Which tool is used to loosen undercoat?

• A. Nail clippers
• B. Brush
• C. Comb
• D. Undercoat rake

Answer: (D)

Loosening undercoat requires a tool designed to reach the dense layer close to the skin. An undercoat rake uses long pins to lift and pull out loose undercoat fibers, making shedding easier and helping prevent matting without damaging the topcoat. This targeted action is why it’s the best choice for this task. Nails clippers don’t affect the coat. A brush or comb can remove some surface hair, but they aren’t as effective at loosening a thick undercoat as the rake, which is specifically designed for that purpose.
