The present invention relates to an apparatus for taking care of the coat or fur of animals, and including a housing having an approximately rectangular section, a connector acting as a handle for connection to a suction device, a suction chamber and a comb.
Few apparatus exist in the art for effecting treatments on the coat or fur of animals. Combs are known having some hollow teeth whereby it is possible to blow treating products onto the coat. Driers are also known which inject lukewarm air into the coat and are combined with a hair-gathering device. For the hair of human beings, French Pat. No. 1,536,475 discloses a comb associated with a suction case.
The major drawback of apparatus for treating the coat of animals resides in the fact that the chamber in which the treatment is effected becomes charged with dust, hairs or treating products with the resulting risk of allergy of the respiratory tracts of the animals. Further, if it is desired to effect a complete treatment, several successive operations must be carried out.
