Mikki Bamboo Anti-Tangle RakeBamboo undercoat rake with rounded steel teeth

A rake built specifically for loose, dead undercoat rather than everyday surface tangles — strong, rounded-tip steel teeth on a bamboo handle, designed to work through knots and matting without damaging the topcoat above it. Mikki markets it for medium to long-haired, double-coated breeds — Border Collies, German Shepherds, Huskies and retriever types are named specifically.

Looking after it

A rake is for the loose undercoat sitting beneath the topcoat, not the topcoat itself, so light, short strokes in the direction of hair growth do the job better than heavy pressure. Most useful during a seasonal shed rather than as a daily tool.
