First flea comb ever, so I don't know if there's better out there. Best investment for fighting the war on fleas since expensive meds are hit or miss. We went from completely infested to relief in a couple of weeks by medicating the pets then combing them all daily as they would tolerate it. Now I comb occasionally just to be sure we stay caught up.
We use this comb on my Boxer (short hair) and on our foster/rescue cats and kittens, our own cats too. It does not work with my terrier's longer, course hair unfortunately. Kittens are hard to deal with, but we make it work -- I assume aside from wriggling bodies, their fur is too soft and bones stick out more so you get snagged up and they're unhappy. Works perfectly well on adult cats with short hair (have not tried on longer hair). Fleas like to congregate on the neck/head area and at the tail, so that's our biggest focus.
We can't seem to make it work with rinsing off fleas in a glass of water as the fleas are often caught tight in the comb and then you're trying to put a wet comb on an unhappy cat. So while I need an extra arm, I just juggle holding kitty, combing with one hand, then pinching off the fleas between finger and thumb and squeezing/rolling them until they die. Perhaps I could try tossing them in a bowl of liquid instead? But somehow it works.

Awesome Price!
I used this flea comb on my longhaired papillons and it worked great. The same flea comb sells at Petsmart for $6.99. $2.99 for this comb is a steal! Very happy with my purchase.

My Maltese mix dog’s long hair seems to attract all sorts of grass fleas, gnats, pollen, etc. Whenever we come in from a walk, I like to run a flea comb through her fur to be sure that no unwanted visitors make their way into the house.
I also have the Safari comb Safari® Flea Comb with a Double Row of Teeth but find that for everyday use, I prefer to use this Sentry comb. The teeth on this Sentry comb are longer which does help when combing a long haired dog. Also, the single row of teeth makes it easier to see what I am combing out of her hair.
The Safari comb’s double row of teeth does trap fleas or gnats better but it is more difficult for me to determine what the specs between the teeth might actually be. I do keep a jar of soapy water on the grooming table to rinse the comb after use. An old toothbrush also helps to clear the comb’s teeth.
Both combs can be useful but if you are looking for a comb primarily to trap fleas, the Safari comb will do a better job of that. If, on the other hand, you need a fine comb that will easily remove pollen, grass pieces, etc. along with the occasional flea or gnat, this long toothed Sentry comb excels.
