Mars Coat King Bristle Cat Hair Brush Deshedding Tool - Pet Grooming Supplies for Furry, Shaggy, Loose Hair in all Breeds, Wooden Handle for Thick Coats - ¾" Bristles, 2" Wide Head

I share an apartment with an elderly female Ragdoll mix that is really a dragon. She's sweet and terrifying, and with age she's lost some of her padding, and her bones are closer to the surface. Stiff bristles can hurt her, and more care needs to be taken during grooming not to tug on her coat and looser skin.As she's gotten older, she doesn't groom herself as thoroughly. It's become even more important that we stay on top of it, because when we don't, she'll get small mats in places. I'm so glad I decided to buy this brush. She will run over when she see's me holding it, and sit down, her back to me, and wait patiently.Reasons we love it:1. Soft boar bristle brushes are great for distributing the natural oils produced by the skin throughout the coat. My cat's coat is shinier, and appears more full. She also gets a little dander at the base of her tail because, as she's gotten older, spots like this have become harder to reach. Since using this brush, this condition has improved a good deal. I'm guessing it in part has to do with the redistributed natural oils moisturizing the skin.2. She likes it so much, it's not just maintenance she'll put up with awhile, and then escape from. I feel like we're not just grooming now, we're bonding. Someone else described it as a massage for cats, but my old dragon regresses and acts kittenish.3. The soft bristles don't seem to hurt her when used around her bony or tender spots. I have a steel comb we've used for years. I find that when I alternate this brush with the comb, she's more amenable to being fussed over, and our grooming sessions are longer and more productive.4. Soft boar bristle brushes aren't really supposed to strip dead hair from the undercoat, so don't expect that when you see "Deshedding Tool." We still get results though. In addition to the gains and improvements mentioned above, we do get respectable clumps of hair for the bin during a session. Cleaning is pretty easy. I use the wide bristles of my steel comb to lift hair up and out of the brush bristles.5. This seems to be well made. The wood handle is nicer in my opinion than plastic alternatives. I also feel like the boar bristles reduce the static that nylon bristles would cause. Fair price for the quality I received.Verdict: It's been tested on two different cats, one adult with short hair, and one senior with long, and they both LOVE it. Can't recommend it enough for anyone. Use it with kittens or adoptees that need to get used to being groomed. Use it with seniors or convalescing cats that need the softness. You really can't go wrong.

If I touch my cat with a plastic brush she jumps up and leaves. If I pet her and then switch to this brush ahhhh she loves it! She will change positions and just eats it up. She loves being brushed with this! When she has some loose hair it will collect them, but it will not help remove undercoating. So yes, it removes loose hair, but is NOT a de-shedding brush! Still, I think this is very necessary to do regularly and your cat will enjoy it! You will have to pull the hair out of the bristles when it gets full, but it’s not big deal. Very soft and gentle. Appropriate size for most house cats.

The Boar’s Hair gives a nice, relaxing brush for my cat. It does a great job in removing the loose and fuzzy under coat she has. I use this brush after I clean her with a different brush that removes most of the hair and any knots she may get in her fur. She feels good when I use this brush on her and really enjoys our brushing sessions.

Well the shy cat voted 5 stars! She sniffed it to the high heavens and then immediately rubbed her face on it like she knew it was going to feel good. She normally runs away after a bit, but did not want to leave this brush behind and kept wiggling around to get the best angles. This is the best brush for the face that I've found, since it is gentle and can be held so that it passes smoothly between the ears, and even over the eye area. She especially loved the cheeks, which I normally can't get at properly with our comb. I don't think it picks up as much hair as other brushes and combs since the bristles are very soft, and it is impossible to clean out all the hair from the bristles. But if you want to give your cat a real treat, give it a try!

My cat loves this brush!

This brush is gentle enough to use on a newborn's head. But my cats are big babies and have thick fur. It is good for keeping their coats shiny but I have to run my hand over them afterward to grab all the fur that came loose. I know it isn't a de-shedding tool, but I was hoping the bristles would be a little stiffer, like the boar bristle brushes made for humans. That way it would at least get rid of and cling onto the loose fur on top.

My pup loves this brush. I know it's advertised as a primarily for cats, but for my short-coated dog it's the one brush she'll tolerate. The bristles are ample and the perfect firmness for a short-coated dog. She seems to feel it's more of a massage, but it does actually remove loose hairs and I assume surface dirt. It fits in the hand easily and is small enough to brush her head and cheeks. Very effective for my purposes, and combined with a little silkening spray my pup smells good all the time and has a healthy, shiny coat. Great value.

The cat hair brush has proven to be a valuable tool in my quest to keep my cat's fur under control. The bristles are gentle yet effective in removing loose hair and reducing shedding. My cat seems to enjoy the brushing sessions, as it provides a pleasant grooming experience for them.The ergonomic design of the brush makes it comfortable to hold and maneuver. The handle is sturdy and provides a good grip, allowing for easy use even during longer grooming sessions. The size of the brush is also convenient, making it suitable for both small and large cats.One area for improvement is the durability of the brush. While it performs well in removing loose hair, I have noticed some bristles starting to bend or come loose after extended use. This could affect the overall effectiveness and lifespan of the brush. It would be beneficial if the bristles were more securely attached to ensure long-lasting performance.Another aspect to consider is the ease of cleaning the brush. While the brush itself is relatively easy to clean, I have found that some hair tends to get trapped between the bristles, requiring extra effort to remove. A design improvement that facilitates easier hair removal would be advantageous.
