Hartz 3270094803 Groomer's Best Flea Comb for Cat and Dog

Our landlord decided to sell our house and the realestate agents that walked through dropped off fleas. We tried drops, but those didn't work. Using the flea comb, I was able to comb my cats and rid them of their flea issues after a few weeks. I combed them daily and vacuumed every other day for a few weeks and now the fleas are gone. The flea comb combs off the eggs, larvae, and the fleas themselves. I had to drown the fleas in soapy water to kill them, but it did the trick. It's sturdy and one of my cats loved the flea comb, the other one hates being groomed no matter what. He tolerated the comb long enough for me to rid him of fleas thankfully. Many months later and we are still flea free, no outbreaks not even a flea egg. Cheaper than drops and not toxic like drops, but works better than flea drops!

Excelente opción para perros de pelo corto. Funcional, fácil de utilizar, no lastima y hasta disfrutó mi perrita la peinada.

Ergonomic handle makes combing fur easy. Teeth are tight so easy to see any pests or dirt combed out of fur. I use it on my cat and my dogs!

This comb is perfect for gently combing my medium-haired and short-haired cats’ faces and tails. It also lets me check for any skin issues on their bodies.

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.
