Abstract
A toothless elastomeric shedding blade (10) is capable of resiliently conforming to arcuate surfaces of a hair- or fur- bearing animal. The blade has two opposed blade portions (18,20) that form different angles of attack to the coat of the animal, and one of these angles of attack can be selected by the user for use. A combination of the resiliency of the shedding blade body, the acute angle of each blade portion and the coefficient of friction of the elastomeric material as applied to the coat of the animal produces a superior cleaning action.
