FAQs

What is the difference between the pin side and the bristle side?

The pin side, with stainless steel pins, is designed to detangle and remove loose undercoat and dead skin. The bristle side, with nylon bristles, is for smoothing the coat and removing surface-level loose hairs.

Is this brush suitable for my short-haired cat?

Yes, this brush is suitable for short-haired cats. The bristle side is excellent for collecting loose fur, and the pin side can be used gently for added grooming.

How often should I use this brush?

For best results, groom your pet regularly, typically a few times a week. Frequency can be adjusted based on your pet's coat type and shedding level.

Can I use this brush on a puppy or kitten?

Yes, it can be used on puppies and kittens, especially the bristle side or the pin side with very gentle pressure, to get them accustomed to grooming.

What makes the 'Ergo' range special?

The Ergo range, including this brush, focuses on ergonomic design for comfortable handling and effective pet coat care. This specific brush features a comfortable wooden handle and effective grooming surfaces.

Will this brush help with shedding?

Yes, both sides contribute to managing shedding. The pin side removes loose undercoat and dead hair, while the bristle side catches surface loose hairs.

What size is this brush?

This product listing is for the Large size of the Ancol Wood Handle Double Sided Brush.

Troubleshooting

Brush is not removing enough loose hair.

Ensure you are using the correct side for the task. For deeper de-shedding, ensure the pin side is being used effectively. For surface loose hair, the bristle side is more appropriate. For very dense coats, multiple passes or a different tool might be needed.

Pet seems uncomfortable during grooming.

Check that the pins are not snagging the fur. Ensure you are grooming gently and not applying excessive pressure. For sensitive pets, introduce the brush gradually and use the bristle side first.

Wooden handle shows signs of wear.

Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Wipe clean with a damp cloth rather than washing under running water. If the wood appears dry, a light application of a pet-safe wood conditioner can be considered.

Bristles are bent or damaged.

Do not force the brush through severe tangles. Gently comb out mats before using the brush. If bristles are significantly damaged, consider replacing the brush.
