Trixie flea and dust comb – Inspection comb with handle for dogs and cats

What is this Trixie flea comb?

This double-sided flea and dust comb from Trixie features very finely spaced metal teeth. This allows you to easily detect fleas, flea dirt, and lice while combing the fur. The handle ensures the comb lies comfortably in your hand, allowing for controlled and precise work.

Why use this comb?

Regular combing helps to detect parasites early, before your pet develops severe itching or an allergic reaction. This comb is suitable for dogs, cats and small pets.

Benefits

• Fine teeth — shows fleas, lice and flea droppings directly

• With handle for better grip and control.

• Suitable for inspection and light removal.

• Easy to clean

Disadvantages

• Detects fleas, but does not control them.

• Less effective in heavily matted fur.

How do you use the comb?

Comb through dry, clean fur, preferably against the direction of the hair. Pay particular attention to the neck, base of the tail, and groin area. Wipe the comb with a dark or damp tissue in between to make flea droppings visible (red/rust-colored = blood).

Which option do you choose?

Choose the size based on your pet and usage situation.

• 7 cm — ideal for cats, puppies, small dogs and detail work around head/armpits

• 15 cm — a versatile size for most dogs and cats

• 21 cm — suitable for larger breeds and wider surfaces for faster combing
