A standard slicker brush collects hair in the bristles and has to be picked out by hand after every few strokes — during a heavy shed that means stopping constantly to clear the brush rather than grooming. The Self-Cleaning Grooming Brush has a retractable pin mechanism: press the button and the bristles pull back into the head, releasing all the collected hair in one go so you can drop it in the bin and keep grooming. The dual-sided head has fine pins on one side for topcoat and a wider comb on the other for working through tangles. Available in Blue and Red, in Small and Large.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the self-cleaning work?
The bristle pins are mounted on a retractable plate inside the brush head. During grooming the pins extend through the face of the brush and collect hair as you stroke. Press and hold the button on the handle and the plate retracts, pulling the pins back below the face of the brush and releasing the collected hair as a clump you can discard. Release the button and the pins extend again ready for the next strokes.
Which size should I choose?
Small is suited to cats, kittens and small dog breeds where a smaller brush head gives more control around the face and legs. Large suits medium to large dog breeds where a wider face covers more coat per stroke and speeds up the grooming session. If your dog is medium-sized, Large is generally the better choice for efficiency.
Is it suitable for short-haired breeds?
The fine pins are most effective on medium to long coats where there is enough hair for the pins to grip and pull loose undercoat. On very short coats the pins may not engage enough hair for the self-cleaning function to work effectively — a rubber grooming mitt tends to work better for short-coated breeds.
How do I clean the brush itself?
Use the self-clean button to clear hair after each session. For deeper cleaning, rinse the pin face under warm running water with the pins extended. Allow to dry fully before storing. The rubber grip handle wipes clean with a damp cloth.
