Abstract
A device, attachments, and method for grooming or cleaning the fur of an animal. The device includes a main unit, a steam delivery system operatively engaged with the main unit, and a liquid delivery system operatively engaged with the main unit. The steam delivery system is operable to selectively deliver a quantity of steam to the animal's fur and the liquid delivery system is operable to selectively deliver a volume of liquid to the animal's fur. The steam delivery system and liquid delivery system are selectively independently activated to perform a grooming or cleaning task with the device. One or more attachments are connectable with the main unit via a hose. Some of the attachments include a plurality of tines that extend outwardly in the direction of movement of the attachment along the animal's body and capture and lift hairs for improved application of liquid, shampoo, or air thereto.
