Abstract
A pet grooming tool has a handle, a support member, and a grooming mechanism for de-shedding and grooming coarse, long, thick fur and fine, short fur or the undercoat of an animal during the grooming process while using a single tool. The grooming mechanism has a rod, a plurality of spacers, a plurality of single-sided combs, and a plurality of double-sided combs, with each of the combs having a cutting edge. The spacers and combs are arranged such that this single tool can be utilized for different animals having varying lengths and thicknesses. This tool minimizes the need for expert technique and experience in grooming an animal.
