The Best Flea Combs For Cats : What You Need To Know

Reviews

Best Value Safari Double-Sided Cat Flea Comb
 

The Safari Double-Sided Cat Flea Comb tops our list of the best flea comb for cats money can buy.

It’s double-sided, so you get twice as much usage out of it, and it’s quite simple to use. The rounded tips will neither damage or scratch your cat while using it.

It also has a keychain holder so you can keep the comb with you at all times, and its compact size means it won’t get in the way.

The Safari Double-Sided Cat Flea Combs were inexpensive, but the plastic was brittle and readily twisted, rendering the item ineffective.

The narrow 3-inch diameter makes it awkward to use, and it may not be appropriate if you have numerous cats in the house that need to be checked.

 

Safari Wood Handle Dog Flea Comb – Premium Choice
 

Our preferred flea comb for cats is the Safari Wood Handle Flea Comb for Dogs. With a hardwood handle and steel bristles, it’s a stylish, high-quality tool.

The curved handle is exceptionally lightweight and comfortable to use even during lengthy periods.

It did an excellent job of eradicating fleas from our pets, and it’s quite durable and should last for many seasons.

The Safari Wood Handle Flea Comb for Dogs has a high price tag, and the row of teeth is only around 3 inches broad, so it may take a bit longer to eradicate fleas than a larger comb.

 

Best Flea Comb for Pets – Best for Kittens by Hartz Groomers
 

As the best flea comb for kittens, we recommend the Hartz Groomer’s Best Flea Comb for Dogs and Cats.

It contains steel bristles that will not bend and round tips that will not scratch your kitty when you use it. It also features a hole in the handle for hanging it on a peg or attaching it to a keychain.

The purple color of the Hartz Groomer makes it a little tougher to notice the fleas as you remove them, and the short bristles are good for a kitten but may not be suitable for larger cats, especially if you have more than one.

 

ConairPRO Flea Comb for Dogs
 

Because of its ergonomic handle design and smooth, non-slip covering, the ConairPRO Dog Flea Comb is a very comfortable comb to use.

The pins are also at an angle, making the brush easier to use, and it is made of high-quality materials for long-lasting durability.

The ConairPRO Dog Flea Comb worked great at first, but the teeth were prone to falling out, and once a couple fell out, it didn’t function as well at capturing fleas, so we had to replace it.

Buyer's Guide: Choosing The Best Cat Flea Comb

What Is the Best Way to Use a Flea Comb?

• The flea comb is a very simple device, and they all work in the same way. A comb will have a lengthy row of teeth that are closely spaced. As you pull the comb through the cat’s fur, the fleas will become stuck in the pins.
• Fill a glass halfway with warm water and a little bit of dish soap. We recommend 12 teaspoon Dan dish detergent.
• After combing the comb through the cat, quickly dunk it into the water to drown them.
• Repeat until the comb is free of fleas.
• Repeat every day until the fleas are no longer present overnight.

Size

When looking for the best flea comb for cats, one of the first things to consider is the comb’s size. Larger combs will have more teeth and a more manageable handle.

Smaller brushes can be harder to control and might cause hand pain, especially if you have multiple cats.

Steel Teeth vs. Plastic Teeth

Steel teeth are far less prone to bend than plastic teeth, and we prefer them.

The sole disadvantage of steel pins is that they can be sharp if they don’t have rounded tips, and steel teeth are more prone to shattering.

Conclusion

When looking for the best flea combs for cats, we recommend the Safari Double-Sided Cat Flea Comb, which is another excellent option, and our recommendation for the greatest value.
