🐶 OptiCoat Flea Comb Review

Works great and easy to use. I keep a bucket of hot, soapy water by my side when I comb my pets so I can easily pick up the hair, fleas, and flea droppings and pour them straight into the bucket.

The only downside that another reviewer mentioned is the black color. The fleas merge with the black pencil and there were a couple of times I brushed out a flea but didn't…

I was surprised at how many fleas our cats had. We don't have a carpet and they are in the cats but somehow they got them and we didn't realize what was going on until they got loose. This comb is comfortable for our short haired cats. Also picks up scabs from scratching. I had to catch the fleas out of the comb for a few seconds, for example with scotch tape, otherwise they tended to jump off, although some only crawled from one side to the other.
