mist on the coat as you brush to cut static and breakage.

Apart from the two spray brushes, nothing here needs batteries or refills: rinse, dry, and it goes back in the drawer. If you are deciding between a slicker and an undercoat rake, the short version is slicker for surface tangles and daily use, rake for loose undercoat.
