Safari Wood Handle Flea Comb for Dogs
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
This comb is ideal to use after flea powders and shampoos. It helps detect fleas and their eggs at early stages and effectively removes them. The extended handle flea comb also helps to remove nits and other debris from your pet. Before using this comb, groom your pet with a Safari comb to remove any knots or tangles which may damage the teeth of the comb. While combing, pay particular attention to areas around the ears, nape of neck, and base of tail. Between strokes, dip the comb into a cup of mild detergent to cleanse the tool. This comb may be used with all types of breeds to help maintain a healthy coat.
Key Benefits- Safari Dog Flea Comb is used to control fleas, ticks and to help identify skin and coat problems
- Ideal to use after flea powders or shampoos
- Removes pests from your pup’s coat without irritating flea-bitten skin
- Contoured to fit in your palm for better control
- Easy to use, just start at the head of the dog and brush throughout down to the tail
Important Information
Fleas rise to the top of your pet's coat as they die, so consider it a triumph if you start seeing more fleas at first, after treating your pet. If you’re still seeing fleas after application, it may be because your pet has picked up new fleas from the environment, which may include other pets, surfaces and outdoor areas. It may take up to 30 days to break the entire flea life cycle. Additionally, you should also treat sources of new fleas (i.e., carpet, yard, etc.) to ensure complete flea control.

Way too small
By Wthecamp on Sep 15, 2021
The "teeth" are 2.5 in width and 0.5 long...The handle is also too small for my hand. A child/teenager's hand might be a good match. The picture looks like it's way bigger. No way that I can use this on my mini Aussie. Might work on a small cat or teacup dog.

Does not work well with labradoodles
By Lucy on Sep 13, 2021
The teeth are too far apart and too short; unlikely to remove fleas.

It was ok, but not great.
By Carrie on Jan 8, 2021
It pulls on the fur and doesn't really do a great job.

Disappointed
By Debbie555 on Mar 18, 2020
I have one from about 15-20 yrs ago. I still have it. I ordered a new one because mine is old. The new one has a different wood handle and the comb itself. Very cheap looking. The difference? My old one was made in England, the new one in China. I won't order another one or even recommend this. Not worth what they are charging for it.

wooden handled flea comb
By monkeypie on Oct 29, 2019
Excellent basic flea comb. I recommend it completely. I do not use chemical flea control, not because I'm opposed to it (water is a 'chemical', as is salt and other 'natural substances', folks!), but because I can save the expense and spend time bonding with my dog by flea combing her. Take a cup and add some warm water with a few drops of dish detergent. Sit on the floor and have your dog between your legs. Begin combing. when you do the upside the fleas run to the downside, and vice versa, so you may have to turn her a few times! Smart fleas... Once a flea is on your comb, flick the flea(s) into the cup of water with detergent drops in it. Detergent breaks the surface tension of the water Excellent basic flea comb.

Detergent breaks the surface tension of the water and causes the flea to drop to the bottom in a horrific drowning event. YAY! Then it can't bite your beloved, procreate into thousands more fleas, and the world is a happier place. You get to spend time with. your dog, knock off the fleas, and have the satisfaction that you have made your little doggie a LOT more comfortable! Happy combing, people!! … more

What happened to Safari?
By redkittycurls on Aug 12, 2019
I have a ten-year old version of this exact comb that I bought 10 years ago that works great and both my cats love. It gets a ton of fur out. I ordered the same one again because the one I have is getting pretty old and I was really disappointed. It gets almost no fur out. I can only imagine they redesigned it making it worse instead of better :( I would buy another flea comb if you have cats and want to use it to remove fur as well as fleas. I can't imagine it would actually remove any fleas either since it can't even remove the fur.

Too fine to get thru dogs coat
By Littlesqueak on Sep 19, 2019
Useless because it is too fine toothed. Can not even get it thru my dogs hair. Not the Chihuahua or the silkie/ Yorkie terrier. Pulls and hurts when I try to use it. Can not recommend this product.

A bit flimsy
By Jeanelle on Sep 12, 2019
This comb is definitely not for most dogs. It is very lightweight and does not go through the dog's hair well. I guess it would work on a very small breed with very short hair.
