Abstract
The present invention may comprise a grooming and dematting tool with a housing, a plurality of tines extending outward from the housing, each tine linked with a linkage arm, each linkage arm independently activated by a crankshaft to urge the distal ends of each tine back and forth, up, and down, or in other translational or extending movement pattern. The tines urge hair or fur of a pet to untangle or remove knots, snags, matting, and imperfections in the coat, while optionally cooperating with scissoring cutting blades to cut hair from the coat of the pet.
