Right there in the title: It simply works better than traditional slicker brushes or those nubby silicone de-shedding tools, and my cats hate it less.A few deep drags against the grain, then in varying diagonal directions, dredge up tons of matted hair, and a few more drags with the grain smooth it all back down and knock loose the stragglers. It takes a while to work your way over a whole animal, but they're much more patient with this tool than with anything else I've tried, they seem the tiniest bit agitated when going against the grain and pulling out a lot of hair, but calm down quickly or come right back for more. It must feel good. My cats' coats look visibly smoother and lighter, and they spend less time grooming themselves (and spitting up hairballs). Can't say much more, than that I absolutely recommend this tool.

This is a nice brush. It turns out my caat barely sheds, so I hardly need anything like this, but it's clear that it works. It feels a bit cheap. But also it is cheap so that can be mostly forgiven.

My cats absolutely love this brush. It pulls out unshed hair really easily and does it gently. The big metal brush may look scary, but it's actually a very blunt curve that gently pulls the hair out without hurting your animals. It's about the size of a slightly scaled up safety razor, and the angle of the handle is good for easy brushing.Overall, this is an inexpensive brush that your animals will totally love if they are fond of brushing, especially if they shed a lot and could use some help.

Our corgi sheds enough fur to make another dog, and she isn't too keen on wire or "furminator"-style bladed brushes. She seems to enjoy this one, though, possibly because of the curved teeth that don't scratch her skin. I've pulled off so much fur that you'd think she would shrink to half her size, but it just keeps coming. This brush is lightweight and easy to use, though, so it's not a problem to brush her frequently. My longhair cat was not as impressed, but then he hates pretty much any attempt to groom him with any kind of brush, so I don't count that against the brush! Basically it does what it says it will do, and my dog likes it!

Not really what i expected i guess. My other brush works a lot better, but this one isn’t bad

This definitely pulls out undercoat on a long haired cat - the photo if from less than 10 strokes on a cat who is brushed regularly. When I tried it on an actual knot/mat of fur it didn't do much, although it might have been the mat was too small, but I think it will probably be useful for preventing mats in the first place. It's smaller head size is idea for a cat, small dog, or small areas of a large dog like their legs.That said, this is a pretty harsh brush - it pulls at the fur and you can easily end up pulling the skin too, and I think if you used it too often there would be a risk of actually removing more hair than you want. Although the innermost curve of the teeth looks like it has a sharp edge, when I tested it on paper and string it really cut at all so I think that's an illusion. Even so, it does really grip the hair and pull it.My cat didn't love it - she tolerates it for a couple of minutes, but if I try to use it longer than that she lets me know she's done. She definitely doesn't enjoy it like she does some brushes. I'll be using it selectively, every few days, on areas at high risk of matting.It did get some hair off my short haired cat, although not nearly as much. He also tolerated it for a few minutes and then seemed to become annoyed with the tugging (which was less with his short fur, but there was still some). I probably wouldn't bother to get it for a short haired cat.The packaging included what seemed like an unnecessary plastic insert - replacing that with cardboard would be a good change. Otherwise, overall, this is a good tool for long haired cats prone to matting, but might be too intense for others.

I have another one of these curved slicker brushes to brush my long-haired cat, who has a very dense undercoat. However, that slicker has the metal tines perpendicular to the handle, which makes it awkward to use because my cat will constantly roll over and walk around while being groomed. This FOTN slicker solves that problem. Perfect to switch from hand to hand, and get into the coat at different angles. I brushed him this morning with the other slicker, and then this afternoon with the FOTN slicker, and a ton more hair came up! (My short-hair loves this too, though it doesn't do anything for his coat. He just seems to enjoy the massage.)Please pay attention to measurements. The photoshopped pictures in the listing are a bit misleading, and some show the slicker brush as larger than it is. The slicker head is only about 1.5" -- perfect for really getting in there on a cat. This slicker brush seems well-made and durable with a solid-feeling handle, and it's very nice that the sharp edges never touch the animal's skin (nor mine). Recommended!

My girl Xochitl is on the longer side of short-haired cats. We already had a deshedding brush leftover from a shiba inu who passed due to old age used on our old man tabby with a thick undercoat, but it was wide with short teeth and she hated it. She also hates the steam brush and the cheap wire cat brush that I don't think works that well anyway. This one she likes. It takes a moment to collect all the hair you need so this product requires patience since it's not as sharp as other designs. But it's very easy to remove the collected hair that gathers in the curved head that's about the size of a human razor in length. The handle is comfortable for the duration of use. It also works well on our other cat Sesame, a flame point with very short but incredibly dense hair. But he is not as fussy about brushing as Xochitl so that's less of an endorsement for the design and more a confirmation of other fur types it works with.
