You Spend Longer Clearing The Brush
Three strokes into a shedding coat and a slicker is full. Then it is fingers, or a comb dragged through the pins, and half of it ends up on the floor anyway. The Plumia has a button on the back, press it and the pins withdraw into the head.
The fur you just collected lifts off as one clean pad and goes straight in the bin. Fine bent stainless steel pins set close together, on a contoured rubber handle that does not punish you halfway through a big dog.
Why It’s Better
- Empties With One Push: Press the button, the pins retract and the whole mat of fur lifts off in one piece, straight into the bin.
- Fine Bent Pins: Closely spaced stainless steel pins with a slight bend, which is what lets them work through a coat.
- Fur Lifts Off: The hair separates as a single pad rather than in handfuls, so it never ends up back on the floor.
- Rubber Handle: A contoured ribbed grip, because brushing a big dog is a longer job than people expect.
- Dogs And Cats: The same brush suits both, with a lighter hand on a cat.
- Three Colors: Gray, pink or blue.
Perfect for the coat that drops half of itself every spring
Double-coated dogs and long-haired cats have a season, and during it the brushing is daily whether anyone feels like it or not. What makes people skip a day is almost never the brushing, it is standing over a bin afterwards pulling hair out of a brush. Take that out and the daily job is two minutes.
Press. The fur comes off in one piece.
Questions
How do I use it without hurting my pet?
Light strokes, in the direction the coat lies, holding the handle loosely. The pins are fine steel and they are meant to move through the coat, not to be pressed into the skin. If the skin is going pink you are pushing far too hard.
Will it get mats out?
It lifts loose hair and works through light tangles. A coat with solid mats close to the skin is a job for a groomer with clippers, and trying to brush those out is painful for the animal.
How much hair does it remove?
As much as is loose. We do not publish a percentage, because it depends entirely on the coat, the season and how often you brush.
Is it suitable for a cat?
Yes, with a lighter hand and shorter sessions. Many cats will tolerate a minute or two and then be done, which is fine: two short sessions beat one long argument.
How do I clean the brush itself?
Press the button, lift the fur pad off, and wipe the head with a barely damp cloth every so often. Do not soak it: there is a spring mechanism inside.
What size is it?
It is a standard handheld slicker, sized for a hand rather than for a particular breed.
Why self-cleaning rather than a plain slicker?
Because picking fur out of pins is the reason a plain slicker ends up in a drawer. Press the button, the pins retract, the whole mat lifts off in one piece, and you go again.
