The Hertzko Self Cleaning Slicker Brush is a wire-bristle brush for everyday grooming. When the brush is full, you press a button, the bristles pull back into the head and the hair wipes off in one sweep.
Who it suits
Dog and cat owners who want one easy brush for regular grooming, detangling light knots and catching loose hair. It suits most coat lengths, though very heavy shedders may also need an undercoat tool.
