The JW Pet GripSoft Double Row Undercoat Rake is a grooming rake with two rows of round-tipped metal teeth. It lifts loose, dead hair out of the soft undercoat and helps loosen light matting.
Who it suits
Owners of double-coated dogs such as Huskies, German Shepherds, Corgis and Golden Retrievers, especially during spring and fall shedding. Short, single-coated dogs will get little from it.
Key facts
- Double row of round-tipped teeth for the undercoat (Amazon listing)
- Designed to leave the outer coat undisturbed (Amazon listing)
- Non-slip ergonomic handle (Amazon listing)
- Teeth in two lengths, set parallel to the skin (Petful)
What reviewers say
Petful named it the best undercoat rake in its dog brush guide for thick double coats during a coat blow. It also pointed out that a rake is not a finishing tool and does little on short single coats, so pair it with a slicker.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Gets into dense undercoat
- Pro: Teeth designed not to scrape skin
- Pro: Comfortable grip
- Con: Not for short single coats
- Con: Needs a slicker to finish
Cautions
- Use light strokes and never dig into the skin.
- Leave tight mats near the skin to a groomer or vet.
