The 8 Best Undercoat Rakes for Huskies

1. Pet Republique Dematting Tool, Rake Style with 6+11 Dual-Side Blades – Best Overall

The Pet Republique Dematting Tool features 6 teeth on one side and 11 on the other, with blades that are sharp on the inside edge but rounded on the outside, a design that breaks apart mats far more effectively than a standard rake while remaining gentle on the skin underneath. The stainless steel teeth are built to hold up over years of regular use without loosening or falling apart, and the non-slip ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to grip even during longer sessions on a stubborn mat.

The technique that works best with this tool is picking rather than pulling. Working at a mat in small sections lets the blades do the job without yanking on your dog’s skin, which matters a great deal when you are dealing with a sensitive or wriggly Husky.

For tackling a genuinely matted Husky coat rather than just everyday loose hair, it does a more thorough job than a standard rake, which is why it is our top choice for the best undercoat rakes for Huskies.

2. Pet Republique Undercoat Rake – Best Value

This is an instrument that looks less substantial than our top pick but still works well for your undercoat needs. The plastic handle has a rubber grip that will allow you to get through your Husky’s big coat of fur without slipping. The rake was designed ergonomically, so you won’t have to get into bizarre positions while raking.

The rakes are made with curved or blunt tips so that there’s no way you can scratch your pet while brushing them. We know that sometimes, you really have to get in there, but with this rake, you don’t have to worry about finding the balance between pushing too hard and doing a thorough job.

Considering the price, it is amazing how well the Pet Republique tool works. Those who have used it to tame the wild hair of their pets are simply stunned by how much loose hair it can pull out of an undercoat. Many pet groomers have pointed out that it is a wonderful tool for making sure that your Husky doesn’t get mats in their hair, but it isn’t necessarily so great if your pet already has matted hair, in which case you might need a slicker brush.

While some rakes have blades, this rake has dull teeth. It certainly serves its purpose, but it isn’t a complete tool to get mats out of your pup’s fur. However, it’s the best brush for undercoats that target dead hair for the money.

3. JW Pet Gripsoft Double Row Undercoat Rake – Premium Choice

The JW Pet Gripsoft Double Row Undercoat Rake costs a little more than other undercoat rakes, but the manufacturers appreciate the time and effort it takes to keep a Husky looking and feeling good. It has a rubber handle that increases your comfort when you’re raking your dog’s fur.

It also has a non-slip grip, and you can comb straight after bathing or after you’ve applied lotions and shampoo. The rake includes two lengths of teeth that are shaped to prevent raking the skin while keeping the undercoat in top condition. While the JW Pet Gripsoft may cost a few dollars more, it provides a better experience for you and your dog.

However, it works better for Huskies and other dogs with long hair, but if you’re shopping for a rake that will work on short-haired breeds, you should consider one of the other rakes on our list.

4. Safari Double Row Rotating Pins Undercoat Rake

For a Husky’s seriously thick double coat, two rows of pins do a more thorough job than one, and that is exactly what the Safari Double Row brings to the table. The two rows feature dual-length pins, with the longer row reaching deeper into the undercoat while the shorter row catches what is closer to the surface, so you cover more of the coat in a single pass. The precision-tapered pins penetrate deeply to remove mats and tangles before they become a real problem, and the rotating design follows the contours of your dog’s body more naturally than a fixed rake, reducing the tugging that makes grooming sessions unpleasant for sensitive dogs.

The pins are rounded at the tips for added comfort, so there is little risk of scratching even on a dog that wriggles during brushing. A double row rake like this one requires a bit more arm strength to pull through very matted areas compared to a single row tool, so it works best as part of a regular grooming routine rather than an occasional deep clean on a badly tangled coat. For Husky owners dealing with heavy shedding seasons, the extra coverage from the double row makes a genuine difference.

5. FURminator Grooming Rake

The FURminator Grooming Tool does an excellent job at removing loose fur from a Husky’s coat. Since it’s not designed to de-mat, you might have issues using it if you don’t regularly groom your pet. On the other hand, it provides a comfortable experience for your pet, as the tips of this brush are rounded, so there is no chance of it digging in and scratching your pup’s skin.

The handle is made entirely of rubber, so your hand won’t slip while using it, and the head is tilted to make the process easier. While not as sturdy as some of the metal and wood undercoat rakes on our list, the FURminator has a thick layer of plastic that shouldn’t break during the process.

Most customers who use it to eliminate the undercoat fur were pleased with the results. Some reported that if your dog’s undercoat is extra rough, the handle slips right off. This seems to only happen in some cases, however.

6. Safari Undercoat Dog Rake

Here is another tool with rounded teeth that may be more suited for your dog’s comfort than the well-being of their luscious coat. It’s another plastic undercoat rake, and while it isn’t a bad tool, it isn’t quite as good as those listed above. The plastic handle is fine but doesn’t have as much coverage on the grip to make sure that your hand doesn’t slip while grooming.

While it feels substantial enough, it’s a little flimsy. The Safari rake works best if you regularly groom your Husky with a pin brush. This is a great tool for dogs with medium-length coats, but you might find it disappointing for your Husky. It will take longer to rake the undercoat out when you brush a dog with long hair.

Owners of short-haired dogs loved it, while those with Huskies just think it is okay. One problem is that Safari has no return policy, so you are stuck with it if you buy it and hate it.

7. Poodle Pet Dog Grooming Rake

The Poodle Pet Grooming Rake is different because it has two rows of teeth and is made of plastic. You still get a rubber grip, however. The metal pins are designed for the comfort of your pet, but having two rows will aid in the process of removing their undercoat. It has been made so you can groom your pup, whether they are wet or dry.

The name of the brand, Poodle Pet, may lead you to believe that this is only good for Poodles, and while it is best brushed for that breed, those with Huskies will also find it useful. It can remove up to 90% of the dead hair that accumulates in the undercoat.

Those who have purchased this for their Poodles love it, but there is a big difference between the coat of a Poodle and the coat of a Husky. A Poodle’s hair is curly, and the Husky has a straight, thick fur. You may have issues getting through their coat with this rake.

8. ConairPRO Dog Grooming Rake

The ConairPRO Grooming Rake is a fine product, but compared to the rest of our list, it doesn’t offer anything special. Compared to the rest of Conair’s catalog, it is certainly forgettable. It is made of plastic and has one row of blunt-tipped pins. The pins themselves aren’t that long, and the design of the rake is less than ergonomic.

This tool might make it nearly impossible to get all the way down to your Husky’s skin for detangling and de-matting. As for getting rid of dead and loose hair? This tool can do it, but it will take a long time. You might even consider getting a slicker brush for that.
