Collection: Carding Tools

Refine the Coat. Reveal the Texture.

Carding is an essential step in the grooming process — removing dead undercoat and preparing the coat for hand stripping or finishing. The Groomer.dk carding tools are precision-crafted to work efficiently through the coat without disrupting the outer jacket.

What’s in this collection?

  • Black Diamond Super Fine Carding Knife — ambidextrous design for precise undercoat removal on wire and harsh-coated breeds
  • Blue Diamond Edition Carding Knife — professional-grade carding, also ambidextrous, suited for a wide range of coat types
  • Spratts Banded Comb (Coarse) — a versatile classic excellent for undercoat removal and pulling hair on spaniels and setters; updated with more comb teeth for a more efficient pull

Why card?

  • Removes dead undercoat — keeps the coat healthy and reduces bulk without cutting
  • Refines coat texture — smooths and prepares the jacket for a clean, show-ready finish
  • Ambidextrous — comfortable and effective for both left- and right-handed groomers
  • Extends the life of the strip — regular carding keeps the coat in better condition between full hand strips

Whether you’re prepping for the show ring or maintaining a pet trim, carding is the step that separates a good groom from a great one.

Find the right fit

Chest

Measure the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.

Neck

Measure the base of the neck where a collar would sit.

Using the tape

Use a flexible fabric measuring tape. Keep it snug, not tight—one finger should slide underneath. Measure in inches.

Choosing a size

Choose the size range that includes your measurement. If you fall between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit.
