Best cat brushes according to redditors

We have one of these and it is pretty satisfying to push the button and have the hair come off in a sheet.

EDIT: This particular self-cleaning slicker can be bought from Amazon.

Great reviews though.

> I use this to chase cats away from my yard, or rather, the owners of said cats know not to let their cats loose in our neighborhood unattended. It turns out that there are ordinances in my city against indecent exposure, so I do need to wear a banana hammock while using this product outside of my home. I also think that the initial impression of a 280# man bearing down on an animal at top speed, mewling and slobbering, with a slab of silicone dangling from his mouth may initially be off-putting for some cats. But, once I have wrestled them to the ground and the clawing and biting has subsided, I can begin licking the cat until its horrified owner returns home from work to ask what I am doing. Obviously, the cat was on my property, and I can lick anything that I want on my property. Plus, I am using protection, as this silicone barrier prevents the spread of disease. I'm often told, "Well, that's MY cat!" To which I say, "Then get your own Licki brush, because this is obviously the reason that YOUR cat keeps wandering onto MY lawn." I rarely see the cat again. In fact, my neighbors make a conscious effort to avoid eye contact, which is an added bonus.

Here it is

EDIT: This first link I posted sold out, here's another one you cat fiends.

EDITA NUMBAH 2: Let's just clean out the whole damn site, second link is almost depleted so here's another.

Bought one on Amazon for like $5, same model. The second I stuck it on the wall my cat was all over that bad boy for like 10min.

They can have catnip in them, so it might not just be enjoying the scratching.

It's a corner brush.

I use three different tools - a standard plastic comb, which is good for combing out the long haired one and giving them a quick tidy up if they look a bit dusty, this one for general hair reduction and scratchies on both of them, and I just got this one which is amazing for taking out hair they're going to shed soon. I know it says it's for dogs, but they use it at my local grooming place and it just takes out clouds of excess fur. I tend to use the wire brush most, the plastic comb once a day or so for general tidying up and back scratchies, and I just use the major hair removal one when I can see they've got some hair to shed, maybe once a week or so (still testing it out).

Doing it in the bathroom is good because it's so much easier to clean up, and if you do it every day there's little enough coming off that you can just leave it on the wire brush for next time and throw any stray tufts in the trash. It's just like brushing your hair I guess - if you brush it properly every day you don't shed hair all over everything.

Thinking about it, this also works on long-haired roommates and partners, but you'd need a different bush and an interesting relationship...

I got one of these from PetSmart and my cat uses is almost daily for her face brushies.

It’s called a “self groomer” and made by a company called CatIt. I couldn’t find a specific listing on the PetSmart site, but here’s a listing on Amazon for the one we have.

Update: I found the exact one from the video on Amazon, dubbed “2.0”. It seems really the only difference is the colour (grey instead of blue).

How long have you had your cat?

When I first adopted mine from the shelter, her fur wasn't in the best shape. She had kitty dandruff and shed a lot. Now that I've had her a while her fur is longer, thicker, and healthier, and the shedding is minimal, except when she was stressed out when she stayed with a friend for a week -- then she was shedding TONS of fur when I brought her home.

It's my understanding that one of the things that really influences fur/skin health is the food your cat eats. If you aren't already, you might try gradually switching to high quality foods -- ones that are high in good protein and low in grains and carbohydrates. If your budget allows you can feed part or all wet food too, and mix the wet food with some water (to increase hydration) and occasionally a splash of oil (like olive or salmon) to help with fur health. Of course, consult your vet on these matters!

A good brush can also help. I've got this one which I like because of the easy fur removal after brushing, but I hear the furminator is really the best for getting rid of all the loose fur.

Hope that helps!

> still cat vomit all the time.

Have you tried brushing with a furminator type brush so they are not swallowing all that fur? It's not really their fault if they are long haired or shedding cats and you're not providing the brushing to help them out in a domestic environment where they are not brushing up against plants all the time and there are "stupid human things" around like carpet that are fragile and easily damaged.

You could also try something like the self groomers:

Hiya, you won't need a furminator immediately. Don't worry about that for now. If you keep your MCs well brushed, you don't have the matting or knotting problem. We do not use the furminator daily. As for great, long lasting, inexpensive brushes, my wife loves this style here, and I love this style here. Actually that is a bad example because you would probably not use the brush much. The main thing is the long thicker stainless pins. Since they have metal teeth, they clean well. A clean tine goes through fur better than a tine that has a grime build up.

Have you decided on litter boxes? We found that once they got full sized, there was NO litter boxes that fit ours, and we had to improvise.

Can't wait to see pictures of yours. Here's ours.

I’m going to copy-paste a previous comment I posted elsewhere on having a few things for rag doll kittens.

Everyone will tell you about food, litter, water, etc. But you will want a few other fun things. Get a long piece of 1/2” thick ribbon for your cat can chase. Mine LOVE ribbons and will run til they fall over. Buy a few scratching posts to put up around the house; mine don’t claw the furniture if they have enough posts. A cat tree gives them a place to call their own (and get away from my small children). We over-indulged.

Both our ragdolls like being brushed, but my girl will flop over and let me brush her for a full half-hour with this one. Fave cat brush. Now that our ragdolls are full grown, we give them a full fur-cut every year because their butt-fur gets so long that stool will stick to it (and track around the house) so be warned.

The healthiest cat treats generally have >70% protein, so I like these ones best.

There is always more to think of, but these are some more indulgent ideas.

First off, good on you for taking the poor guy in!

Be prepared to have the smartest most neurotic and loving dog. My BC is wonderful and wouldn't trade her for anything. Just be aware that they need a lot of activity. Like A LOT. Like, go for a walk, then a run, then play frisbee, then go for another walk, then soccer. They are high energy, believe me. But it has gotten me off my ass and actually outside, which is a bonus for me.

Get one of those undercoat brushes as well like this They shed twice a year (spring/fall) and otherwise just a brushing couple times a week keeps mats from forming (they are prone to them, at least my girl is, on their hips and underbelly).

Food wise, check reviews and find a flavor/ingredient combo that works. My BC loves science diet salmon, but my corgi hates it, so she gets royal canin lamb.

My girl loves to dig herself a bed, not in the dirt, but on a tile floor...and in the bathtub. I'll set a blanket down and she'll drag the thing out of the way and dig and scratch on a bare surface. I mentioned neurotic right? :) Get Kong brand toys!!! They are the only thing she cannot destroy! Take a kong, fill it with yogurt (plain) and freeze it. When you go to work, take it out, throw it down, BAM! Keep him from chewing on your base molding. Get another kong, fill it with raw carrots, BAM! keep him from shredding your goddamn door mat. Get a pair of old denim jeans, cut off all the metal, tie some knots in it, BAM! Keep him from chewing the fuck out of the wall! How the hell do you chew a goddamn hole in the middle of a fucking wall Jackie!?! Seriously!?!

The short of it, buy a undercoat brush, LOTS OF EXERCISE (hell, that's good for all of us) and be prepared for a very loving and loyal companion. Cheers!

Buy one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Catit-Senses-2-0-Self-Groomer/dp/B00D3NI2PG

You're the best goomer, he's comfortable with you. A stranger will only increase his anxiety. If he doesn't like a brush, try a rubber mitt or moistening your hand and just petting him normally. A damp palm picks up lots of loose fur without your bunn knowing you're brushing. I don't know if this helps, but i hope it does.

5 bucks on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Catit-Senses-2-0-Self-Groomer/dp/B00D3NI2PG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543329495&sr=8-3&keywords=Cat+Self+Groomer

Here you go!

You'll also want a regular brush as the furminator shouldn't be used as an everyday brush. Something with flexible wire bristles works wonders for preventing mats. I have a mainecoon who is just as fluffy as your pair and I find that it also works great for brushing hair off your furniture and everything else you own that is covered in hair.

Something basically like this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QDKX1LV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UcaFDb0J65AW4

That answer depends on the cat, the time of day, and the person interacting with them. The male follows me around just about everywhere, he loves being near me. The black female can be insane doing parkour around my room when she wants to go out at night / early morning, yet will demand that I cuddle her and pet her the way she wants for a couple minutes then dashes away only to come back to lay down beside me for hours. The calico can be pretty antisocial tho she will follow my spawn around because she likes the way the spawn pets her, but if I pull out the cat lick brush she will follow me around demanding I brush her.

So to answer your question..... they are all crazy and they are all loving.

I have never bought something so quickly.

I think this literally stole the pictures from the Catit one. https://www.amazon.com/Catit-Senses-2-0-Self-Groomer/dp/B00D3NI2PG

I care because Catit packages their toys in boxes that are decorated in fun ways that you can turn into additional toys. My dumb cat gets one that's like a treasure chest stuck on his dumb head all the time and it is intensely funny.

I also have this and my cat never uses it. But sometimes I hit my leg against it and it hurts, which will someday teach me to look where I'm going?

My cat does this as well - kitty has LOVED this $4.99 purchase. Sticks right onto any corner of furniture.

One of my sibs is prone to tangles and mats. I brush both every night with this:

Li'l Pals Kitten Slicker Brush with Coated Tip Pins https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TIA9FS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0gxTybG3AWRBH

I like the coated tips because it feels less risky when brushing around the butt and backs of legs.

My main suggestion is to just brush really frequently so nothing too serious builds up.

Grooming: I've tried every brush out there, and the most effective on our aussie is a grooming rake and a slicker brush. We use the grooming rake for de-shedding on his back and belly, and the slicker brush on his ears, mane, pants, feathers, and tail to get out knots because he won't tolerate the rake on that thicker fur. Also, get a good grooming spray, and I suggest investing in a good professional groomer (that knows not to shave a double coat) every 4-5 months depending on if your dog gets matted.

Walking: I like the wonder walker, easy walk is also good.

Toys: Puzzle toys! Ditch the food bowl entirely, aussies need a job to do. My dog loves any ball he can push with his nose that dispenses treats.

My cat does this! I hold it down on the floor for her with my foot, but she also has one of these.

Not sure what the 2nd brush is. I use a slicker brush like this:http://www.amazon.com/Safari-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush-Green/dp/B000YIWUXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425855412&sr=8-1&keywords=cat+slicker+brush

I stopped using the furminator brush becuase I think it destroys the look of their coat. In my experience the furminator is not my cats favorite brush and it always gets out ton of hair.

Amazon. It’s amazing. here

This is random, but kind of cool in my opinion. I brush my cat with his brush I have now and then I'm stuck with no idea how to actually get the hair out of the brush..I usually end up using a bobby pin or something. But look at this awesome thing that makes it super easy to do. How fun, right? bahaha. Umm also, I've had this on my wl for a while but I think it's a very good way to watch what you eat.

=) we love to help fellow kitty owners!

I have found that if you play with your kittys paws while they are very sleepy or asleep you'll have a much easier time clipping their nails as they get older. Of course, I always recommend nail grinding over clipping because its smoother, lasts longer and it tickles vs pinches however, shes a baby and that will take some training!

get lots of toys! and play with her often. remember, just like your puppies need walk and play time, she does too! you can even train a cat to talk on a leash so you can take her with you on your walks with the dogs.

i have found my cat likes moving water and will absolutely NOT drink water from a bowl or anything thats sitting still. I use this fountain instead. Makes for happy kitty. hydration is very important!

as others have said, scratching posts are important. don't forget your flea, tick, and heartworm medications. Also, kitties should be brushed. My cat is scared of brushes so I use this which he adores and gets very excited when he sees it.

dogs like to eat cat poop for whatever unexplainable reason. please do yourself a favor and invest in a closed litter box sorta like this. its worth it!!

I used ones like these from time to time before I eventually got actual hand carders. They won't do as much at a time as carders because they're smaller, but it's workable. Certainly better than not having any at all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Moose looks like he had a huge personality. :(

These are my kitties. I'd like a dog, but I live in an apartment and we don't have a yard.

I love to spoil them. They have their own wish list. :)

I wouldn't suggest using the furminator more than about once a week. If you brush her more often than that, try a slicker brush. My cats like how these scratch their skin and they're pretty good at pulling out loose fur.

I have a Siamese cat named Stonewall who I adopted 2 yrs ago from a shelter. I went in to the shelter looking to adopt a cat that was a few years old and all they had were very old cats and a cage of kittens. In the cage there were 4 kittens & I told the volunteer I wanted to adopt one of the really playful ones, he said he would grab her so I went into a "get to know you" room. The volunteer walked in with the one kitten who was sitting in the back of the cage he informed me that the others had been adopted and all they had was this one left. He handed me the kitten and she just sat in my lap and shook, he told her that they had been unsuccessful in getting her to play & he said he can show me other cats. Well of course I couldn't say no to this little thing & the rest is history. She is one of the most loving cats & so so playful. Here is a picture of her helping me with laundry and here she is on top of my bedroom door.

I think she can really use this love glove because she sheds so so much.

~I wub my animals~

I have a slicker brush that retracts. Picks up a lot of hair and is easy to clean.

I have what's called a slicker brush. She likes it when I go at it pretty hard but you have to be careful you're not hurting their skin. There's little plastic bits on the end of the bristles.

I also have a furminator for Spring and for getting around her butt so she can clean herself.

:D!

Have you considered investing in....SELF BRUSHY?

I have a Kong Zoom Groom and Savannah looooves it, but she's not so hot on other brushes, and detests the fabled Furminator. I got her the exact self brushy linked above after seeing it here, because it's cheap so why not. She loves rubbing her face & neck on it, particularly while getting scratches elsewhere! I recently had to mount it with screws because the adhesive strips couldn't handle her love <3

I used to work at a pet store and I have mixed feelings about the FURminator. People swear by it because it always removes a lot of fur, but it's designed to remove the undercoat whether or not it's already shedding. So overusing it can irritate the skin and damage the coat by removing too much undercoat.

I would recommend a basic slicker brush with a push button that makes removing the fur from the brush really easily. This can (and should) be used regularly on a springer to prevent tangles and remove loose fur.

Edit: a word

Running a cat brush lightly over a rug will find a lot as well..
http://www.amazon.com/Safari%C2%AE-Cat-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush/dp/B000YIWUXI/

I have one that I got on amazon here. I don’t think it’s the same exact one but it’s design is identical

Just brush. You'll be surprised how much fur you remove. You may need to get him adjusted to being brushed. Lots of positive reinforcement and treats can help. My cat doesn't like being brushed but she tolerates it. I do it in short sessions and give her lots of praise for being a good girl while I do it. I brushed three handfuls of fur off her today. :)

There are many kinds of brushes. I use ones like these and they work well: 1 and 2.

This kind of rubber brush is awesome at removing fur from blankets, cushions, carpets, and other fabrics.

Vacuuming and sweeping frequently helps too.

Still, I keep lint rollers at home, in the car, and at work. Cat hair just gets everywhere.

No need to bathe unless it's a hairless cat or he gets dirty.

This might be up your alley

I prefer a shedding blade over a furminator. Seems less harsh and my girl hates it less.

Zoom Grooms and Slicker Brushes are good also.

Ultimately, the most helpful thing for me has been a high velocity dryer to just blast the damn hair right out.

For my 14-week old kitten.

Nano, my kitten, has a difficult time grooming himself since he is a munchkin (imagine a T-Rex trying to scratch his face) and often gets his food or medicine (for worms) stuck in his fur and it ends up matting. I don't have a cat brush at the moment, nonetheless one intended for kittens, so this would be totally awesome to receive.

It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

awww... he might be even cuter than my angora :P lots and lots of fur brushing is ahead of you! I know it's pricey for a hairbrush, but I just bought this brush from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P9MZB9E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it's the best Angora bunny related product I've ever bought and I highly recommend it. I don't know why, but it's way nicer than my old brush :)

I love this one. At first I wasn't sure it worked but now that shedding season has begun I see that it works great. I have a dutch so regular length hair and it doesn't pull but you should be gentle obviously. I also tried the sticky mitten thing, not so hot.

I would try a small wire brush you can buy pretty much anywhere and see how she responds. Go slow at first and maybe stay away from trying to brush her belly until you see how she feels about being touched there. I also use a plastic comb sometimes and just go easily and when I get to a clump or mat I go even slower and lighter. It all depends on here reaction. One thing to try is to have some treats to give her as you start. This could make that positive association to the brushing and you may only have to give her a few the next time and then none at all.

What's so wrong with blades?

do NOT get zoom groom - it's useless on shorthairs. Myoogen could not be more wrong about her skin assessment of said brushes for short hairs. all a zoom groom does is use sticky rubber to pull loose hairs, this is why it's best on long hairs. short hairs do not suffer skin abrasion because (most shorthair breeds) have a thick layer of white down over their pink skin, so comb away - you have nothing to fear as the cat size ferminator spikes are already too short and narrow gapped to harm the skin as healthy hairs buffer in the gaps between the teeth keeping them a good distance from any pink skin. this is exactly why using a human hair long spike comb is a terrible idea for short hair cats.
if you have a furminator, you are already ahead of the game. if you must get something in addition, try a fine spiked flat slicker brush like this; http://www.amazon.com/Safari-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush-Green/dp/B000YIWUXI these are also great for getting cat hair buildup out of fabrics. i use mine to clean all the cat tree carpeting.
BTW for people reading this thread thinking of buying a furminator - don't. you can find brushes using the exact same design for half the price http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Care-Buster-De-shedding-Tool/dp/B001AH7IVQ
If you seriously need to shed your cat, give it a handshower/bath & shampoo. once dry your cat will shed out twice as much loose hair as normal, as the shampooing action and warm water helps pull already loose hairs. I do this the day before cat allergic sister in law comes over for a visit.

Christmas in April

Here I am on the WishList thingee

Here is a Pet Grooming Glove! I have an old cat that doesn't groom herself so well, and she gets all matted if we don't brush her enough. I want to give this a try! :) Or it could just scar the crap out of her. Which would also be a win! ;) J/K!!

This is the brush we use.

You also need a good metal comb. Something like this is probably good, although this is the one we use. Pricey, but unbelievable better than all similar combs.

We use the HairBuster on our boy, but does not look like they make them anymore. Our girl has shorter hair and with her we just wet our hands and pet her. Of course no shedding/grooming question can get posted without referring to the Love Glove :)

The furminator seems to be less tolerable then other brushes I use on them. The other ones I own have this type of bristle.

If it is pure silk, I would probably blend it with another fiber before spinning. If you have carding combs, you can use those to blend it (but it's kind of like responding to someone who said they are just learning to drive oh, well, if you have a Porche...real carding combs are expensive). If you don't have carding combs but are willing to make a small investment, two of these will do nicely: https://www.amazon.com/Hertzko-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush/dp/B00ZGPI3OY/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1469506762&sr=1-6&keywords=dog+brush

As an added benefit, the "self cleaning" function means you don't have to learn to take your combed fiber off the comb. Downside, they won't card much as a time.

This is much larger and would probably work but the individual tines aren't quite the same shape, so it gets into a more buyer-be-ware territory: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Cleaning--Painless-Cleaning-Stainless-Furniture/dp/B00OS1T65C/ref=sr_1_11?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1469506762&sr=1-11&keywords=dog+brush

My boyfriend's family has had mixed results with their furminator.

It works wonderfully on the one cat that often has trouble cleaning itself. She has very fine, soft, copious fur and it's too long for her to be able to get her bib.

However, it seems to take too much hair off the other cat - she already overgrooms herself and the furminator seems to contribute to her loosing her fur. They've taken her to various vets and the general opinion seemed to be avoid brushing the tail or other parts where she's loosing fur. They use a brush like this one on her now and she seems to be doing better.

It seems to depend on the cat =/

Use this for de-matting the back end. Works great and is gentle and safe. Those blades are sharp but the rounded edge is not sharpened.

and

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DIRYG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_O79wzbCFSBEAN

for de-tangling use an undercoat rake with rotating pins, and the single row static rake to pull the hair out.

Then I'll use a slicker to make him soft and shiny.

I usually shop on amazon, so if it's on there that would be helpful. I was able to find the Safari one on Amazon, so I'll likely grab it from there!

The HaloVa Pet Comb, looks to be a shorter pin brush that also has bristles. Not sure if this would be comparable to the pin brush you linked above.

Also, what would be the benefits to brushing his coat with the bristle side?

Ah, that makes sense, in regards to the FURminator. When I've used it in the past I'm very weary of putting any real force behind since it is such a sharp tool.

It sounds like the rake comb could take the place of the FURminator though?

Would the pin brush every couple days and the single rake every few days be a good routine?

Also, I saw these brushes online and was curious if they could have a place for Cooper's brushing routine:

• Hertzko Self Cleaning Slicker Brush
  
• KONG ZoomGroom

I found one for $5 on amazon here

When his fur gets long it seems like we have to brush him at least once a week or he gets matted up really bad. He hates it, but this type of brush seems to work best: https://www.amazon.com/Hertzko-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush/dp/B00ZGPI3OY/ref=sr_1_5?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1537798136&sr=1-5&keywords=slicker+brush&dpID=41wzgc0dDzL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

This is Zeus's first summer right? We just got our cats this brush, (for helping them shed in the hot months) which they seem to like a lot.

Amazon link for those who are curious. You can probably get it even cheaper at the Dollar Tree or 99cents store or Walmart, but you get the general idea! Brush cleaning gloves don't have to be 'spensive.

Idiot question: a pet brush like this? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YIWUXI/

I'm thinking of both the one that looks like a hair brush (above), and this heavy duty metal comb I've also seen in pet stores.

Hiya! I’ve only had my shiba for a year now and he just started shedding a couple months back so maybe I’m not at the worst of it yet, but I think I have a pretty good routine going so far! So we have two types of brushes we use regularly, the first brush being a slicker brush, like this that we use every couple days. The second brush, this bad boy that is really effective, but we can only use once a week or else it would damage your shibas skin and nobody wants that. It’s really just a matter of brushing (using proper techniques in order to not hurt your pup!) regularly to tame the fur. It never really has an end to be honest, but we can always try!

Mind u I managed to find this which apparently resembles the feel of a cats tounge, I think this is the closest thing out there

Why not do it for her?
Here you go --> https://www.amazon.com/PDX-Pet-Design-Licki-Brush/dp/B01M0UXYHE

It's an older version of this brush from JW Pet Company.

Both cats love it.

There are other similar things out there too.

Ok, I know how stressful it is. A few recommendations to get rid of hair.

• hoover and air your room regularly with windows open while you do (careful that the cat doesn’t get out while you do). Use the brush attachment for hoovers to clean sofas, carpets, scratching posts and beds.

• buy a micro fiber cloth like the ones to clean your face and use it slightly damp with just water to wipe the cat a few times a day. This helps an awful lot with allergies.

• buy one of these brushes (I don’t mean buy this specific one, it was to show you an image so you can find one) and groom he cat every other day. If he doesn’t like it (most do), just start with a few strokes a day while cuddling.

• use a drier with lint trap for your clothes and stuff. That really helps to get rid of fur especially if you open it and empty it once or twice during the cycle.

• use these a lot on your clothes.

• use rubber gloves to wipe fur away from beds sofas and scratching posts.


Also your symptoms are atypical for a cat allergy. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily not that, but you could test it by getting an OTC tab for pet allergy and see if it makes you feel better. Let us know.

Sup Hanners,

I'm Bailey. I'm a pretty great enormous Maine Coon cat who has lived in that basket since kittenhood, and deformed it into a shape and size that I can fit in.

I have a little brother, Captain Morgan. He is the worst. I did not want a brother. I do not like other cats. I am so much smarter than him that I spend a large portion of every day plotting his demise. He thinks that we are friends and tries to sleep on my majestic paws (which are essentially the size of his whole face).

I'd love to be petted instead of brushed.

I want to hang out with Hanners because what if Viktor also tries to sleep on my majestic paws? That will not do. I have never met a dog so maybe that will go better. I think you need this.

I want to be friends with Hanners and Viktor!

That is really cute! http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Touch-Gentle-Slicker-Cats/dp/B0002DK4AG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_petsupplies_4 I have something like this but she only likes when her head is brushed. I fear that it hurts her ):

I had so much accumulated cat hair on my rug I thought it was going to be impossible to get it out without a professional cleaning. On a whim, I tried using her cat brush on the rug... and to my disbelief I accomplished in 5 minutes what 45 minutes of hopelessly failed effort with a vacuum could accomplish. No cat hair with a couple passes. Game changer.

I use my cat's hair brush and it gets like 99% of the hair off and I usually just clean it with some resolve and a rag. This is similar to the brush I use. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000YIWUXI?cache=1fc60fb766aaeaf17c0bb3b2e849a192&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1413820219&sr=8-2#ref=mp_s_a_1_2

Good morning! I would love this for my kitty. For some reason she is not very good at grooming herself and she doesn't like me doing it too much. I think it would help clean her up a bit :). wishlist

Thanks for the contest.

I am in real need of a brush for my two furry babies Quincy and Angie right now I am using a cheap dollar store brush and it doesn't help for their coats. The Pomeranian has a really thick coat and the Maltese easily gets mats. Right now my budget doesnt allow for any extras (I haven't even been able to buy them treats in months) so trying to keep them properly groomed myself to avoid pricey groomer visits.

If you can recommend a different brush that would work just as well and costs less that's even better. Thank you.

I use this one and I love it. I know a lot of people use the Furminator but I never found that one to be very good on my lab. The bristles on this brush are a little sharp, so you have to be gentle on the belly (which my dog LOVES to be brushed on lol.....ummmm that's not really the part that's shedding, buddy), but that's the only drawback that I've found.

I have what we think is a Great Pyr mix (her wisdom panel was submitted last week) but she definitely has pyr-like long flowing fur with a wooly undercoat. I think I own like 5 different brushes/combs, but her favorite and the one that keeps her looking nice are the slickers (I recommend getting one that deposits the fur off of it like this one. To get at the undercoat most efficiently though, my favorite is the Shed Monster. It really gets to that soft wooly undercoat and gets a lot out at a time. The Furminator does okay, but not as well as the Shed Monster in my experience. We do also use an undercoat rake as you mentioned, but I feel like it doesn't do as good of a job of consolidating the fur and kind of gets it all over. Hope this helps!

Edit: Just saw your pup tax. They look just like my girl!
