Newest Review: ... prefer this one as it is more effective at getting dead hair out of my dogs coats and it also has a handle (unlike the more ... more

 ... expensive one) so it is easy to hold. The brush has long metal pins on one side which go deep into the dogs fur, clearing all the layers of dead hair and they're also great at detangling the fur when it is coated in dry mud etc. The pins have got little plastic balls on the end meaning that if they make contact with the dogs skin they will not hurt and they also help stimulate the dogs' blood flow apparently. The other side has lots of soft but durable bristles. I find this side best for fussing my dogs with rather ...more

INTRODUCTION Being the proud owner of two rather large dogs and a moulting cat, grooming it part of my everyday life, I can spend hours brushing and de-matting the animals to get rid of any excess hair that seems to gather up in every space possible. I have to hoover on a daily basis as they all shed hair, so I am always on the look out for new grooming tools to help limit the amount of hair that always seems to blanket my carpets. This Ancol Ergo double sided brush is a grooming brush that I have had for a few years, but as my cat is getting really old her fur is coming out in clumps I needed to take action as her hair was becoming worse ...  Read the complete review

When we brought our dog, we made a list of all the essential items we would need, then scoured the internet for them to try and find the cheapest we could. One item on our list was a dog brush to keep her coat in a good condition. I found a double sided brush on Amazon at a reasonable price so decided to go for this one. The brush I purchased was from the Ancol Erco range, which isn't a range I had previously heard of, but I liked the look of the brush so purchased it anyway. There were cheaper brushes available, but this one was double sided as previously mentioned, which means that it has one side which is completely bristled, and the other side has what I ...  Read the complete review

All of my dogs moult a lot, especially my husky and chocolate labrador so I make sure that they are brushed regularly to get rid of any dead hair as it can be quite itchy for dogs when they moult. I also find it important to brush them regularly because we usually end up with clumps of hair all over the living room floor if we don't. Brushing them regularly doesn't completely solve this problem but when they do moult a lot less hair comes out which saves me from spending ages sweeping up!! I've got two different dog brushes - one fancy one which is specially shaped and one basic one - this one - which is a simple double sided brush. I definitely prefer this ...  Read the complete review

My dog Chloe is a Border Collie and seems to have so much dead hair falling out of her in the run up to summer that I need to groom her every day to keep my carpets from becoming mini dogs. This lessens in the winter months but she still requires a brush. I bought my latest brush from the local pet shop for around £4.00 and I think this is a reasonable price. The brush itself is two sided, with bristles on one side and pins on the other. The pin side is the one I use most often as they get right down into her fur and brush her for the entire length and depth or her coat. The pins are long enough to reach under the glossy top coat and untangle the ...  Read the complete review

We actually have one of these and have had for a while, one side has bristles on it which are quite soft but very close together to smooth the hair off and the other side has prongs with little bobbles on the end like a hairbrush and it works more to massage the skin. I use the bobbly side first on my 2 cats and they love the massaging effect so it gets them in the mood for more brushing. Then I switch to the other side and brush them to take off loose hairs. I have to say they adore the bristle side and even like to rub their little cheeks on it, it's considered a great fuss tool in our house! It's very gentle and does take off a small amount of hair but ...  Read the complete review
