Safari Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush for Cats

I've had cats for over 30 yrs and currently have 5. I've always had brushes to groom the cats but I just want to know where THIS brush has been all this time. My shortest haired cat loves to be brushed but hardly ever does any hair come off until I tried this brush. I tried it on one of my other cats and it was full after just a few swipes. And the self cleaning attachment makes it really easy to clean off the brush. I highly recommend.

I really like this brush. I have one with a similar design that’s really old so I decided to upgrade to this one. I don’t think it pulls as much hair off but it definitely it gentler on my babies skin. I really love the self cleaning mechanism!! I have already recommended it to 2 of my friends. The handle is also very sturdy and comfortable to hold.

I have a Siamese cat who has been shedding like crazy. I vacuum the floors and 3 days later it looks like I haven't vacuumed in weeks. When I first got her, she was tiny and I didn't want to use anything too big or pointy, so I got those rubber bristle gloves. They worked great, except that she started treating the gloves as a toy and does the flip-and-kick with them when I try to use it (not efficient for brushing). I got this brush because of the reviews, and with the first stroke, I got a bunch a fur and dead skin off of her. However, I think she is too sensitive to the bristles, so I can only get in a couple strokes before she is done. I get a fair amount of undercoat fur in those strokes I have a Siamese cat who has been shedding like crazy. I vacuum the floors and 3 days later it looks like I haven't vacuumed in weeks.

I get a fair amount of undercoat fur in those strokes, however it doesn't pick up all the fur and her top coat fur does not get picked up at all. What it does not pick up, it brings to the surface and then I use a one of those red lint brushes to gently and easily pick up these left over furs. That said, I would imagine, if I start at the beginning of the shedding season, I'm sure I will get a lot more, and not have to deal with fluff piling up in corners and edges of the floors quite as much as I did this spring. This brush may work better for cats that are not quite as sensitive. But one things about this brush that I did not get from the gloves or the lint brush is that it also helped to remove dead skin and her coat was so soft and fluffy after the first brushing session with this brush. … more

This is an awesome improvement on feline grooming brush design. No matter how I tried, the very, very fine hair (like down - and floats on the slightest breeze) would stay in my prior brush(es) & eventually becomes almost invisible requiring very diligent cleaning. This brush 'ejects' literally all hair collected with a simple push action - leaving no "down-like" hairs to get in their nose, mouth and/or throat just to cough and/or throw it up later on. What a difference too in the cats comfort without the hair collecting and dispersing on the breeze and landing elsewhere on the carpet or elsewhere because there is non left after a single clean push. I'm impressed!

My boys love this brush. When I take it out, my medium-hair, orange tabby runs over. My short-haired cat is always curious about it but once we start he helps by brushing against it. My short-haired kitty loves the outdoors so he plays in a fenced in yard and when he comes in, it's our routine to brush. The cleaning button makes it like a new brush everytime. It is a bit pricey but it's sturdy and you won't need another brush. I also use it on my parents springer spaniel mix also. I ordered one for my dad's Maine coon cat and she loves it also.

I have 3 of these brushes- 2 of the smaller ones for my cats and 1 of the larger ones for my dog. Before finding the safari brush I had tried many others. I just thought cats hated being brushed. Now as soon as they see the brush come out (well all except my moody cat) they all get so excited for their “spa” time. The retractable bristles make the brushes so easy to clean. I would recommend this to anyone who has a fur baby!!

My younger kitty Dolly has a very thick, soft coat. She isn't usually happy about being brushed but she seems to enjoy this slicker brush. Because of her heavy coat she sheds alot and can get hairballs. Grooming her with this brush helps me keep her clean and healthy. It's amazing the amount of fur I get out of the brush when I'm finished grooming her. The design of this brush is easy to clean and ready to groom her the next time around.

This grooming tool is an absolute necessity in my house! As a frequent groomer of 3 cats, one of which is a long-hair, this tool works above and beyond all others I have tried. My long-hair has a tendency towards knots in spite of frequent groomings, and this tool used after trimming those initial knots out just works through each and every hair to fluff up and separate her fur. As I continue use, I'm sure the frequency of knots will now lessen. I love it and would HIGHLY recommend its use. Oh.........my other two short hairs love it as well. :O) p.s. Don't miss the availability of the combed fur ejector button on this item...great help.

This is so perfect for the type of hair that drifts into the air. My white cat's fur is so soft and light. The rubber fingers type of brush left soft loose hairs on that I would hand rub over the kitty to collect these hairs. This slicker leaves no loose hairs for the cat to lick off and ingest. Plus the ease of cleaning this brush with this design

My cat likes being brushed with this brush, and the retractable bristles for easy cleaning are great! The downside is there isn't that much for me to clean out of the brush after each brushing. This brush is not the greatest at collecting his fine hair. He is shedding a ton right now, but most of the hair ends up flying in the air and not really collected by the brush. But, I can tell that it would work really well on animals with thicker fur.
