Why it matters
KIZO's EU-registered design has a two-sided hooked-blade head: wide teeth for stubborn mats and fine teeth for deshedding. The XL head covers more coat per stroke during shedding season. Rounded stainless edges reduce pulling and scratching; start at the coat ends with short strokes. It suits German Shepherds, Huskies, Great Pyrenees and other long or double coats.
