Safari Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush for Dogs

I have 2 labradors, and a small 20 lb mixed breed dog with medium length hair. I have 4 brushes of various kinds that I use to groom them. Yet, I still have an untenable amount of hair in my home despite grooming them all frequently. In desperation I bought this brush. Holy cow! This brush is amazing! I brushed my small dog using my usual brushes and didn’t get much hair off - then I gently used this brush on her and did a quick once over - look at this wad of hair! It’s 1/2 an inch thick! Just with one pass over the dog’s body! I can’t imagine how much hair I am going to get if I actually sit down and do a whole grooming session. Cleanup was a breeze - just push the button and the hair wad I have 2 labradors, and a small 20 lb mixed breed dog with medium length hair. I have 4 brushes of various kinds that I use to groom them.

Make sure you test the pressure on your arm before you brush - the pins are not sharp, but they could definitely scratch your dog’s skin if you groom too hard. … more

I love that this is self-cleaning -- I have no idea how people live without this mechanism to get the hair out of the bush. Sadly, the bristles got jammed after just a few uses, and it immediately stopped being effective. The design could use some work. It's a shame that this didn't last longer.

My German Shepard loves this brush and so do I. His coat is beautiful and shiny and he looks forward to his daily brushing. I like it because it’s really easy to clean, just push the button. I highly recommend the Safari self-cleaning slicker brush.

First of all, I love the self-cleaning feature of this slicker. It works well for my dog- she has curly fur, but her coat isn't overly thick. I am not sure if this brush would hold up against a very thick curly coat.

Neeson, my Great Pyrenees, loves the attention of being brushed. He's an inside/outside dog and knocks to come in carrying sticks and leaves in his thick furry cost. This brush gets the debris out easily and also works well for brushing out excess coat.

The brush works (like the hair release feature) and my dog generally likes being brushed with it. No complaints. Seems sturdy although my dog hasn’t tried chewing it yet.

I love this brush. It's gentle on my dog and as a result she enjoys being brushed. Cleaning the brush is the easiest I've ever found. It's super. As a result I brush her more which benefits us both.

Its a good idea but the teeth are to flimsy, they hook behind each other and bend way to easy. Might work on a short haired cat.

It doesn't work as well as Furminator in term of brushing off loose hair, but it is really good at collecting hair and doesn't let hair flying around like Furminator does. It is very easy to clean up. I would use it on regular basis.

Haven't tried it after a bath yet, which is the ultimate test, but works very well so far. I really like the hair removal feature.
