Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush with Bead-Tip Bristles

Brushing is quicker when you do not have to pick hair out of the bristles by hand. This slicker brush has a button on the back: after you brush, press it and the collected hair is released from the brush, ready to peel off and bin. The body is ABS plastic and is described as waterproof, so it wipes clean.

The bristles are fine bent stainless steel wire topped with round massage beads, designed to reach into the coat and pull out loose hair and undercoat without scratching skin. It suits short and long coats on both dogs and cats, and works on tangles and small mats when you use gentle strokes. Work in short sections, hold any mat at the base so you do not pull, and stop if your pet pulls away.

It comes in blue, gray or pink. No head size is given, so judge the fit from the product photos and choose it for pets with plenty of coat to work through. After each use, press the button, clear the hair and rinse the body under water. Let it dry completely before storing so the wire stays bright.
