    Abstract: A pet grooming tool, for use with a furry pet such as a dog or cat having loose hair and non-loose hair, is adapted for removing the loose hair from the pet. The grooming tool comprises a sharp edged comb with short tines mounted in front of an atrium open near the comb, and is also connected to a suction hose attached to a vacuum cleaner or similar. The comb is drawn through the pet's hair where it pulls loose undercoat and guard hairs, fleas, ticks, dander, and other items out of the animal's fur. When the tines are full, the comb is tipped on its trailing side and passed over a stripping pad or the animals hide. This pulls the hair mass out of the tines and deposits it at the entrance of the suction nozzle from whence it is whisked away by vacuum to a collection chamber.
