Title: Does what it should, at a reasonable price.
Review: I wasn't impressed with Hartz's hair brush- the pins bent easily, and even fell out over just a few brushes- but this flea comb actually works functionally well as a hair brush, as long as you're careful to pull gently, as it does catch hairs rather easily.As far as anti-flea functionality.. well, they got caught and crushed between the pins a lot, but otherwise managed to escape easily. Is that good? I don't know. It worked in the long run, along with a regimen of regular bathing (with cat shampoo), and I was able to remove all the fleas without having to resort to dangerous chemical treatments. While I'm not sure whether or not there's better available, I can say this did what I needed it to at a reasonable price.It's also rather durable, unlike most hair brushes, so the longetivity further emphasizes the cost-benefit of the product. The one downside is that the bottom of the pins are a bit firm (not quite sharp, but nearly so) which means you have to be careful about dragging the brush down through the underfur, as it can be painful for the cat if you do so.Looking at the bottom of the pins, they appear to have a rectangular bottom, rather than the usual rounded bottom most brush pins have. Whether this improves anti-flea functionality I can't say, but it means you have to be a bit more careful (on top of already being careful with how easily it catches tangles) when running this through thick fur.The brush is also a bit hand-straining over longer periods, as it seems designed for smaller hands [than mine]. Conversely, it has really good grip, and I never had any slipping while using it.Once you get used to the quirks, this is actually a rather capable hairbrush (y'know, unlike Hartz's brush actually intended for that purpose), which leads me to feel it's likely a good anti-flea brush, as well (after all, if it's catching most of the fur, it's likely catching most of the things in it. Nevermind that it only took about four days of brushing and bathing to remove all the fleas, which seems like a rather reasonable period.)I don't have the familarity with flea combs to confidently recommend this from that front, but I can at least say it worked well enough for me, and at a budget price. I also went with this one because it was the most recommended I was able to find, so it likely is as capable as it seems to be.At the very least, if you're specifically looking for a cheap flea comb option, this seems as though it'd be a safe bet.

Review: I like just about everything about this comb. TLDR: effective, easy to use, dog loves it, mom zones using it, only downside is the horizontal nature of it can be awkward in some areas, like the neck if heâs laying a certain way, but that alone is not a deal breaker bc this bad boy works!!Actual backstory and a few tips.â¦4yr old Carolina Dog who is living his best life at the beach got fleas for the first time this Monday (today is Thursday). I didnât know what steps to take so I went to google and winged it. I gave him a Dawn bath that morning, but he was scratching again within a couple of hours. Since that didnât do the trick 100%, I took him to PetSmart Grooming so they could do their magic. I thought between the two baths we had knocked these suckers out! Tuesday he slept hard all day which for him is unusual. Heâs a we must go outside and walk the entire town and see all our favorite friends again today mom kinda dog. Wednesday he woke me up heavily grooming which was frustrating, but I remembered I ordered this comb so I pulled it out.The package didnât give any directions and Amazon didnât have any either. I wasnât sure if he was supposed to be wet, dry or even what direction to run it. After some research I found out to do this DRY and in the SAME direction the hair grows. A fantastic tip was to have a bowl of water with soap in it by you to dip the comb in when you pull a Demon or any eggs out, and a paper towel to wipe/dry the comb. Get comfy and gently glide the comb though the pups hair in the direction it naturally lays. Keep a close eye on the comb though bc these suckers will just appear and sometimes they wiggle around or jump off. Grossâ¦I know but we are talking about fleas here. You may also see tiny black specksâ¦not sure if this is dirt or eggs but I went with eggs and dipped my comb into the Dawn water and whipped it super clean with the paper towel each time!Verdict - Dawn bath is an amazing DIY option. Just know it isnât great for their skin so donât overdo it. PetSmart is also a good option. That cost me about $70, but I added a deep conditioner since that bath was also harsh on his skin. He does not ever need a haircut so this is just for the bath and conditioner. Ears/nails are also included.Finally, this comb is a must have for getting the stragglers and their nasty spawn. Iâve been combing him for about 20 minutes 3 or 4 times a day, and each time I am finding less and less. I think we are just about in the clear now, but had I just stuck with the two baths my poor guy would still be miserable. Now heâs just a zen pup who is loving being combed. Itâs seriously so relaxing for both of us. Weirdâ¦I know. Anyway this was supposed to be short but hopefully you get the point and will just get the comb already! Good luck!

Title: The Best Flea Comb on the Market
Review: After learning that flea combs were useful for finding ticks, removing debris from the coat, and combating flea infestations, I decided to buy one for my pup. Although I usually donât like Hartz, their flea comb had good reviews compared to competitors, so I bought it.So far, I can report that itâs worked well. I havenât used it for fleas or ticks (and hopefully never will), but it has done a good job removing occasional dandruff and debris from my pupâs fur. Although my dog has a dense double coat, it still gets down to the skin with relative ease.The comb is sturdy, although a couple of the tines bent when I was negligent and stored it improperly (squished by my pupâs other thingamabobs). The tines need to be packed tightly to grab small stuff, so bent tines reduce the effectiveness of the comb. Iâd store it carefully to avoid damaging the tines.The Hartz flea comb fits well in my hand; no problems with sore wrists or a slippery grasp. The tines are a bit rough, so I wouldnât go crazy brushing with it, especially if your pup has sensitive skin. Test it out on yourself first to get an idea of how much pressure you should use.TL;DR: Fantastic flea comb! Fits nicely in the hand and it works well to remove dandruff and debris. The tines are a bit scratchy, so donât use too much pressure. Donât be silly like me and carelessly throw it in with your pupâs other things; the tines might end up getting bent!

Review: Quedé sorprendida con los buenos resultados del peine. Es muy fácil de utilizar y expone a las pulgas sin complicación alguna. Asà mismo, es un buen rascador de lomitos. Ojo, las pulgas no quedan atrapadas entre las cerdas, sólo las separa del pelaje. Lo recomiendo utilizar en conjunto con una cinta adhesiva. Una vez, expuesta la pulga, pégala en la cinta para que no brinquen. Llevo una semana cepillando a mi perrita y ha descansado mucho de las molestias que las pulgas le habÃan ocasionado. Excelente producto.

Review: I was looking for a flea comb for a while I and I kept seeing this one in store but didn't buy it because the price seemed too high. After a while, I caved in seeing the great reviews and honestly, they're 100% correct. This flea comb is not only easy to use but gets out every little thing from your pet's fur. This took out every little flea from my cat's fur, including eggs and anything else that was there. If there are any bad reviews on this product is may be because you're not using it correctly or too roughly (which is hard to do considering how easy it is). 100% worth it!

Review: Este cepillo funciona bien, se lleva a las pulgas del pelaje y la mayorÃa se quedan atoradas entre sus cerdas metálicas, otras, solo las saca pero de inmediato intentan saltar. A mi lo que me funcionó fue tener cinta adhesiva mientras usaba este cepillo, sacaba las pulgas e inmediatamente las pegaba en la cinta, donde quedaban atrapadas para luego tirarlas a la basura, idéntico a las trampas adhesivas para ratones.Adoptamos un gatito de la calle, nos lo dieron muy pulgoso pero como era muy bebé (menos de 1 mes) no era adecuado usar productos quÃmicos para eliminar las pulgas. Compramos este cepillo y nos maravillamos, en 3 dÃas le sacamos un total de 31 pulgas a un gatito.El cepillo le gustó al gato y creo que le sigue gustado, no le lastima la piel ni se enreda en su pelo y a pesar de que ya no tiene pulgas lo seguimos cepillando y parece disfrutarlo.
