10 Best Flea Combs UK 2024 | ROSEWOOD, Wahl and More

The double row of fine teeth on this comb from Safari is excellent for trapping live fleas. When combing fleas out, they often escape before you can deal with them, but not anymore! This comb will successfully pick up eggs, larvae, flea detritus and loose hairs.

The teeth of the comb are also rounded, not sharp, so they won't cause your pet distress. You'll need a bowl of hot soapy water and an old toothbrush to clean it, but according to many reviewers, it's well worth the extra hassle! 

Finally, a flea comb which isn't made of plastic! The handle of the comb is made from bamboo, which can be composted, and the stainless steel teeth can be recycled, so this zero-waste comb is the perfect option for any eco-minded pet owner.

The rounded ends of the teeth are flexible and durable, plus they offer a massaging effect as well as removing fleas and eggs - in fact, pets often actually enjoy the sensation of this comb! The long and ergonomically shaped handle also enables excellent grip and control throughout even the longest grooming sessions.

As it looks very much like a human nit comb, we know that this design will do the job if the teeth are close enough together, which, thankfully, is the case. Make sure you thoroughly brush your pet's fur to remove any tangles before using this comb, though, as the teeth are very small. 

The white plastic material of this comb also allows you to spot fleas easily, meaning you should be able to complete the task quicker. Just dunk the comb into warm soapy water to dispose of the unwanted guests before they can leap away.

Small enough to virtually conceal in your palm, Rosewood's mini flea comb offers a calmer grooming solution for cats or dogs scared of regular-sized combs and brushes. As long as they are short-haired, this comb will do the job!

The ergonomic handle has raised grips, so it won't slip even when combing the densest part of the fur - which is often where most fleas are found. Comb small sections at a time and remove the comb every few strokes for an inspection of the prongs.

The pet flea comb from Groom Room (housed inside Pets At Home stores) is a design that their professional groomers use regularly. As you'd expect, the comb is suitable for cats, kittens, dogs and puppies, with all coat types. 

Secure and closely-spaced teeth are the key to an effective flea comb, and luckily, this product has them both. Reviewers love how robust the comb feels as the barrel handle is comfortable to hold from all angles, rather like a human hairbrush.

Next, we have a product suitable for use on any type of coat - even those with wiry-haired dogs report success. The long prongs on the comb are closely spaced and well secured, with rounded tips for your pet's comfort. Do be extra careful when brushing short-haired pets though, as you may catch their skin if you press too hard.

The long handle means you can keep a good few centimetres away from the fleas you extract, plus, the handle is soft and can be comfortably held at any angle. This is especially useful when you have to brush unruly pets!

The simple and practical design of this handle ensures excellent grip without any nooks and crannies for fleas to become trapped or concealed. The handle's length also helps keep the fleas away from your skin, which is great for those who are a little squeamish!

The rounded teeth of the comb mean they're gentle on your pets skin, plus they are perfectly spaced to trap eggs and fleas. However, the drawback of this comb is that the fleas match the black casing, so they can be hard to spot!

This German-designed comb from PetPäl has an attractive, ergonomic handle, which reviewers find comfortable to hold. This is excellent news as you'll need to use a flea comb daily to properly combat an infestation.

The 61 stainless-steel teeth are softly-rounded, which prevents any unpleasant scratching of the skin while you groom large sections of the coat at once. Overall, this is a great flea comb - it's only so far down on our list due to the price! 

Masterclip's bold and bright comb has a single row of stainless steel teeth, so while it is durable, it's not the best for trapping live fleas. That said, the red rubber soft-grip handle, adorned with cute black paw prints, is sure to make you smile!

The teeth are pretty stubby and compact, so this comb is only really suitable for short to medium-haired pets, as the prongs won't be able to reach down to the skin on longer-haired breeds. However, it is very easy to clean.

This flea comb from Wahl is excellent at doing its job, plus it's suitable for use on all breeds. The teeth also have a durable, sturdy design and feature rounded, stainless steel bristles to protect your pet from getting scratched while grooming.

The unique squishy handle, which is very comfortable to hold, is, in fact, its only downfall. Everything sticks to it - pet hair, flea detritus, dry skin - which makes it pretty unpleasant by the time you have done a couple of strokes. It can be easily rinsed under the tap, but it is time-consuming to keep it clean.
