20 Best Grooming Tools For Cats (2023 Updated)

This product works great. I am giving it a 4 rather than a 5 star rating b/c of one little hic-cup. When using the brushes to vacuum my dogs (Husky and Australian Shepherd) it does help to pull off the excess hair on my dogs so their coats stay less tangled and are shiny and healthy, but the hair attaches so well to the brush that you have to pull the dog hair off the brush to allow the vacuum to suck it up.

So just a tiny little bump in the road. I do so love how there isn’t a bunch of dog hair needing swept up after a brushing/vacuuming. I use a shop vac when vacuuming my dogs b/c I don’t want my household vacuum getting clogged up with so much dog hair b/c this product will remove a lot of excess dog hair that your dog would otherwise be shedding all over your home.

This product really is the best way to go.

This grooming kit is a God sent. Both my cats have long hair. I love cats but I am also allergic to them. Hair management is important and this grooming kit has a tool to thin out the undercoat (the one that sheds).

I could not believe how much it takes off. Both Dexter & Phoebe are relaxed during their grooming. I live in an air conditioned environment in the north of Thailand and both are kept cool until we go for a walk.

I have noticed that they now are more comfortable since I started removing their undercoat and I can keep the indoor temperature a little bit warmer. I save money too. Seriously, great quality product but would you expect any less from CatIt?.

Good price for all the different pieces, solid brushes and case. very nice quality. The cat approved very much of all the included brushes. Container to store it all in is also very nice. Would recommend.

I am very happy with the grooming kit it’s very well made and everything that’s needed for your cat. The only thing there are no scissors in the kit.

I have two short-haired cats who shed a decent amount. I’ve tried many rubber brushes (like the hand mitt one) because I didn’t think they’d need a metal brush (being short-haired – thought it would be too much).

The thing with rubber brushes is they seem to get hair everywhere as you are brushing them. I wanted a brush that would aid in their grooming while eliminating fly-away fur. I read the reviews and decided to try this brush.

When it arrived I was worried it would be too hard/rough, but as long as you are gentle while brushing there are no issues. I LOVE THIS BRUSH! Picture is from our first use. There were zero fly-away hairs and this brush grabbed so much off of their coats.

Both of my cats were wanting to be brushed by it so they love it as well! If you have a very short-haired cat, I would not recommend this. I can’t say how this would be for long-haired cats, but for standard short-haired cats this brush is worth the price.

There is a button you can click for fur release but I find it doesn’t work that well. I don’t mind this because I just grab the fur directly off of the brush and add it to the pile as I go along, but if you’re wanting the brush for that feature please note it’s not super functional.

FURminator Long Hair Cat Deshedding Tool — This is amazing. The amount of hair it removes is astounding, yet it leaves the over coat intact. We use it outside because the cat hair floats everywhere even though most is caught in the brush.

It looks like it would cut hair, but does not. The over/guard hair passes through the comb and the under coat is gathered. It will take several brushings to cover the whole cat. Our cats get tired of the process and move on.

They don’t mind the tool any more than a regular brush. It is very easy to use on a medium/short haired cat, especially if they like to be brushed. Our LONG haired cat is more work. The tool works easily on long hair as well.

There is a slight resistance as you brush. It does not snag or pull unless there is a tangle or mat. We ordered this one because of the design. I don’t know if other less expensive models would be as effective, but if we order a second, we’d probably try one.

We have not used the hair ejector, so I don’t know if that works. You don’t really need it though.

We have 4 short hair orange cats who have incredibly thick fur and it gets everywhere, plus 2 other cats! I used wire slicker brushes and a fine-toothed metal comb in the past. The slicker brush didn’t really get the undercoat and they didn’t have a lot of patience for it.

The FURminator removes HUGE amounts of hair and undercoat! I sit on the floor and they flop down by me, with the others coming to stand in line for their turn! Cats who have never let me near them with a brush have lined up for me to use this after watching the others enjoying it so much.

I do use the slicker brush to gather the loose hair off of the cats while using the FURminator. Several of ours like to be vacuumed so I also keep that handy to frequently clean up the massive amounts of hair that is coming out.

I’m finally making some progress and seeing less fur sticking to the furniture, etc. >^. ^<.

I wanted to get something I use to help with my dobermans shedding. My black doberman sheds like crazy and my red doberman sheds a little. I debated between this and the “Furminator” for a few days. I thought that the “Furminator” was just too expensive, in my opinion.

But what if this “Furblaster” doesnt work at all, and then I end up having to buy the Furminator anyway. But then what if the “Furblaster” works great?! I would save money! So I decided to just go with the “Furblaster” and see what happens.

Wanna know what happened? Of course you do! A WHOLE LOT OF DESHEDDED HAIR!! Like an INSANE amount! I kept asking my dogs “how are you not bald yet?!?!” and they were like “We don’t know, and we don’t care! Just don’t stop brushing us because we are LOVING this!” At least I’m 100% positive that’s what they would have said.

ya know. if they could talk. Anyhoo. I am super impressed with this brush. I notice WAY less hair laying around the house, collecting in the corners, decorating my outfit of the day, permanently stuck to the interior seats of my truck like their glued onto the upholstery, floating in my coffee and somehow ending up in my mouth at the most random of times.

(Looking at you black doberman). NOW, I will say, the very first time I used this brush, even though I was floored by the amount of hair coming off of my dogs, it did stir up a massive amount of dander.

HOWER- both of my dogs struggled with flakey/dandruff-y shampoo and I had just bathed them with a new (super, phenomenally awesome) shampoo (from 4-Legger, totes recommend, not sponsored). So the fact that they both looked like I had just sprinkled table salt on them, wasn’t their best look.

But the more I used the brush, the better and better there coats got! It may gave been a double play between the brush and shampoo, but who knows. Either way, my dobermans are looking MAJESTIC AF, and I have way less dog hair around my house and in my truck.

The brush itself is super sturdy, good quality, doesnt feel cheap or like it’s going to fall apart. I love that the comb part comes off for easy cleaning as well. And even though the main structure of the brush is plastic, I definitely expect it to last a VERY long time as long as one of the dogs stops thinking it’s the worlds greatest toy and trying to run away with it in his mouth.

(Looking at you red doberman).

This is a decent tool for brushing my American Bulldog. He has straight, short hair that is almost like quills. He sheds a decent amount and when he itches or shakes it is noticeable especially in the spring time when losing that winter coat.

This tool helps get rid of that loose hair.

i wasn’t sure it was working at first, it seemed so light but after a little while of my cat arching her back and shaking her tail (she’s picked up some doggy traits, tail wagging is joy for her) while I brushed her, there was a good amount of shedding collected.

it’s easy on my hand and so slick it doesn’t pull any hair. it went smoothly with the grain, no need to really work at it, an angle helps but it’s quick to figure out. i think we’re both happy with it and i noticed compared to similar tools on here it’s alot less expensive.

on top of that there’s a card with an easy warranty, a free training ebook talking about behaviours as well, and even a discount on your next purchase. i’m glad i picked this one and i feel like the company is great too.

totally worth it.

Sorry to say that the brush I recently purchased is not of the same quality as the one I purchased 13 years ago for my two cats. The new brush looks nearly identical to the original one but only nearly.

The new one is just enough shorter to make a difference in how it fits my hand. And, the rubber is difficult to clean because the surface is not as smooth, especially on the bottom. Also, the older brush was much easier to pull the fur away from the “teeth” and bottom to clean after daily use.

The original would take less than a minute to clean after each brushing. The new one isn’t as smooth textured as the original one and the fur is more difficult to separate from the rubber bristles and the bottom.

My two cats still love being brushed and ask for it every day. It’s our ritual. I don’t know if they notice any difference between the old and new, but I certainly do. I’m the one who cleans it. The next time I’m in a pet shop, I’ll look for the brush in the dog section —- that’s the department where I found the original one.

Sometimes cat items are made slightly different but appear identical to the dog version. That might explain a difference in size but I would expect identical materials in that it’s purpose and use is the same.

I’ve been using my ZoomGroom brush for many years now, and it’s one of my favorite gifts to special friends. The shape fits right into the palm of your hand, and the whole brush is made out of soft rubbery stuff, might be silicone.

The soft, pliable bristles pick up the loose undercoat hairs that cause all those icky nasty hairballs, while providing an enjoyable massage for your fur baby. And because they are so soft and pliable, they won’t scratch or tear your baby’s very thin and delicate skin.

I find ZoomGroom especially good for older cats who have lost weight and muscle mass due to renal failure or other ailments. My 16-year-old has lost so much weight that it has become difficult to provide a good scratching over her bony back.

This brush gives her a safe and gentle massage that she just loves. I especially like to treat her to a good brushing after I’ve given her meds or fluids. It’s so nice to be able to do something for her that makes her so happy.

My kitties, and I, as well, love this brush. It is soft enough to not irritate the skin, I don’t worry about damaging the eye or mouth area, and it is excellent at grabbing and trapping loose hair. My “mature” cat has short, thick hair and he loves the massage factor.

My long-haired kitten would sit still for seemingly hours while I pamper him. They each get a daily grooming session to prevent those pesky hairballs. I had one of these, I just purchased two more. Another one for me and one for my friend who also has a long-haired kitty friend.

She loves hers, as well.

my cat moves around a lot when being brushed and tends not to like other brushes. he still tries to walk around when i use this one, but at least i can tell he doesn’t hate it. it gets the job done but pulling out all the loose fur from his coat.

i saw other reviews saying it’s sharp; it’s honestly not that sharp at all. i tap my finger against it a few times and it doesn’t hurt, though the bristles are thin so i would avoid brushing the face with this obviously.

very good on the back, sides and tail of the cat and maybe if your cat allows it, the belly should be fine too.

By not getting a self cleaning slicker, i knew cleaning it out would be a pain. But one of the combs I got at a hotel has the perfect spacing and is the perfect size to slide in and lift hair all in one go.

However, the packaging is not very sturdy, so when shipped it got crushed and bent a bunch of the pins back toward the pad. I was able to reshape them enough for the brush to be at least usable again, but did get a few pokes and couldn’t ever get them all the way right.

My cat isn’t shedding much YET, but this brush easily gets through her thick but short coat to lift the dandruff/build up on her rump where she cant reach. This brush actually lifts all the dandruff, so the first time i brushed her I was grossed out.

But the next day, none flaked off – one good session lifted the build up so now it’s just maintenance. she LOVES this brush on her cheeks, but since they are uncapped pins and some are wonky, i had to teach her to hold still so I could control the brush and make sure she didn’t headbutt herself into a poked eye.

Pins are fine enough to feel good but thin enough to have some give, meaning when they hit her skin they flex enough not to scratch or poke her. I wish all the pins worked as ell as those in the original shape, but they mostly-bent back ones I had to re shape post packaging smush are much less effective (1/3 the brush head).

Im obsessed with brushes because I own horses and 2 large dogs who are heavy shedders. Unfortunately for my cats, this obsession transfers over to them as well, so I currently have 8 different brushes that I use on them.

The only kind of brush that I know of that I have not used is a long toothed dematting comb, and it’s because of this brush. My long haired cat NEVER has matts in her fur because this brush works so well that I use it on her briefly every day and it takes care of her shedding and tangling.

She also tolerates it well, and she has VERY sensitive skin so she loathes brushes that pull. Which is most of them. So, according to my cat, this brush barely tugs when I use it. This isn’t a complaint, it’s more of a note, but it’s not the best brush in the world for my 2 short haired cats.

One of them has a very thin undercoat so it’s easy to get out, but the other short hair has an unusually thick undercoat. This brush helps a bit, but a Furblaster used occasionally combined with a normal old $2 hairbrush daily works way better for both of them.

This brush is still good, just not the best. However, it still falls in second place.

I bought this on a whim the other day because I was looking for something to manage my cat’s dander as we get closer to the holiday season, since we always end up having a lot of guests. I wasn’t totally sure if my cat would like this brush because of the metal bristles, but it was on sale for insanely cheap and I thought I may as well try it.

Well. I’ve already tossed her old brush away. She immediately started purring the first time I used this brush on her, and even let me brush part of her tummy, which she is always a hit or miss about.

I could probably brush her for hours with this thing and she’d just sit there in pure bliss. But that isn’t even the best part; this brush is way easier to clean than her old brush, and I can just slide all of the hair and dander the brush picked up straight into the garbage, with barely any of it flying away into the air.

The only thing I wish I had done was get the smaller brush, since I have a smaller cat, but I don’t necessarily mind this regular sized one since it can hold more hair while brushing. I wish I could give this six stars.

My mom wants a human version for herself. Best spur of the moment purchase I’ve made for my cat.

It is true that the brush has a mechanism to cleanly eject the fur. HOWEVER, the ejection mechanism is the default. In order to bare the combs in the brush you have to hold down the button on the handle quite firmly, which is tiring and uncomfortable.

But the second you ease up on it, the plastic bar comes up over the slicker tines and ejects the hairs. so its hard to keep up steady brushing. It would be much more satisfactory/useful if the button could lock into place for actual brushing/grooming and then be released to eject the hair.

Yes, its easy to clean; but more difficult that necessary to use as a brush. I was disappointed.

At first I thought i liked this brush, even tho I had a hard time pushing the button. I wasn’t sure if it was because of having finger nails. My dogs liked it better than my other wire bristle brush & I liked that i didn’t have to sit & pick the hair out of the bristles.

But very soon the button started getting more finicky & wouldn’t release, so the self cleaning becomes non existent. After fiddling with the button, it’d release, but then came the fiddling to get it pushed in & to stay.

(so its not my nails). If the button worked as it should, I’d still like the brush, but as is, I kind of hate it. I don’t want to keep fighting with a brush just to brush my dogs.

I used to have this very fat cat with thick coarse hair. Due to her size hair type, it was hard to clean everywhere enough so she would end up having these big clumps of hair that were the size of golf balls on her fur.

Brushing didn’t even make a dent, so i used to cut them down as much as possible but the skin would be so delicate in that area it knew it was hurting her just to touch it, I had to find a new way to help her.

I tried regular brushes hair removing gloves but they either didn’t work at all or they only worked by removing the loose hair already on the surface. For Christmas, years back, my brother gave me the shed magic deshedder.

He actually used it for his dogs who had long hair said it worked well. I tried it out the next day it removed so much bulk of her hair seriously cut down those clumps to manageable pieces where I could then cut them off easily.

It works great but it would be even better for smaller breeds and shorter fuzzy undercoated dogs if the blades were a little closer together. Other than that this has been my best go to for deshedding dogs.

I really like this Shed Magic tool. There are two different ones, one with the little teeth and one with just the rake. I like the one with the little teeth.

I previously made a negative review about this comb because it didn’t work well for my Smooth Fox Terrier. She has a thick coat and has a decent amount of shedding year round. Since then we got a husky and boy does he shed! I think huskies might be my new definition of real shed.

But we’ve been struggling with constant flyaway hairs even after using a great top coat comb in showers and she he’s dry. So I remembered I had this and decided to give it another try. I kid you not, it got rid of maybe 90% of his flyaway hairs.

This was what we took off of him after his shower from yesterday. I don’t recommend for Terriers or dogs similar to Costa like terriers because it’s not effective. But on huskies it’s a game changer!.

This tool is amazing! I bought it specifically to de-tangle my cat who had lots of mats on his lower back. I didn’t even know short haired cats could get matted up and when I noticed it he probably had 20 knots.

So gross and I know uncomfortable for him. I got online and read reviews and found this. I’m not gonna lie it was hard to figure out how to use it first without hurting him. It took a couple of sessions so he could tolerate it.

After a while I learned how to work them out. He was pretty angry at me but I was so amazed! I got all of these deeply knitted mats out And his fur is now clean and smooth. I plan to use it going forward at least once a week to keep him in shape.

I didn’t really understand how mats worked until now (Undercoat tangling up). I highly recommend this tool.

Ali is a 6 year old DSH that doesn’t enjoy brushing but heavily sheds year round. Ali sheds twice as much as my American bobtail Jezebel & I’m convinced it’s because unlike the longer coat cat who demands nightly brushing, Ali doesn’t allow us to brush her at all.

I purchased this brush with that in mind. Ali continues to shed but thanks to this inexpensive brush the shedding has become manageable. I suspect If Ali would allow more frequent brushing this little brush would minimize the shedding significantly.

At present brushing is allowed 1 a week for no longer than 10 minutes & never her belly.

I was a bit skeptical that this tool would be much different than the brush and comb I’d been using on my heavy shedder. He has a low tolerance level for grooming tactics from his humans and you just watch the hair float around (and stick to hands, clothes, everything).

Well he loves his daily furminator sessions to the point he will come and remind me if we miss one. And after a week of grooming about 15 minutes per day I noticed he is shedding significantly less and his fur is silky.

After two weeks, the amount of fur coming out is much less and he doesn’t seem to itch all the time like he had. I have only tried it on dry fur (I don’t own enough bandaids to shampoo him :). But it has exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend.

One note, take your time to find their comfort zone on the way you use the tool and don’t try to over do it on the first session. Let you and your kitty get use to it.

Purchased for my calico kitty. It’s heading into spring and hopefully this will be helpful for her shedding season. I really like the handle grip on this brush, each side has a grip that feels really comfortable.

As a heads up, don’t expect this to be similar to the Furminator de-shedding brushes — this is more of a traditional brush than something to get into a pet’s undercoat. I was really hoping this could get into her undercoat, and it doesn’t, which is why I’m giving the product four stars instead of five.

The advantage here, though, is that you have two sides, a wire brush to get all your pet’s shed hair, and a smoothing brush that helps distribute oils to keep your pet’s fur looking healthy. This is a smaller brush, so it may not be helpful for a large dog owner.

This is perfect for Bella, my cat, however. She likes this brush, she can be skittish about new things — including brushes — but she didn’t run away and judge me from a distance (her usual reaction).

She let me make passes with both sides of the brush. I call that a win!.

My cat has a sensitive stomach and cannot tolerate any grains or gluten, which are common ingredients in cheap, run of the mill cat foods. There are no meat by-products in this food, which is great. It’s hard to find pet foods that don’t contain by-products.

My vet was recommending a prescription food, and I pointed out to him the ingredient list which listed corn gluten and meat by-products, and I explained that my cat only vomits food containing these ingredients.

Unfortunately veterinarians, like human doctors, aren’t really educated on nutrition. It took me a long time to search for the right cat food product by carefully reading the ingredient labels on each one.

Only one negative and that is the price, but when it comes to cat food, you definitely get what you pay for.

I tried to write a review for this earlier but I guess this got lost. I have a very big boned 16. 75 lb black cat who seems to think that he is the supreme leader of the universe. Therefore, I feed him accordingly.

He is a poultry and ham madman. Whenever I try to open a can of this, he would be on top my hand, strong pawing his way in there so he could control the funky duck and potato goodness and I was only there, inhibiting his entry into the can….

In other words. David (That’s his name) loves it and it gets kudos for that. Just the fact that it is Blue Buffalo, Should tell anyone that this is prime pet food and always a good choice (They even do veterinary diets now, as well!!).

Go, David , go!!.

The cat loves this effective little brush which really does the job and gets those stray hairs out!!

‘Saved a Logitech “solar powered” keyboard by replacing the rechargeable battery.

Great little brush for cats. They love it. It has the same quality features as a more expensive brush and it seems well made.

I have a long haired cat whom we had to have clipped twice a year because of tangled fur. This brush removes the tangles and I no longer have to have him clipped.
