The hair on your couch doesn't come from the top coat. It comes from the loose undercoat sitting underneath it — and a normal brush glides right over that. It tidies the surface and leaves the shedding layer exactly where it was.

No cutting blade · One-click release · Nothing to replace

Sound familiar?

You brush them. Ten minutes later there's fur on the sofa again. You've looked at the bladed deshedding tools and put them back down, because pressing a blade against your dog is not something you want to guess at. So you keep using the brush that doesn't quite work.

How it works

• BEFORE — Loose undercoat trapped under the top coat, ready to fall out anywhere but here.
• BRUSH IT — Fine rounded stainless pins reach past the top coat and lift the loose layer out. They bend with the coat instead of cutting through it. Short strokes, no pressure needed.
• ONE CLICK — Press the button on the back. The pins retract and the whole mat of fur lifts off in one piece. Drop it in the bin, press again, keep going.

Why not just get the bladed one

Bladed deshedding tools cut the undercoat. They work, and they're the reason a lot of owners end up with skin irritation or a patchy coat when they press too hard or go over the same spot twice. This uses rounded pins instead — slower on a heavy-shedding husky, but you don't have to be careful with it.

The details

• Fine rounded stainless pins, no cutting edge
• One-button retraction — the fur comes off in one mat, no picking it out by hand
• Dogs and cats, short to long coats
• Nothing to refill, nothing to replace, no batteries
• Three colours: grey, pink, blue

What it won't do

It won't cut through a matted, felted coat — that needs a dematting tool or a groomer, and forcing any brush through a solid mat hurts. Work the mat loose first, or leave it to a professional. On a badly matted dog this isn't the right first purchase, and we'd rather say so now.
