Designed to glide smoothly through the coat, the Buttercomb features grounded and rounded teeth, rounded corners and a seamless construction to help reduce snagging, friction and hair breakage. It is suitable for professional groomers, dog show exhibitors and pet owners grooming at home.
Suitable for dogs and cats, the Chris Christensen Buttercomb is ideal for everyday grooming and is particularly suited to scissored breeds, Setters and Spaniels.
Why Choose the Chris Christensen Fine/Coarse Buttercomb?
A good grooming comb should do more than simply move through the top layer of the coat. The Chris Christensen Fine/Coarse Buttercomb helps you check your grooming work from the coat through to the skin, making it easier to identify missed tangles and areas that require further brushing.
The combination of two tooth spacings gives you greater flexibility in one professional grooming tool.

Fine and Coarse Teeth in One Professional Comb
The Chris Christensen #000 Buttercomb features two different tooth spacings, allowing one comb to perform multiple grooming tasks.
Coarse Side
The coarse end features teeth spaced at approximately 8 teeth per inch.
Use the coarse side for an initial comb-through after brushing to check the coat for snags, missed tangles and areas that may need additional grooming. It is particularly useful for general grooming and thicker or denser coats.
Fine Side
The fine end features teeth spaced at approximately 11 teeth per inch.
Use the fine side for a second, more detailed check of the coat. It is ideal for finer or thinner coats and can also be used for fluffing, finishing and creating a neat, polished appearance.
How to Use the Chris Christensen Fine/Coarse Buttercomb
For best results, use the Buttercomb as part of your regular grooming routine.
Step 1: Brush and Detangle the Coat
Begin by thoroughly brushing the coat with an appropriate grooming brush. If you find mats or tangles, work on removing them with the correct brush or detangling tools before forcing a comb through the coat.
Step 2: Use the Coarse End
After brushing, use the coarse end of the Buttercomb to gently check the coat for snags, tangles and missed areas.
Work methodically through the coat using line-combing techniques where appropriate.
Step 3: Address Any Remaining Tangles
If the comb catches, do not pull or force it through the coat. Return to your brush or suitable detangling tool and gently work through the tangle before checking the area again.
Step 4: Use the Fine End
Once the coarse side moves smoothly through the coat, use the fine end for a second check.
The finer spacing helps ensure the coat has been thoroughly groomed and is also useful for fluffing and finishing.
Step 5: Finish the Groom
Use the fine side to fluff furnishings and tails and create a neat, polished finish.

What Is Line Combing?
Line combing is a grooming technique where the coat is worked through in small sections rather than combing only over the surface.
This helps you check deeper into the coat and identify tangles or mats that may otherwise remain hidden beneath the top layer of hair.
The Chris Christensen Fine/Coarse Buttercomb is well suited to this type of grooming because the coarse side can be used for an initial check, followed by the finer side for a more detailed comb-through.
Why Use a Fine and Coarse Comb?
A dual-sided grooming comb gives you the flexibility of two different tooth spacings in one tool.
The coarse side is useful for an initial check and for general grooming of thicker or denser coats.
The fine side is designed for a more detailed comb-through, finer coats and finishing work.
Using both sides can help you work progressively through the coat rather than relying on one tooth spacing for every grooming task.
