What is the name of the grooming tool represented by a Slicker Brush?

Comb
Dematting Rake
Flea Comb
Slicker Brush

The correct answer is: Slicker Brush

A Comb is a grooming tool with evenly spaced teeth typically used for detangling and smoothing out fur. It is not the same as a slicker brush, which is a grooming tool designed specifically for removing mats, tangles, and loose fur. A Dematting Rake is also a type of grooming tool, but it is used for more severe matting and is not the same as a slicker brush. A Flea Comb is a tool used for removing fleas and their eggs from a pet's coat. While it is also used for grooming, it is not the same as a slicker brush as it does not have the same type of bristles or function. A Slicker Brush is a grooming tool with fine, short wires that are close together. It is used to remove mats, tangles, and loose fur from the pet's coat. The name "Slicker" comes from the way that the bristles are arranged, creating a smooth appearance on the pet's coat when used correctly.
