Cleaning dog shed from around your home and off of your clothes can get quite frustrating. The DakPets Deshedding Tool was designed to reduce this burden for pet owners.
In my video review above and the detailed review that I've written below, I'll explain all the features that this grooming tool has to offer. But first, you have to consider a few things when choosing the best deshedding tool for your dog's needs.
Most deshedding brushes for dogs are equipped with stainless steel teeth. This is an important feature for easy cleaning and longevity.
When choosing a deshedding tool for your dog, it's important to choose a tool with a comfortable handle. Look for a product that is ergonomically designed with a rubber grip. Both of these features will aid in comfort and reduce hand fatigue while you're grooming your pet.
The most important thing to consider is your dog's coat type. You need to select a tool that is designed for your pet's coat.
Does your dog have long or short fur? Does he have a double coat, a wiry coat, or long hair? Is he a small, medium or large breed?
The DakPets Deshedding Tool is a one-size-fits-all tool that is made for all breeds with long or short hair. It is a very popular tool with pet owners and professional groomers alike.
DakPets Deshedding Tool for Pets Review
DakPets claims that this tool will help reduce your dog's shedding by up to 90%. I can't vouch for the exact amount, but I can say that this deshedding tool pulls a lot of hair out of my double-coated Labrador.
This brush is very lightweight, which I really enjoy. Some grooming brushes are so heavy that your arm gets tired after a few minutes of brushing.
The handle is ergonomically designed, so it's very comfortable during long grooming sessions. It also features a rubber grip to keep your hand from slipping while you're brushing your pet.
As I mentioned, the DakPets deshedding tool is designed to be a one-size-fits-all grooming brush. It is made to groom all breeds and sizes, and it's also capable of deshedding both long and short coats.
In my opinion, this is the best feature of this tool. It makes it much easier to groom your pack if you own multiple animals. I use this brush on our dogs and cats.
However, it can also be a drawback if you have a dog that requires a specifically designed grooming tool to meet his individual needs. For example, if your pooch has wiry fur, he may need a deshedding tool specifically made for that type of coat.
We have three dogs. Our mixed breed has a short, sleek coat; our beagle has short, smooth fur; and our chocolate Lab has a thick double coat.
The DakPets tool works well on our Labrador and our Beagle, as you can see in my video review above. However, it doesn't do much for our mixed-breed dog. He doesn't shed much, so a rubber-bristled brush that is gentle on his skin is a better option for him.

The 4-inch stainless steel brush head is designed with unique teeth that reach deep into your dog's coat to remove loose hair and debris. This tool also features a quick-release button that ejects the brush head for safe and easy storage.
As you can see in my video review, it also comes with a safety cover that protects the teeth when not in use. The teeth of this brush are also designed with rounded tips to protect your dog's skin.
As with all deshedding tools, you don't want to apply a lot of pressure when brushing your dog as they still may scratch his skin and cause him discomfort.
Overall, I was impressed with this tool. It's a great grooming product to have on hand if you have a multi-dog household.
If you have a small or toy breed, you will be better off purchasing a brush that is smaller than this one. It works well for our medium-sized breeds, but it would be too wide for a dog any smaller than our Beagle.
Likewise, this brush is ideal for short coats. If you have a dog that has long, silky hair, you should purchase a brush that is specifically designed for that coat type.
You can purchase the DakPets Deshedding Tool on Amazon for $29.99. That's a reasonable price for the high-quality grooming tool you'll receive, and it's priced in the middle of the range for similar deshedding tools.
