The Ancol Ergo Wood Handle Slicker Brush is a multi-purpose grooming tool for short, long, wiry and curly coats. The stainless steel pins are thin and bendy and can be used to ease out a tangle more gently than a comb. The pins penetrate deep into the coat and effectively remove large quantities of dead and loose hair from both the undercoat and the top coat. Grooming your pet helps maintain a smooth and glossy coat and is an important way of bonding with them.
