This slicker brush is built with a row of fine stainless steel pins set into a comfort grip handle, designed for routine at-home cat grooming. The pins work through the topcoat to lift away loose hair, work out tangles, and break up small mats without requiring extra tools. Regular use helps reduce the amount of loose hair a cat sheds around the home and can help cut down on hairballs by removing fur before a cat ingests it through self-grooming. Brushing also helps distribute natural oils through the coat, which can add shine and softness over time. The brush is intended for cats of any breed and works on both short and long coat lengths. No assembly or setup is needed; the brush is ready to use directly from packaging.
