SAFARI - Self Cleaning Slicker Brush
Description
TL;DR: The SAFARI Self Cleaning Slicker Brush is a retractable-bristle grooming tool that lifts loose fur, tangles, and dander from short, medium, and long-haired coats. A single button press pulls the bristles back so collected hair wipes away cleanly — ideal for cat owners who want a quick, tidy daily grooming routine.
Regular brushing helps reduce shedding around the home and keeps your cat's coat smoother between baths. The SAFARI self cleaning slicker brush pairs fine stainless-steel bristles with a retractable mechanism, so you can groom and empty the brush in seconds.

Who is it for?
This brush is built for cat owners who want a low-mess grooming tool that works across coat types. It is equally useful for short-haired cats that shed year-round and longer-haired cats prone to light matting. While positioned as the safari self cleaning slicker brush for cats, the same retractable design also makes it a practical safari self cleaning slicker brush for dogs with similar coat needs.
Feeding & use
Brush in the direction of hair growth using light, even strokes, and work in short sections rather than pulling through tangles. When the bristles fill with fur, press the button to retract them, wipe the hair away, and continue.
Short-haired cats generally do well with one or two sessions per week, while medium and long-haired cats benefit from brief daily passes to prevent tangles. Keep sessions short and positive — a few minutes is enough to see results.
How does it compare with other grooming tools?
If you are shopping across coat types or multi-pet households, you may also like the Riley & Rex - Self-Cleaning Pet Slicker Brush for a similar retractable design, the FURminator - DeShedding Tool Short Hair Cats for heavier undercoat removal, or the Riley & Rex - Non-Slip Handle Slicker Brush for smaller hands and smaller pets.
Available for same-day pickup at our North York, Toronto storefront, or ships Canada-wide.
