The fur is already off. It is just still attached.
The Brush. Fine stainless pins with rounded tips that reach the undercoat, and a button on the back that pushes the whole mat of collected fur off the pad in one go.
Ships from a US warehouse. Three to eight days to your door, handling included. Nothing is pre-ticked on this page.
There are 36 of these in the warehouse today. That is the real number, not a banner.
Press it and the pins go away.
A slicker brush fills up in about ninety seconds and then you are picking fur out of a hundred little hooks with your fingernails. This one has a button. The pins retract into the pad and the fur lifts off in one piece.
The diagram is ours and it is a diagram. Press the button and watch the mechanism, then read the spec table for what the supplier actually states about it.
A pin that catches skin only has to do it once.
After that the brush comes out and the animal leaves the room, and you are back to a cat who sheds on the sofa because grooming has become a fight. The pins on this one are finished with a rounded tip for exactly that reason.
Rounded tips are the supplier’s stated design and the close photograph above shows them. It is still a metal pin on an animal, so go with the coat and not against it, and stop when they have had enough.
Long, short, curly, thick.
Slickers are the one grooming tool that genuinely crosses species and coat type. This is the brush you use on the collie and on the cat, and the only thing that changes is how long you spend on it.
The exception is a heavily matted coat. A slicker will not take out a mat that has already felted against the skin, and pulling at one hurts. That is a job for clippers and somebody who has done it before.
Not behind a tab.
It is a twenty two dollar brush. There is not a great deal to hide, and we have still marked the rows nobody has verified.

Four reasons not to buy this.
If one of these is a dealbreaker, we would rather you found out here than after the box arrives.
It is a slicker, not a deshedder.
It lifts the loose undercoat that has already let go. It is not a blade tool and it will not strip a double coat down the way a deshedding blade does. If you have a husky in May, you want the blade as well.
It will not fix a mat.
Once a clump has felted against the skin, a slicker just pulls on it, which hurts and makes the next brush harder. Cut it out or have it clipped, then start using this.
There is a moving part.
A button and a retracting pad is one more thing that can stop working than a plain slicker has. We have not had one long enough to tell you how they age, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
We have 36.
This is the smallest stock holding on the shelf. If it sells through in a week the page will say sold out for as long as it takes, and we would rather do that than take money for a parcel we cannot send.
