    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 an elongate handle portion extending generally along a handle axis, and a pet engageable portion secured to the handle portion. The pet engageable portion includes a blade portion and a plurality of teeth. The blade portion includes a blade edge. The teeth extend from the blade edge. The pet engageable portion is secured to the handle portion in a manner so that pulling the handle portion generally along the handle axis while the pet engageable portion is in engagement with the pet causes the blade portion to engage the loose hair of the pet and pull it from the pet without cutting or pulling the non-loose hair from the pet.
