Product Information

The tool also features an aptly named FURejector button to assist with the cleaning of the comb, but we still had to use our fingers to fully clear the hair and dander that was collected. Bissell Furget It All-in-One Grooming Brush: I liked this dematting brush, which did a good job removing excess undercoat. The pile of fur it extracted was comparable to that of the Furminator. The tool is comfortable to hold but slightly larger and less agile than the Andis or Furminator.

The side with fewer teeth has more space between each prong making it a highly effective rake that can work through mats of all shapes and sizes. The side with more teeth serves as an efficient comb as it passes through the undercoat, removing loose hair and dander. Those who refuse to be groomed with a brush or a comb may tolerate grooming gloves, which fit closely to the natural shape of the palm.

This roundup was updated by Anna Mejorada, a writer for The Spruce Pets, who shares her home with a happy Pomeranian named Gidget. Before researching and writing about pet products for a living, Mejorada embarked on a self-mandated, ongoing quest to find the optimal items for her dog. She is now delightfully devoted to helping humans discover and select the most favorable products for their pets.We found the brush was comfortable to grip with its soft, rubbery gripped handle. The grip is ridged to keep your hand from slipping. There’s also a spot for your thumb that provides added comfort. However, the brush feels top-heavy. If you have sensitive or arthritic wrists, the uneven weight distribution might put added strain on your joints and make the brush uncomfortable to grip. If you’re using the brush just occasionally on troublesome tangles, it shouldn't be bothersome. But long grooming sessions with this brush could get problematic. Curry brushes: Curry brushes are the next step up from a grooming glove. Like gloves, they have soft-but-firm rubber or silicone nubs that won't rake the skin and bother sensitive cats. Curry brushes are good for massage, stimulating circulation, distributing natural oils, and removing dirt, loose hair, and debris.

Top 5 Cat Brushes

Pros: Dual-length stainless steel teeth, solid brass spine, lightweight, comfortable to use at different angles Resco Pro-Series Rotating Pin Comb: This well-constructed comb has rotating stainless steel teeth and a long, heavy handle. Unlike carding combs with teeth of two lengths, its uniform tines do poorly break up mats. The versatile Furbliss Pet Brush is the only grooming tool most short-haired cats will ever need and it even removes fur from upholstery and clothing. A good curry brush is ideal for grooming a short-haired cat, according to Melissa Tillman, owner of Melissa Michelle Grooming. I was impressed by the Furbliss Pet Brush not just because its flexible silicone nubs are gentle and effective at removing loose hair but because it can also be used to massage a pet, remove hair from clothing and upholstery, and dispense shampoo in the bath.
