Professional style tools designed for the Grooming Professional or pet owner. Typical of the quality associated with this well-known and much respected German manufacturer, the range offers a selection of bladed knives for each and every dog breed as well as for use on cats, large animals and small animals. The Coat King range is ideal for use as an aid for hand stripping and especially for the removal of dead hair & undercoat prior to clipping or in between haircuts.
Cattle and horse owners are also beginning to appreciate the benefits of using the Coat King and are quick to adopt the larger wide blade combs, which can also be used on the largest dog breeds. Many horse owners have discovered the effectiveness of the narrower headed blades for the tails of their horse.
These unique shape and design of these tools strip large areas of coat really fast, quickly and easily removing any loose hair, especially from those thick undercoats, which many breeds have. The Coat King is a great tool for aiding both detangling and dematting, if correctly applied.
Many dog and cat owners initially have concerns about using products with descriptions such as "blades" or "cutting edge". With the Coat King you need to have no fears, the individual blades whilst having a sharp cutting edge in the "curved area of the blade do not come in contact with the body or skin.
The blade tips which are curved, are flat and act as a smooth "skid" on the body surface gliding through the hair strands as you "comb", thus making the whole operation completely safe even in the hands of an inexperienced or first time user. Correctly applied you will find your cat or dog really enjoys the experience.

Coat Kings come in Regular Wide, Double Wide and Triple Wide styles. Double and Triple wide styles allow you to work faster, more efficiently.

On most dogs (especially matted dogs) best results will be achieved with if you start with tool sizes #6 - #8 - #10 - #12 blades for preparatory work and thinning out the coat or undercoat
 …and then use a tool size #16 - #20 - #26 blades for finishing off coat.
As a good thumb rule…
the softer the coat - the higher the number of blades
the longer the coat - better to use more blades
very short coats - use blades fitted with the smallest gaps between blades
very long and or matted coats - start with low number of blades and finish with high blade numbers.

USERS GUIDE/SUGGESTED USES

Which size do I need?

 Quick Guide:

Note: No rule is set in stone. If you find something that works for you, great! Many people are finding new ways to use them for different breeds

Coarse & Medium styles (#6 - #12 blades)
for preparatory work and thinning out undercoat
#10-Blade Stripper is perfect for prep work and coarser coats such as Old English Sheepdogs, Irish Wolfhounds and Chows.
#12 Blade Stripper is ideal for heavy or double coats such as Pomeranians, Lhasas, Westies and Poodles.

Fine styles (#16 - #20 blades)
for grooming heavy coats
#20 Blade Stripper is ideal for finishing and carding thick, fine coats such as Cockers, Spaniels, Setter and Afghans.

Super Fine styles (#20 - #26 blades)
for finishing and thick, shaggy coats (especially Spaniel breeds)
#20 Blade Stripper is ideal for finishing and carding thick, fine coats such as Cockers, Spaniels, Setter and Afghans.

Use coarse styles to comb out the undercoat, fine styles for finishing.

The softer the coat, the finer the gap between the blades. The longer the coat, the finer the gap between the blades. Short coated dogs use the finest gap. For Long & Wire coats first use a course Coat King and then the fine one.

Owners of Poodle Crossbreds:

With a number of "poodle crosses" the popular one being Labradors, many owners have difficulty deciding which Coat King is best suited to their individual animal.
The choice will largely fall between the 16 and 20 blade Coat King in most cases. Coat textures are likely to be of a variable nature and dependant on the individual animals used for the crossing.
The best advice is if your animal has a thicker rather than fine coat texture, then select the 16 blade, but if it is finer rather than thicker err towards the 20 blade,
Remember the more blades on the head the finer the coat - the thicker the coat the less blades and more open tooth blade face will prove better.

Suggested Use on animals other than Cats and Dogs:
Coat King combs can be used with great effect on several other hair-coated animals other than just cats and dogs. They are particularly effective when used on horses and ponies for maintaining manes and tails as well as the general body areas. A number of cattle exhibitors are discovering the benefits they offer in show coat and tail preparation. Coat Kings are also becoming increasingly used around the world for rabbits, hamsters and ferrets and they produce some highly effective results on many of the goat breeds
