Jodi Murphy Grooming Products

What is carding? Carding is a grooming technique used by professional dog groomers and dog show handlers to effectively remove the undercoat from shedding breeds. The process involves using a carding blade, which features grooves that filter through the coat, capturing only the hair that is ready to be shed and released from the follicle. The blade must be used at an approximate 30-degree angle to remove coat properly. Once the dead coat is removed, the coat will shine and appear healthier, promoting healthy skin. Carding knives, used for decades, are available for right- and left-handed users and must be used at the proper angle to effectively remove the coat. The Coat Tender, designed by world-renowned groomer, Jodi Murphy, is the ultimate carding tool. It features a patented, user-friendly design suitable for all skill levels. Its in-line handle makes it ambidextrous, and the preset blade angle ensures proper technique. This unique design also flexes with the pet's natural anatomy, enhancing the grooming experience. The Coat Tender is made with a high-quality stainless steel blade, manufactured in the USA, and is available in fine, medium, and coarse options.
