An implement to groom a pet's coat and remove shed hair by means of a modulated array of combs. The comb array graduates from coarse to fine, with respect to tine to tine spacing, row to row spacing, and tine diameter, in a direction opposed to the grooming motion. The tines, which are aligned to a curved surface, also have modulated length, row by row, from long to short, so that the combs collect shed hair from the base of, and throughout, the pet's coat. The aforementioned modulation enables the user to detangle and deshed a pet's coat using this single implement. There is also an integral self-cleaning mechanism, which amplifies the user's input, to produce a large cleaning stroke to remove collected hair, including the coarse region with long tines. The cleaning cross-bar sub-assembly has a minimal form factor, in keeping with the implement's lightweight and ergonomic design.
