Performance notes
The fine, closely spaced metal teeth are built to catch fleas and flea eggs while also working through light tangles, which is why Hartz specifically calls out the face and paws as target areas. The metal handle adds some rigidity for controlled, precise strokes compared to a flexible plastic grip.

Is this comb gentle enough for the face?
