Description
The Kaytee Pro-Slicker Brush is a grooming brush designed specifically for small animals rather than scaled down from a dog brush. Its pliable plastic teeth work through tangles gently, and soft plastic tips protect the sensitive skin underneath — the reason a stiff wire slicker is the wrong tool for a guinea pig. The curved head follows the shape of a small body and the rubber handle keeps your grip secure while your pet fidgets. Beyond the obvious tidiness, regular brushing adds lustre, reduces shedding around the house and helps prevent hairballs in long-coated animals. It also gives you a few quiet minutes with your pet, which builds the bond that makes handling easier.

Grooming does more than tidy the coat. Running your hands and a brush over your pet every few days is how most owners find lumps, scabs, mites and mats early, while they are still easy to deal with. For long-haired guinea pigs and angora rabbits it is not optional — a coat left alone mats to the skin and needs cutting out. Keep the sessions short and end them before your pet gets restless so brushing stays something they tolerate.
