Kirislin Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I put this in the wrong place so posting again here in the hope someone knows where to get one. I remember this comb from when I was a kid. I loved using it to strip out our dogs coat. I found it again when cleaning out Mums house. It nearly got chucked until I spotted it and rescued it. I'd love to get a new version of it, but exactly the same. Anyone ever seen them for sale? 5F6A2721_1 by kirislin, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanbree Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I think you just get them at horse shops but they are normally plastic, well mine is anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsqueak Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I know them as "rakes". Picked up mine in a pet shop ages ago. Many different versions, but the metal ones like that seem to be almost impossible to find... I always look but never see them, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 thanks, yep that's the one. I've actually found a wholesaler who distributes to a local store so I'll be ordering one soon. They are fabulous for getting old coats out of dogs like GSDs It's that double coat that it is perfect for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they any good for border collies...I usually use a rake they're called a rake so I assume they'd be similar. The teeth are fairly short on them so they wouldn't tangle or pull too much in a long coat I think. That's my opinion only, I might be wrong.

You would be better served with a rake with longer teeth for a BC. Would be great on a short coat BC but for the traditional coat type, longer teeth will be better.

Yes the one I have has longer teeth about 1 inch long. It is an old favourite I have had for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy21 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'm desperately hunting for one of these too. Willing to share details Kirislin? I'm in Tassie, so I'm a bit limited shop wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Tassie, so I'm a bit limited shop wise. this is the company that distributes it but they wont sell it retail. They gave me the name of a business in my town who they sell to and I have to order it from them. http://www.elitepet.com.au/home/index.php?route=product/product&path=3_52_137&product_id=1563 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Perfect - thanks Kirislin. I'll ask around and see if I can get someone to order one for me. I rang Elite and they asked where I lived and then told me the nearest retailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
