Our review
The Pat Your Pet Deshedding Brush has 42,000+ reviews and is the kind of product that makes you wonder why you ever used anything else. The double-sided design gives you two tools in one: 9 teeth for dematting tough knots, 17 teeth for thinning and deshedding the undercoat.
One reviewer used it on dogs, cats, horses, AND sheep — and says it outperformed every specialised tool he owned. His cats pushed each other out of the way to be brushed. His horse let out a 'gentle, soothing whine' and stood completely still. The amount of undercoat it removes is genuinely shocking — reviewers post photos of fur piles bigger than the pets themselves.
Rounded teeth ends protect skin from scratching. Non-slip ergonomic handle. Works on all coat types — long, short, thick, curly. Multiple reviewers say it is better than the Furminator at a fraction of the price. 10,000+ bought per month. Includes a cute paw tag for your pet's collar.
The downsides: 3% one-star — some pets find it uncomfortable, especially on sensitive skin or very short coats. You need to brush tangles out first before deshedding. Can pull if used too aggressively. And it will not replace professional grooming for severely matted coats. But at $13.49 for a brush that works on virtually every furry animal and has 76% five-star reviews, this is the grooming tool every pet owner needs.

FAQ
Is it safe for my pet's skin?
Yes — the teeth ends are rounded specifically to prevent scratching or irritating the skin. Use gentle pressure in the direction of hair growth for best results.
Does it work on short-haired pets?
It works on all coat types, but is most effective on medium to long coats with undercoat. On very short, thin coats, use light pressure to avoid discomfort.
How much fur does it actually remove?
A shocking amount — reviewers regularly post photos of fur piles larger than their pets. Regular use dramatically reduces shedding around the house.
Is it better than the Furminator?
Multiple reviewers say yes — it is gentler, equally effective, and a fraction of the price. The double-sided design adds versatility the Furminator does not have.
