Great for reducing shedding and hairballs, the Safari Cat stainless steel Shedding Blade effectively removes unwanted hair for a healthy coat and home. Regular grooming minimizes shedding, reduces hair balls and improves the appearance of your cat's coat. Gently pull the toothed side of the blade through your cat's coat. Begin at the head, working toward the tail following the direction of hair growth. Be sure to thoroughly groom the chest, underbelly and hind legs.
