Our Review Of The Safari Slicker Brush:

We were a little sceptical about the Safari Slicker Brush after reading some mixed reviews on the web about the problems of the cat brush breaking after relatively little use. However, we were keen to give the brush ago as the ability to retract the brush's pins after grooming our cats seemed like a really neat idea. Basically after you have finished grooming your cat you press a button and the brush pins retract allowing you to simply empty the hair in the bin. No more cat hair mess after grooming sounded like a really impressive design feature.

The cat brush arrived and upon opening the box the grooming slicker brush looked solidly constructed. We first tried it out on our short haired cat. the results were a little disappointing. The steel pins of the slicker brush were just too long for his coat and we felt that rather than grooming our cat that we were really giving him a massage and removing some dead skin. He really did not like being groomed with the Safari Slicker Brush.

Next up was our long haired cat who has always been a bit jumpy when it comes to grooming with cat brushes. We found the brush a lot easier to use with a long haired cat. We had used soft bristle brushes before but these again gave more of a massage to our long haired cat than removed dead hair from it's undercoat. The steel pins of the brush really worked their magic and got deep into our cats fur removing pieces of debris and dead fur from its undercoat. We were very impressed with the results.

When it came to cleaning the cat brush it was a very simple affair. You simply pushed the button and the brush self cleaned itself leaving just a handful of fur and debris to be put in the bin.

For best results with the Safari Slicker Cat Brush we would advise gently pulling the brush through your cat's fur in the same direction as the hair growth.

Our Verdict:

	Great cat brush for long haired cats
	We loved the self cleaning design which stops cat hair from getting on the floor after grooming
	The construction is solid and we can only imagine the brush breaking under extreme strain
	Not good for short haired cats, our cat really did not enjoy the experience
	Relatively cheap considering the self cleaning feature
