Is it good for long-haired dogs?

Only as a finishing brush. The pins are short and fine, so they lift loose top-coat hair but do not reach the undercoat on long or double-coated breeds. Use a rake or comb first for those coats.

Does it work on cats?

Yes. The small head and gentle rounded pins suit cats, including indoor cats that shed. Short-haired cats get the most from it; long-haired cats need a comb as well.

How does the self-cleaning feature work?

You press the button on the back and the bristle pad pushes forward, so the collected hair slides off the pins. Clear it after each session so packed hair does not jam the mechanism.

No. It is a de-shedding brush, not a detangler. Cut or comb out mats with a proper tool before brushing, or the pins will pull on them.

Is it safe for puppies?

The rounded plastic tips make it gentle enough for a puppy's first grooming sessions. Brush lightly and keep sessions short.

Our take on the Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush

The Swihauk is a slicker brush with fine stainless steel pins set in a plastic head and a push-button pad that retracts the bristles so the collected hair lifts off in one piece. It is aimed at everyday deshedding on dogs and cats with short to medium coats, and the rounded pin tips are meant to keep it comfortable on sensitive skin. It is a basic grooming tool rather than a detangler or undercoat rake, so it handles loose surface hair well but struggles with mats and thick double coats. Owners of short-haired pets tend to get the most from it; long-haired and heavy-shedding breeds usually need a rake or comb alongside it.
