This comb can be used easily to remove fleas from your pet. Chrome plated steel with rounded teeth for a gentle touch. The teeth are spaced ultra close to trap fleas when combing. Complete with easy instructions for maximum effectiveness. When I use a flea comb, I fill a paper cup with soapy water. Then each time I comb the pet, I dip the comb in the water. the soapy kills the fleas without chemicals. I finish by throwing the cup away. Remember that you must treat the environment (pets bed, furnature, carpets) also.
