Why Grooming is Important

Grooming is an important pet health matter. Trapped shed hair in a coat can cause a pet to overheat, and cause irritable heat spots on their scalp. The patented design of the all-new Ridgeback can help you to maintain your pet’s coat with ease; it removes shed hair and dander, quickly, effectively and gently. As the Ridgeback removes shed hair, the appearance and sheen of the pet’s coat is improved, enabling natural oils from the sebaceous glands to spread along the hair shaft, otherwise trapped by dead shed hair. Pet parents also benefit, with less shed hair around their home and on their clothes!

The Grooming Science

The Ridgeback is unlike any other grooming tool, because it multi-tasks! For Long Hair coats, in a single grooming motion, the long, widely spaced combs first detangle your pet’s coat. Hair mats and knots are gently broken up, and deep undercoat is removed. As the grooming motion continues, the combs become progressively finer, shorter and more closely spaced, to collect shed hair from throughout the coat. The Ridgeback has been designed to groom pet’s coats comfortably. The tool does not tug on the coat, and certainly does not cut hair or irritate the pet’s scalp! This is not true of many other grooming products, even though they try to make this claim; as you can see in the VIDEO above.

Similarly for the Short Hair and Extra-short Hair models, pets find the grooming experience to be comfortable, because there is a gentle progression from coarse to fine combs in each single grooming motion; and pet parents get the job done very quickly, because they are detangling and deshedding the coat at the same time. The RIDGEBACK can cut the time it takes to groom a pet down by half.

With other products, you first need to spend time removing any tangles and matts with a first tool. Then you put that down, and groom through your pet's hair with another product to collect shed hair and undercoat, often pausing for a while to clean collected shed hair out before continuing. The RIDGEBACK is the only grooming tool you will ever need, since it both detangles and desheds comfortably at the same time, and cleaning is very quick and simple. With this all new product, you can get the job done quickly, allowing both you and your pet more time to play!

We recommend that you use the Ridgeback approximately once a week. The Ridgeback works best by applying pressure, grooming in short strokes. Start by working on the body, from your pet’s tail to head, removing all tangles and matts in short strokes. Then repeat over the body, but now groom the Ridgeback against the coat, to collect the maximum amount of shed hair. Finish up by using the narrow top portion of the tool to groom the legs of your pet, and around their head. Within 10-15 minutes the Ridgeback will remove ALL of your pet's shed hair; as you can see in the VIDEO above.

The Pet You Love Deserves The Best

Pet parents have many choices when it comes to buying grooming products; but they are all, really poor choices.

No single product is wholly effective. From the harsh products that tug on, and cut the hair of a pet’s coat; to products which have to be repurchased often because they are not durable. It’s time to stop wasting money and buy a Ridgeback; the only grooming tool you will ever need for the pet you love.
