LeMieux Hippo Brush - Green

Yes, the Hippo Brush is designed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin, making it suitable for young animals as well as adult horses and dogs.

The bristle side is best for sweeping away loose hair, dust, and mud, while the rubber scrubby side is ideal for lathering soap and scrubbing away more stubborn stains like grass marks.

It is recommended to rinse the brush after each use to remove debris. A more thorough wash with soap and water can be done periodically, depending on usage frequency and the types of dirt encountered.

The Hippo Brush is versatile and suitable for most coat types. For very short, dense coats, the rubber side may be more effective when used wet. For very coarse, long coats, the bristles are effective for removing loose hair.

It is best to use mild, animal-specific shampoos or conditioners with the brush. Harsh chemicals could potentially damage the material over time.

No, the color of the brush (e.g., Green, Orange, Pink) does not affect its performance. The functionality is identical across all available colors.

Ensure the bristle side is clean and free of debris. For tougher coats, apply gentle pressure and use short, sweeping strokes.

Use a small amount of grooming shampoo or conditioner with water on the rubber side. Allow the lather to sit on the stain for a minute before scrubbing.

The stiffness is inherent to the design for effective scrubbing. If it feels overly stiff, ensure you are using sufficient water or a mild cleaning solution.

Rinse the brush thoroughly with water and a mild soap, ensuring all residue is removed. Allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. A dilute vinegar solution can also help neutralize odors if rinsing alone is insufficient.
