Safari Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush for Cats

When I purchased this, I was under the impression that a slicker brush is a slicker brush—not much difference. However, there has been a noticeable difference My cat seems to be much more comfortable with this brush over others we’ve used, and it gets more hair trapped, keeping it from floating it around My only critique is that I wish it was a bit smaller, since even my large cat has small areas that I can’t reach with this brush. The head of it is just a little bit smaller than a deck of cards, where I wish it was more the size of a pack of matchsticks..

I had originally bought a slicker brush specifically for long haired cats, but the spokes were oriented perpendicular to the handle, so it was difficult to use. Bought this one since it claimed to be for all hair types. The spokes are about the same length, but less angled. The orientation makes brushing much easier, and cleaning is a breeze. Makes daily brushing not feel like a chore.

This is a great brush if you have a larger pet that doesn't mind the sharp edges in the bristles. Our little kitty finds these painful, even when trying to use lightly. I realize that the self cleaning mechanism wouldn't work if the bristles had a "soft tip".. not sure what I'm going to do with the thing, maybe donate it somewhere. I'm new to these types of grooming tools... sorry I wasted my $$ :-(

About a year and a half ago, I had to have my 20-year-old cat shaved because her fur had become so matted. Bad cat caregiver me, I didn't understand that she wasn't able to groom herself as she used to, and since she had always hated for me to groom her, I didn't realize what was happening with her undercoat until it was too late. Her fur is short but soft and luxurious, almost like a rabbit's—at least until it developed all these deranged tufts. Nothing worked to detangle it, and the vet felt shaving was the best option. Since then, she has seemed to enjoy having me groom her—I guess she finally got the point. As her fur was first growing back, I used a very soft baby's hairbrush made of goat About a year and a half ago, I had to have my 20-year-old cat shaved because her fur had become so matted.

As her fur was first growing back, I used a very soft baby's hairbrush made of goat hair, but once her fur got thicker, it started tufting again. This brush, used gently, completely resolves the issue. And the mechanism for pressing out the collected hair is absolute magic! I use the soft brush for soothing daily grooming, but I am amazed at how effective this slicker brush is. I have rarely been so delighted at the efficacy of any product. … more

Love this hair removal feature on the brush. The handle and construction is nice overall. My only complaint is that the head is so big and bulky it's hard to brush my short hair cats, it only really fits on their backs but head, legs and elsewhere it's just too big (wide, thick, bulky).

This brush was included in a list of best cat brushes for 2022. And I definitely see why. It works well on my long haired cat, and is easy to clean up. My cat also loves the brush (well, brushies in general), she purred the whole time.

My cats absolutely love this brush and line up waiting their turn! Well....... not 10 at the same time but every one of them enjoy being brushed now. The metal bristles imo are perfect and cleaning is just too easy. Needless to say I’m very pleased with this purchase.

my cat tries to attack this brush, as she does with everything. so i have to brush her when she’s asleep. but i really like this brush. it’s easy to get the hair out of it, but with other brushes, i find it difficult.

I am a newly rescued senior kitty. Though I am in poor health, I'm doing better since I adopted my new human. She has been brushing me each day, morning and evening. Not only are the bristles gentle on my dry, sensitive skin, my fur hasn't looked this good in ages. And my human loves the easy clean-up. I recommend this for all human owners.

This brush is hands down the best. The design is so simple but still very effective in combing hair off your pet and removing the hair is an absolute breeze. Nothing beats the price. A++
