A grooming rake is a tool designed for maintaining the coat of pets, particularly dogs and cats. It features a handle with a row of metal or plastic teeth that help remove loose fur, dirt, and debris from the animal's coat. This tool is especially useful for pets with thick or long fur, as it can help prevent matting and tangles. Using a grooming rake can promote a healthy coat by distributing natural oils and reducing shedding. Regular grooming sessions can also enhance the bond between the pet and its owner, making it a beneficial practice for both.
