Baxter & Bella - Deshedder & Rake Comb

TL;DR: The Baxter & Bella Deshedder & Rake Comb is a grooming tool for small-breed dogs and cats with thick or shedding coats. Its fine rake teeth lift loose undercoat, help reduce mats, and distribute natural skin oils for a softer finish.

Regular deshedding keeps your pet comfortable and your home cleaner. Among deshedding brushes for short hair dogs, this rake comb targets the loose undercoat that drives shedding, tangles, and matting in small breeds.

Available in Small and Large sizes, so you can match the tool to your pet's coat density and body size.

Specifications

Who is it for?

This comb suits small-breed dogs and cats with thick, double, or shedding coats. If your pet leaves fur on the couch, develops mats behind the ears or on the hindquarters, or has an undercoat a standard bristle brush can't reach, a rake-style deshedder is the right tool.

Comparing deshedding brushes across breeds and coats? For larger dogs or heavier coats, consider the Baxter & Bella - Adjustable Deshedder Rake or the Conairpro - Dog DeShedder. Another option in the same category is the Petmate - Undercoat Rake Deshedding Brush.

Feeding & use

Start with a dry, detangled coat. Work in the direction of hair growth using light, short strokes, and let the teeth do the work rather than pressing into the skin.

Focus on areas where shedding is heaviest: the back, sides, and rear legs. Stop if the skin looks pink or if your pet shows discomfort, and avoid dragging the comb through tight mats — loosen those with your fingers first.

How often should you deshed a small dog or cat?

During heavy shedding seasons in spring and fall, two to three short sessions per week help keep loose fur under control. Outside shedding season, once a week is usually enough for most small breeds, and this rake works well alongside deshedding brushes for cats in a shared grooming routine.

A note on other animals

This rake is sized for small dogs and cats. If you need a tool for horses or larger livestock, choose one built for that coat type and scale rather than a small-pet comb. Among deshedding brushes for short hair dogs, it stays best matched to small breeds.
