Two things every Husky owner can almost certainly count on is that their dog will have a lot to say and plenty of hair to shed. Few breeds are as well-insulated as the Husky; they were bred to live and work in the coldest climates. Huskies shed at least some hair year-round, but about twice a year, they do a complete “blow” of their undercoat, and the shedding intensifies to the next level.

Husky owners may reach for a de-shedding tool to help control their hair, but with so many brands available, which is the best choice for you? In this article, we’ve gathered reviews of what we believe are the best de-shedding tools for Huskies this year.

The 10 Best De-shedding Tools for Huskies

1. FURminator Long Hair De-shedding Tool – Best Overall

Our pick for the best overall de-shedding tool for Huskies is the FURminator Long Hair Dog De-shedding Tool. It’s designed with input from actual groomers and features a curved blade that gets under your Husky’s topcoat to remove the undercoat. Regular brushes often can’t reach down far enough to reach the undercoat, which is responsible for the heavy shedding that Husky owners experience.

The Furminator doesn’t have that problem and is also comfortable to hold, a bonus for long grooming sessions. This tool also features a “Furejector” button for easy cleaning. However, the Furminator could damage your dog’s topcoat or skin if it’s not used properly. Most users reported that regularly using it significantly reduced the amount of loose hair in their homes.

2. JW Pet Gripsoft Undercoat Rake – Best Value

Our choice for the best de-shedding tool for Huskies for the money is the JW Pet Gripsoft Undercoat Rake. It has a comfortable, non-slip handle and targets your Husky’s undercoat, removing dead hair and loosening mats. It features round-tipped teeth rather than a blade, which can prevent damaging your Husky’s skin.

You’ll likely need to combine this rake with a more traditional brush to remove loose hair from your dog’s body. This undercoat rake is not self-cleaning and doesn’t hold onto the hair during brushing. Some customers mentioned that grooming sessions with the JW Pet brush can get quite messy due to this. However, most found it helped keep their homes cleaner by reducing shedding.

3. Hertzko Self-Cleaning De-shedding Tool – Premium Choice

The Hertzko Self-Cleaning Dog and Cat De-shedding Tool will get the job done no matter what length your Husky’s coat is. The curved blade is comfortable for your dog and helps reduce skin irritation. This de-shedding tool bypasses the Husky’s topcoat to remove the stubborn undercoat. As you brush, the blade gives your pup a massage, too.

The Hertzko tool is also easy to clean thanks to the fur ejecting button that quickly releases collected hair. The manufacturer claims this tool can reduce shedding by up to 95%. Some pet parents said that the Hertzko is effective at controlling shedding. However, others reported having issues with the brush head falling off randomly.

4. Frisco Grooming Glove – Best for Puppies

For a Husky puppy, you can try Frisco’s Grooming Glove. The soft rubber knobs are gentle on the dog’s skin, and the glove is ideal for puppies who run when they see a grooming brush. The one-size-fits-all design is only available in a right-handed glove

It collects hair as you groom and is easy to clean afterward by simply rinsing it with water and letting it air-dry. Frisco’s glove won’t be helpful to you when your Husky gets bigger, as most users report less-than-stellar results on adult dogs.

5. Paws and Pals Dog and Cat De-shedding Tool

The Paws and Pals Dog and Cat De-shedding Tool is gentle on your Husky’s skin but effective at removing undercoat and dander. It helps stimulate the natural coat and skin oils during brushing, leaving your pup’s fur shiny and soft. The soft grip handle is designed for comfort during marathon brushing sessions. That’s good because the brush has a shorter blade than some of the others on our list.

Depending on your dog’s size, using this brush could take more time to complete an entire grooming session. Consider it an “in-between” option when your pup outgrows the grooming gloves but before they reach full size. The Paws and Pals brush is not self-cleaning, but the teeth are designed to be easy to clean. As a bonus, some dog owners mentioned that it does a great job removing hair from furniture and fabric!

6. ConAir Pro Dog Undercoat Rake

If you’re looking for a comfortable de-shedding tool, the ConAir Pro Dog Undercoat Rake features a memory gel handle for easy control while grooming your Husky. Made with pins instead of a blade, the ConAir Rake reaches the undercoat without damaging the topcoat or skin. Loose hair is no match for this rake, and it’s also excellent at removing burs if your Husky loves to run through the woods.

Choose the model with longer pins (3/4 inch) for thick-coated breeds like the Husky. Unfortunately, this de-shedding tool isn’t self-cleaning but does collect hair during brushing. Some customers said that the ConAir removed fur effectively, but the handle occasionally leaks gel.

7. Hartz Groomer’s Best Fur Fetcher De-shedding Dog Brush

This uniquely designed de-shedding tool uses micro combs to penetrate beneath your Husky’s topcoat to help control shedding. The Hartz Groomer’s Best Fur Fetcher De-shedding Dog Brush is gentle enough for frequent use without irritating skin. The handle is comfortable to hold and gives you adequate control as you brush.

The Hartz brush holds onto hair as you brush, but without a self-cleaning feature, you’ll need to wipe it by hand frequently. Some users found that the pins on this brush bend easily and snag on their dog’s fur while brushing. Overall, most dog owners liked it and said their dogs tolerated it well.

8. ThunderPaws Best Professional De-shedding Tool

With thousands of satisfied customers, the ThunderPaws Best Professional De-shedding Tool and Pet Grooming Tool is one of the most popular brushes. The non-slip handle makes grooming sessions comfortable for you and fast for your dog. Just a quick 15-minute brushing can keep your Husky’s shedding under control.

The brush isn’t self-cleaning, but the blades are removable, making clean-up easier. A protective cover is also included to help the brush last longer. Some pet parents said that the ThunderPaws was easy to use and doesn’t require much pressure to be effective. They also appreciated that it was reasonably priced.

9. Bissell Furget It All-In-One Grooming Brush

The Bissell Furget It All-In-One Grooming Brush is double-sided and suitable for de-shedding your Husky and removing any mats that might be present. It’s made with rounded teeth to protect your dog’s skin while brushing and features an ergonomic handle for your comfort during grooming.

The Bissel is lightweight and easy to use, and it works on all coat types, including thick Husky fur. The brush is not self-cleaning and may not be effective for removing very tough mats. Some users found that the brush pulled their Husky’s hair.

10. Safari Dual-Sided Shedding Blade Dog Grooming Tool

The Safari Dual-Sided Shedding Blade Dog Grooming Tool doesn’t reach as far into the undercoat as some of the other tools on our list, but it’s fantastic at removing loose hair quickly and easily. For even faster grooming, unhook the handles to create a wide surface. One side of the blade features coarser teeth for removing hair, while the other is finer to smooth and beautify as a final touch.

Your Husky will look sharp, and you’ll be happy that your home is less covered in hair. Dogs that aren’t the biggest fans of rakes or sharp-bladed de-shedding tools can tolerate this one better. However, some users found it a little flimsy, while others worried it pulled out too much of the topcoat.

Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Best De-shedding Tool for Huskies

Now that we’ve covered 10 of the top de-shedding options for Huskies, here are some points to keep in mind as you narrow down your choices.

Blades vs. Teeth

The most common design of these de-shedding tools is either a blade or individual teeth. Both are generally effective, but you have to be more cautious when brushing with a blade like the Furminator. When used incorrectly, the blades can damage your Husky’s topcoat or skin. Rounded teeth are more forgiving and require less attention to detail to use.

Brush Size

Huskies can come in a range of sizes. Many Husky hybrid dogs, like the Pomsky, also have a double coat but are much smaller than purebred Huskies. Consider the size of your dog when deciding which brush to get. This is less of a concern if you aren’t worried about how long your grooming sessions take. However, if you have only limited time each day, you may prefer a de-shedding tool that works more efficiently.

Ease of Cleaning

Because of the amount of hair a Husky can produce, you can expect to be cleaning out any de-shedding tool you use frequently during a grooming session. When buying a tool, you’ll want to consider how easy it is to clean. We reviewed several self-cleaning options, as well as one with removable blades. How well does the de-shedding tool hold hair during brushing? If it doesn’t hold on to the loose fur, you won’t have to worry about cleaning the brush, but whatever location you brush your Husky in will probably be a mess.

Conclusion

As our best overall pick, the Furminator Dog De-shedding Tool offers effective hair control with a handy self-cleaning feature. Our best value pick, the JW Pet Gripsoft Undercoat Rake, is gentle on the skin while still providing good penetration to the undercoat.

A sturdy de-shedding tool is an essential grooming tool that Husky owners should invest in. We hope our reviews of these 10 de-shedding tools were informative, and we’re confident your Husky will grow to appreciate the brush you select.
