If your pet is always a bit wary of you brushing out their coat, it may be because the brush you’re using a bit paintful. A lot of slicker pet brushes have stiff needle-like bristles that are tough on tangles and also rough on your pet’s skin. Do your pet a favor and upgrade your brush to the self-cleaning, gentle slicker brush from Ruff ‘N Ruffus that cuts down on cleanup time and prevents your cat or dog from yowling in pain.

The Ruff ‘N Ruffus Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush is a pain-free alternative to standard fine-tooth brushes. Each bristle on the Ruff ‘N Ruffus brush has a soft plastic tip that prevents the bristles from scratching delicate skin, but they’re still sturdy enough to power through the fluffiest of fur. And when you’re done brushing, just push the button on the brush to retract the bristles and wipe the hair off the protective shield.

Right now, the Ruff ‘N Ruffus slicker brush is just $11, and it comes with a free set of pet nail clippers to complete your at-home grooming kit.
