Hertzko Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush for Deshedding Long and Short-Haired Pets - Small Size Grooming Rake and Comb for Dogs and Cats

I've had this brush for 7 months now and it's been a solid part of my de-shedding routine with my small (11 lbs) mixed breed dogs. One sheds year round and the other doesn't have as much of an undercoat despite having very thick fur. This brush picks up every bit of loose undercoat on my heavy shedder. It does the job very efficiently and is so easy to use. The tips of the wire bristles are all capped so there's no painful scraping on the dog's skin and the clever way the bristles drop into the hard plastic head of the brush with just a push of the button eliminates the difficult job of pulling the fur out of a regular slicker brush. So much easier to clean! I love it. The purple color was definitely a factor in buying this de-shed brush over some of the others listed. The photos show how much undercoat is picked up only one week since the last time I brushed him. I had tried an Equigroomer before this one but my dogs don't like that de-shedder at all.

I needed a dog brush for my newly adopted four legged friend. The thought of dealing with dog hair flying in the air, all over me, and especially stuck in the brush was quite unappetizing! When I stumbled across this little gadget I thought, "yeah, right." Whoever hear of a dog brush with retracting prongs that would eliminate the problem of cleaning out hair stuck in the bristles. But I felt it was worth a try since the price was quite reasonable. The brush arrived well packaged and undamaged. I immediately tested the retractable bristles, and much to my surprise it worked just as described! That is all well and good, but what about when those little capped prongs are full of dog hair? So, out on the deck we march, my Doberman and me. Fortunately he loves to be brushed and appears as if he would fall asleep on his feet as long as he is being brushed. The experiment began with the brushing commencing down his back, then legs, then belly and finally neck. Needless to say, the brush was quite full of dog hair when I finally stopped. Now for the real test. It was time to push the purple button on the back of the brush. With anxious anticipation and low expectations the button was pushed. But what to my doubtful eyes should appear, but a mat of dog hair resting atop the brush with bristles nowhere in sight! I simply brushed the little hair mat away. I have used this brush multiple times over the past 6 months with the same results, and it continues to work well. Usually I follow up brushing with a pair of grooming gloves with a rubber palm with nubby prongs. These gloves allow for deeper, massaging pressure releasing more hair. I use them so that I do not have to press too hard with the brush since my dog does not have a thick coat. I do not see this as a drawback to the brush, but some might. The brush is constructed of a sturdy plastic with an ergonomic handle. The button is easy to reach and to push with just one finger or the thumb while still holding the brush. Cleaning is simple; just retract the bristles and sweep the hair away. The retracted bristles contribute to easy storage. One can choose either soft (ends are topped with a tiny plastic cap) or the non-smooth (without the cap); I chose the soft capped bristles since my dog is short haired without an undercoat. Using this grooming tool, brushing my dog is a pleasure for both of us. I can recommend this product without reservation. Top 3 Likes: -Sturdy plastic with a easily manipulated button enabling bristles to retract and extend exactly as promised -Ergonomically sound in the hand and easy for an arthritic hand to use -Easily packed with other grooming tools in travel luggage Top 3 Dislikes: -Hair still needs to be brushed off of the surface -No instructions on how to clean the brush when it gets dirty (not with hair) -Does not get quite as much hair off as the grooming gloves do

My cat loves this brush so much he tries to pick it up and brush his face! Works like a dream. So rad and easy to clean with the retractable bristles. Buy it!

I have a lot more cats than any sane person should, and with that all the fur you can shake a stick at! This brush is lightweight, the button is easy to push. Comb retracts and extends out of the case smoothly and my cats have all enjoyed a good brushing. Aside from one who is scared of the clicking noise, and well, he's scared if you look at him funny. I like how the hair comes off the brush in strips so I can easily just lay them on each other or tap the brush onto one and continue brushing quickly. Long hair, short hair, the brush has moved smoothly through and hasn't tangled or pulled on anyone. I honestly would reccomend this.

Wow, got this on sale and we were very impressed with the quality. The materials are solid and it's great to have the button to lower the bristles and just wipe off the hair in one swoop. The brush is not too hard for our little Yorkie and so it should be suitable for most any breed.

I bought this brush to help manage my cat's shedding, and it works wonderfully. My cat is super fluffy and sheds a lot, which used to make my allergies worse. This brush removes tons of loose hair, and it's surprisingly gentle—my cat usually hates grooming, but with this brush, he actually tolerates it (and might even enjoy it sometimes!). I can tell by the purring. The self-cleaning feature is what makes this brush stand out. With other brushes, I always had to wrestle with pulling out clumps of hair that got stuck between the bristles. With this one, just press the button, and all the fur comes off. It's such a time-saver compared to other brushes I've tried. It’s oddly satisfying to see how much fur it collects each time. The handle is comfortable, the brush is lightweight, and it feels well-made—no signs of wear after multiple uses. Overall, I’m really satisfied. This brush is better than others I've used, especially for its cleaning mechanism and my cat's improved reaction. I’d definitely recommend it to other pet owners looking for a convenient way to reduce shedding. And its gentle on his skin. Pros: Effective at removing loose fur. Self-cleaning is easy and efficient. Gentle on the pet, comfortable to use.

This is good for the pets who have a lot of hair, easy to use and easy to clean up after brushing their hair, the size is just right. And it is good work for my Great Pyrenees

Works ok but is clunky to use and doesn’t really help in tight areas.

This purchase was great!!! Excellent quality, good size and a nice comfortable handle, removes hair so easily, it’s not heavy to hold, and will last for some time. and was really good value for money.

Diese Bürste liebt meine Katze. Sie kämmt schonend und reinigt sich selbst. Toll!

Buen producto, ha venido rápido.

The item arrived open and has a very bad quality. It is not as shown in the pictures and also missing the plastic tips, it is bending and very thin and hurting my pups skin. I am returning this item as is very bad.

Non avendo mai provato la Coral Slicker Brush di Christ Christensen, a cui questo prodotto era stato paragonato, non so dire quanto sia effettivamente simile, però è molto efficace e il meccanismo per far scorrere la testa e sfilare il pelo è di estrema comodità quindi sono molto felice di questo acquisto. Per contesto, il cane su cui lo uso è un pastore australiano a pelo medio, ovviamente spazzolare è essenziale, e ovviamente viene via una gran quantità di sottopelo come dovrebbe.
