KONG Dog ZoomGroom Multi-Use Brush

My short-haired doberman mix gets 5 minutes every morning with this brush — he absolutely loves it, especially the back & forth scratching motion. Attached is the amount of hair I get off him each time. I wouldn’t think this would be effective for a gsd or husky, but it does a good job on short coats. Plus, it’s gentle on his skin & redistributes his oils for an even shinier coat :-) it is easy to grip for me; I would think it would be pretty easy for someone with arthritis or other hand-dexterity problems.

My very tiny puppy was under four pounds when I tried to use the puppy-size ZoomGroom to get the shed hairs out of her coat. It wasn't very comfortable to hold in my hands (also small) and the rubber cone "bristles" were far too large for my puppy's tiny body. My puppy also is used to KONG material in her chewing toys, which didn't make it very easy to get her to understand this brush wasn't a chew toy. Judging by how popular this style of curry brush is, it probably works just fine if you have larger hands or a larger dog. We had to look elsewhere to find something that works for us.

I try to be super gentle when brushing my dog, but she still hates it so much. I think the ZoomGroom feels more like a massage to her than brushes, because she will tolerate it and sometimes enjoys it to the point where I can trick her into a more thorough brushing. The ZoomGroom doesn't do as much as her coat needs (she is a chow-lab mix) but will get out a decent amount of loose fur.

Recently adopted a very short haired dog. Having had English Setters my entire adult life, I had no idea the best way to groom my dog. She sheds just as much as a long haired dog but the brushes I had didn't seem to work. Another volunteer at the animal shelter I volunteer at recommended this for pitties. Automatically had to get one to try. The dog and I fell in love with it. She is a nervous thing and panics about a lot of stuff. Started brushing her and she sat down and enjoyed herself. Brush is completely rubber so I don't have to worry about using too much presure. You wouldn't believe the hair that comes out. Spent fifteen minutes outside brushing her yesterday and pulled out Recently adopted a very short haired dog.

You wouldn't believe the hair that comes out. Spent fifteen minutes outside brushing her yesterday and pulled out so much loose hair. She loved every second of it though. Brush also helps spread the oils evenly though so helps with her dry skin. I have also heard that this brush does work well on the longer haired breeds as well. I love it so much I plan on buying a second one for the animal shelter to use. Buy it! It's worth every penny. … more

I have gone through a couple of these brushes for use on my Golden. The “teeth” do wear down. I use it to help lather him up when bathing and also to help remove the outer coat when grooming. My guy loves the massage when I use it. I find that it also helps remove dirt between baths. When I started ordering them from Chewy it was because they were half the price of the local pet stores. Not any more. Now they are just about equal in price. Why?

I absolutely LOVE this product! I wish I would have bought it sooner for my 70lb pittie/boxer/bulldog mix. Her coat is very short and the brush I use for my other dog never seemed to get the fur off of her, even though I knew she was shedding. She LOVES being brushed with this! She gets excited when she sees it and the amount of fur that comes out is incredible. Worth every single penny!

not sure if there is a technique to using it because when i brush my corgi puppy, the hair gets off him but it doesnt exactly stay on the brush, the hair just ends up in the air or flies onto my carpet. 4 star because it's soft and he lets me brush him

This brush is gentle on my dog's skin and does a great job of getting the hair loose, but does not collect the hair on the brush well, so it can fly everywhere if you're not careful. I have to run my hand under it to collect the fur it gets loose. For the price I'd say it's still pretty good once you get the hang of it.

The brush is not good for short coats. My pup is a short coat, with flat and straight fur. When we brush her, instead of the hair coming out onto the brush it just sits on top of her fur. We have to pat out the fur using our hands. The brush is also hard to hold, it does not have a handle so it’s hard to comfortably brush your pet. The reason i’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because my dog doesn’t dislike the brush, she doesn’t hate getting groomed by it which is always a bonus.

There is no words to say how much I love this brush. It’s the only brush my dog won’t fight. And it’s been the best at getting all her hair. She has a short coat and every time it manages to get all. It has saved our furniture! A little note that the hair doesn’t really catch it the brush. I typically have to run my hand across her back and all the loose hair just balls up into my hand.
