A “slicker brush” is a grooming tool that is used to remove loose hair from your pets. Such brushes are normally used on cats and dogs, but can also be used on rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals. The brush consists of many fine wires that are slightly bent, and very close together. It is designed to pull the dead hair from your pet’s coat. The fine wires are usually embedded in a rubber mat that will allow the wires to bend a little.
Slicker brushes work very well for most pets. If you have a cat, dog, rabbit, or guinea pig, you probably should have a slicker brush to help with grooming. Slicker brushes will help remove mats, tangles and dead hair. Slicker brushes are very important to use if you have a long haired cat. Long haired cats are prone to get hairballs, and regular grooming with a slicker brush can help prevent this.
