Product Information

Ellen Vogel is a Fear Free-certified groomer and the owner of Trilling Cat, a cat grooming salon in Durham, North Carolina. She is also a certified Cat-Friendly Veterinary Professional.

These remarkable custom brushes have been sought after by Clubs for their Show Award Trophies for almost two decades. A curry brush has rubber bristles, and it can be ideal for removing dead hair without potentially irritating your cat. Corless, a professional groomer, suggests this for cats with short hair. “All you’re dealing with is shedding,” she explains. “Use the curry-style brush with the little rubber bristles on it. The point of those rubber bristles is that they grip the dead hair.” The Chris Christensen Greyhound comb is a splurge, but Vogel assures that it is well worth the price. “It will remove shedding fur and most cats enjoy the feel,” she says. The comb is made of solid metal and designed with fine and extra-fine teeth. And while it will ensure that your cat’s fur is free of knots, tangles, and loose hair, the comb’s rounded tips are gentle on the skin.

Johnson explains that “a soft-bristle brush could be a nice way of introducing the sensation of brushing to a cat.” However, Johnson adds that “the soft-bristle brush is really more for pleasure so it’s not going to get out knots and tangles and all the fur out.” Other Types Of Brushes & Grooming Tools Brushing your cat’s fur regularly can remove mats, tangles, and loose hair while keeping their coat shiny and healthy. However, not all felines like being groomed — and if your cat is one of them, you’ll need to choose your tools wisely. To find the best brushes for cats that hate to be brushed, I consulted a veterinarian and certified Fear-Free groomers for tips on choosing the right grooming tools. According to Texas-based veterinarian Jamie Whittenburg, DVM: “When starting out, or when you encounter a cat that does not like being brushed, you should always start with a soft-bristle brush.” Once a cat is accustomed to being brushed, however, you might be able to introduce them to other grooming tools to keep their fur in tip-top condition. The Experts Johnson likes to use wide-tooth and fine-tooth combs to groom cats, regardless of whether they have long or short hair, starting with a wide-tooth de-matting comb to untangle knots and mats. “You don’t want to use a fine-toothed comb that would just yank and pull, so what I like to use as the very first line of defense is a de-matting comb,” says Johnson. As for Vogel, she specifically recommends a Greyhound comb — she describes, “A good Greyhound comb can help with a shedding undercoat and remove small tangles before they become a big problem.” Many of our products are covered under the manufacturers’ guarantees and therefore we have little control over warranty product replacement/repairs.

5. A Wide-Tooth De-Matting Comb

The colored anti static coating really does set this comb aside from other combs on the market place. It has proven to be very popular, with professionals and groomers. But an aversion to brushing could have to do with discomfort. Dr. Whittenburg says, “If a cat is matted or has tangled hair, the pain of brushing will definitely cause the cat to not enjoy being brushed.” For this reason, it’s important to groom a cat before it develops tangles. Vogel explains: “Unfortunately, many owners have busy lives, and brushing or combing is not thought of until they notice tangles or mats while petting their cat. Brushes and combs will pull on the tangled fur causing pain, which many cats will then associate with the brush or comb.” Understanding how to design and manufacture truly ultra-premium quality grooming tools, everything Ruth Ashley does reflects her commitment to exceptional products. Combining traditional techniques, the 2009 Panagenics products evolved into the cutting-edge Essentials Line, followed by the coveted luxury 2011 Show Salon Spa products.

One cat owner wrote: “I have a Ragdoll cat that has suddenly started getting terrible clumps of matted fur. It’s impossible to brush them out. I had started trying to cut them out but it was way too stressful for him. This little comb is amazing for detangling the fur and removing the clumps, and he actually enjoys it!” Carefully cultivated over decades with the input of many wonderful customers, the product lines connect with the heart-warming animals and consumers they are trying to help.

Another commonly used grooming tool is a de-shedding tool, such as the FURminator, to remove dead hair. I’ve listed the tool as a nice-to-have option because it can take some skill to use. Corless reminds pet owners to be extra gentle: “You have to be careful with how you use it because sometimes people tend to be rougher than they realize, which can be painful.” Ingrid Johnson , fear free-certified groomer, certified cat behavior consultant (CCBC), and owner of Fundamentally Feline Consumable parts are not normally covered under a warranty.
