Bamboo Slicker Brush for Dogs & Cats

A slicker brush with a handle and back made from sustainably sourced bamboo rather than plastic — lighter in the hand, naturally antibacterial, and a genuinely lower-impact alternative to a moulded plastic tool. Fine angled wire pins set into a cushioned pad get down through the topcoat to lift out loose undercoat and work apart tangles and small mats, which is exactly the job a bristle brush cannot do. The cushioned backing lets the pins give slightly against the skin so the brush stays comfortable in use. Best for medium, long, curly and double coats, and the go-to tool during a heavy moult. Work in short strokes in the direction of hair growth, and go gently over bony areas and the belly — slicker pins are effective precisely because they are sharp. Clean the pad out after each session so it keeps working properly.
