GiGwi Long Tapered Bristled Brush for Dogs & Cats

The GiGwi Long Tapered Bristled Brush is the longer-bristled version of GiGwi's rubber brush. The extra length lets it reach down through a thicker coat than a short massage brush can manage, and it still works wet in the bath or dry between them.

Key Features

• Long tapered bristles: Longer than the massage brush, so they reach through a thicker or longer coat.
• Soft TPR: Rubber bristles rather than metal pins, which makes scratching the skin much harder to do.
• Wet or dry: Works shampoo down to the skin in the bath, or lifts loose fur on a dry coat.
• Suits most coats: GiGwi describe it as suitable for long, short and curly coats.
• Honeycomb back: A honeycomb pattern on the back cuts the weight and gives a grip that holds when wet.

How To Brush

• Work in the direction the coat lies, in short strokes, section by section.
• Keep the pressure light. If the skin is pinking up, you are pressing too hard.
• Hold a mat at the base with your free hand so you are not pulling on the skin.
• Finish while your pet is still happy. Two short sessions beat one long fight.
• Clear the hair out as you go -- a loaded brush stops gripping.

Which GiGwi Brush

• Self-cleaning slicker -- fine metal pins, the most effective on a long matting coat, and the one to be gentlest with.
• Long tapered bristled brush -- this one, rubber bristles long enough for most coats, wet or dry.
• Soothing massage bath brush -- the shortest bristles, for short and curly coats and for bath time.

Good To Know

• Go gently over bony areas, the belly, the armpits and anywhere thin-skinned.
• Stop if you find a hot, weepy or scabbed patch and get it looked at rather than brushing over it.
• A matted coat that has gone solid against the skin is a clipping job for a groomer, not a brushing job.
• Not a children's toy. Keep it with the pet's things.
