Understanding the Groomers’ Coat King range
The core function of a Coat King tool is to remove the undercoat without damaging the topcoat.
Unlike an undercoat rake with rounded pins or teeth that gently pull out the undercoat rather than cutting through it, a Coat King features curved, sharp blades designed to glide through the coat, removing dead hair as it goes.
The durable design of the Groomers Coat King, with its hardened stainless steel blades and comfortable wooden handle, ensures a reliable tool that can withstand the demands of a busy grooming schedule. The curved head allows for smooth, controlled, deep penetration of the coat without damaging the skin, prioritising the comfort and safety of the dogs in your care.
The key to mastering the Coat King is understanding how the blade count dictates its action on different coat types. As a general rule, the finer the gaps between the blades, the more blades the tool has. The finer the gap, the softer the coat the blade should be used on.
Here's a loose guide on which Coat King Tool to use on different types of coats:
- Coarse styles - have fewer blades and larger gaps and are best used for combing out the undercoat.
- Fine styles - used for finishing and perfecting the coat. Fine gaps are best for longer and softer coats.
- Short-coated dogs - use a tool with blades with a close, fine gap.
- Long-coated dogs, wire-coated dogs - start with a coarse style and follow up with a fine style for finishing.
Still unsure of the best option to use? This next section breaks down each Coat King style in turn to give you a better understanding of the best choice for each grooming stage and dog breed you are grooming.
