Purlov pet grooming rake model 20427 — fur trimmer/grooming rake

Purlov pet grooming rake model 20427 is a manual fur trimmer and grooming rake created for removing loose undercoat and thinning dense fur. Designed for routine home grooming of dogs and cats with medium to long coats, the tool helps reduce shedding, prevent matting and improve coat appearance without using power tools. The metal-toothed rake works by gently pulling out loose hair and undercoat layers while leaving the top coat intact, supporting healthier-looking fur and easier maintenance between professional grooming sessions.

Advantages

The grooming rake offers precise mechanical removal of excess undercoat and loose hairs, decreasing seasonal shedding and minimizing hair accumulation around the home. Its design allows for controlled thinning of dense coat areas, which helps prevent tangles and mats. As a hand-operated tool, it provides tactile feedback for safe grooming and can be used selectively on sensitive areas. The rake's construction delivers durable performance for repeated home use and straightforward cleaning after sessions.

Suitable for

• Routine home grooming of dogs with medium to long double or thick single coats
• Regular maintenance of long-haired and semi-long-haired cats
• Reducing seasonal shedding and preventing matting in dense coats
• Selective thinning of high-density areas such as ruff, flank or underbelly

How to use

Hold the rake at a shallow angle and make gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth to remove loose undercoat. Start with short passes over small areas to assess coat response, increasing stroke length once the amount of removed hair is clear. Avoid excessive pressure on thin-skinned or irritated areas and stop if the animal shows signs of discomfort. Clean teeth of accumulated hair periodically during the session to maintain effectiveness. Use the rake as part of a regular grooming routine together with brushing and combing to maintain coat health and appearance.

Usage recommendations

Use the Purlov grooming rake in short, regular sessions rather than prolonged aggressive passes. For best results, groom a dry coat and combine with a soft-bristle brush to smooth the top coat. On animals with sensitive skin or severe matting, consult a professional groomer before use.
