The Ancol Ergo Slicker Brush is a fantastic tool for removing loose fur and leaving your cat with a glossy coat. The pins of the brush are soft and bendy, and glide through the coat to remove loose hairs from both the undercoat and topcoat. The slicker brush can be used to gently detangle knots and matting in longer fur. As the slicker has thin 'pins', it should be used gently, particularly on young pets and cats with short coats. Grooming a cat helps maintain a smooth and glossy coat and can be a lovely way of bonding with your pet. Regular grooming to remove loose hair, particularly when your cat is moulting, will lessen the amount of fur they ingest when grooming themselves which will reduce fur balls and associated problems. Regular grooming will also reduce the amount of shed fur around the home.
