Original Slicker Brush

Disclaimer - I'm a veterinarian, so I know way too much about different brushes and grooming implements. I have always had a love-hate relationship with slicker brushes... love because they're effective and comfortable, and HATE because they are the absolute biggest pain in the butt to clean, especially without damaging the thin bristles, or bending them in such a way that they poke the animal uncomfortably. Now, I have a longhaired senior cat who has twice had to go under anesthesia for removal of massive hairballs. The last time, he received an Rx for a haircut from his Internal Medicine specialist. So we have been on an intensive hair management program - but he hates being brushed. So I'm constantly going through various brushes and combs. My go-to is the Furminator, but my main gripes with it are that it is uncomfortable for the cat (pulls his skin excessively at times) and its blades, even on the long-hair version, fill up with nearly every swipe. It is easy to clean, but when I have a squirming, annoyed cat in one hand, it is difficult to be constantly cleaning the blade out. But it absolutely pulls the most shed hair and undercoat with each swipe. This brush is 10x more comfortable for my cat, while still pulling a decent amount of shed hair. Cleaning it is AMAZING - just press the button, pull the pad of hair off, and it doesn't fill up until after nearly a full session of brushing. It is not taking off as much hair as the Furminator, but the fact that he doesn't get instantly annoyed and thus I can brush for longer and create a more positive experience for him is important.

The design is great. Easy to use and clean. It does not seem to hurt my dog when I brush her.

This brush is pretty good. It does a very good job of actually brushing your cat and being able to get rid of the fur quickly by pressing the release button on the back. My only complaint is it’s a little cheaply made.

So my family has 4 cats, 2 of them long haired. The boy cat, Shadow, and my dad have been thick as thieves. My dad uses a cart as a walker and Shadow will ride it around with dad, watch TV with him, snuggle with him, etc. He was the son my dad never had. Shadow has always treated me like a booty call. In the day time in front of others? Couldn't care less about me. But 3am when he wants snuggles? Slides into my room like, "Hey you up?" just to get some pets and then leave me again. Typical boy. Only problem was Shadow's fur was getting matted. Dad insisted he had the best brush on the market, but the mats spoke for themselves. He tried other methods but Shadow wasn't a fan of those either. We tried a lion cut but he looked so sad afterwards that I will never do that to my baby again. So I did a little Google research and, after seeing some reviews, I tried this one. It's cheap, looked easy to clean, so why not give it a shot? It's been less than a week and already Shadow has forsaken dad for me. Just the first time I tried it he was a big, black fluffball purring happily away. In just a few days I've gone from side chick for snuggles to having him simp. Honestly embarrassing for him. Now any time he feels like he needs a brushing he comes up to me and meows until I give into his demands. Or comes over and puts his head in my hands. Then he just purrs and purrs as I brush him. If I stop, he insists I keep going with aggravated meows. He wants nothing to do with dad now; only brushing. Morning, middle of the day, middle of the night... time is irrelevant to him. He even gets mad if the other cats come around or dare to use HIS brush, even though they love it just as much. All my cats turn into puddles of purrs after just a few brushes. All of their coats are looking shiny and fabulous, though the increase of them catching paws with each other to get brush time has been a bit much. Other than that, I'm happy because the brush is so simple to use and easy to hold onto. Cleaning this brush of fur and dandruff is so much easier to do than normal brushes. My dad has used ones specifically for mats but I've had better success with this one thus far. It makes my short hair cats happy. It can tackle mats on my long hair cats. The cats are obsessed with this brush to the point of abandoning their bonded humans. Only real downside thus far is that I'm going to need to get another one for my dad so his feline son returns to him. So if you want to take good care of your cats coat and can handle them fighting over you, then this brush is great. 5 paws out of 5.

I bought this unit on a Lightning deal on a whim as I have a ShedMonster that works pretty well. I have a long hair cat (Maine coon) a short hair domestic cat (Calico) along with a 15 pound Terrier dog and a 12 pound mutt who is a tripod. Primarily I got it for my Maine Coon cat who would shed like crazy. After sitting on my lap for 15 minutes I'd have enough cat hair to put together a make-shift mini beard on my face. I use this unit almost every day since it arrived, and she loves it. Unlike the ShedMonster, she purrs every time I use this on her and actually lets me brush her without fighting it. After brushing, the clean up is as easy as I've ever seen. The bristles go in with a simple click of the button and the hair is simple to brush away. The reason this gets 5 stars? The Tripod actually lets me brush her - first time I've been able to do this in five years. That's when you know you have a good quality brush that is as described - the pets love it - it probably feels like a good massage to them. And most importantly, shedding is reduced by 90%. Now my maine coon can sit on my lap and I won't have that much fur left on me at all. In fact, sometimes I don't even need to use my lint roller anymore afterward. I would recommend this for any cat or dog you may have. They will like being brushed, it will reduce shedding, and the clean up is as easy and efficient as it gets.

So far ok! I thought I would give them another chance! The one before this one broke early on and I did a fix and it finally gave out. If this one breaks (handle), I will not buy again!

My dog hates to be brushed but will put up with this one for a short time. I love the easy cleaning, just push the button and the bristles retract leaving you a nice little pad of fur - remove & toss (unless you are making a fur sweater or some sort of pet memorabilia) - push the button again and voila, your brush is ready for use.

J’ai testé pas mal de brosses pour chats, mais celle-ci sort clairement du lot. Mon chat n’est pas toujours très coopératif quand il s'agit de toilettage, mais avec la Hertzko, ça passe beaucoup mieux. Les picots sont suffisamment souple pour ne pas irriter la peau, tout en attrapant bien les poils morts. Le gros plus, c’est le système autonettoyant. On appuie sur le bouton, la plaque se rétracte, et les poils s’enlèvent d’un coup, sans avoir à galérer à les retirer à la main. Vraiment pratique au quotidien, surtout quand on brosse souvent. Bonne prise en main, facile à nettoyer, et solide dans le temps. Un excellent accessoire pour entretenir le pelage de son chat sans prise de tête.

excelente escova, a melhor que ja adquirir ate hoje, vale a pena o preço

Wir haben ein Britisch langhaar mit viiiiiel Fell . Ich habe nur ganz kurz gebürstet.(nicht mal eine Minute) Ich war positiv überrascht wieviel die Bürste in der kurzen Zeit raus hatte. Mein Kater lässt sich nicht gerne kämmen aber das ging ohne Probleme. Unser Kitten (Norwegische Waldkatze) hat sich ebenfalls gut kämmen lassen . Ich kann sie echt nur empfehlen. Sie sieht auch aus als wäre die Qualität gut. Sie liegt gut in der Hand . Das reinigen ist dank des Knopfes ein Kinderspiel . Da ja jeder was negatives hören will… hier kommt es . Mein Kopf klackert etwas . Mich und die Katzen stört es aber nicht . Aber irgendjemand findet es vielleicht schrecklich . Also hab ich es mal erwähnt bevor jemand entsetzt ist 😉 Über den Blitzversand muss ich glaub ich nichts sagen . Amazon ist unschlagbar . Gestern bestellt und heute da . 🫶🏻 Für mich war und ist die Bürste jeden Cent wert .

Perfecto para los perros. Es el segundo que adquiero

I tried this slicker brush on 2 of my furbabies and they absolutely love it. The self cleaning was such an additional boost too! Highly recommended!
