AKC Slicker Brush

The same mechanism, under a name people in the dog world recognise.

The problem with a slicker brush is not the brushing. It is what comes next — pulling a compacted mat of hair out of fine bent bristles, usually with your fingers.

Press the button on the back and the bristles retract through a plate, releasing everything at once into your hand or the bin.

Fine bent bristles for undercoat and loose fur. A slightly larger head and a softer grip than the standard version. Works on cats and dogs, short coats and long.

The handle carries the American Kennel Club name and seal. Seravanti selects and ships; it does not manufacture.
