looking for some advice with an older persian, she's almost 9 now
she's always been scrawny and has never had the best of coat.
she's losing a lot of undercoat at the moment (hoping hot weather realted)
and keeping on top of it with current brush (old mini one of mine lol) aint working
what brushes would everyone recommend?

i love the wire pet brushes as you get so much out and everything just looks sooooooooo fluffy lol

i did look for a bead headed slicker but just couldn't find on, dont want to use the ones with the sharpish ends

ooh i likethe sharpies the best my old longhairs and persians used to love to be brushed with them , ooooooh and if you have hair on the carpet that wont lift use one of them oval rubber horse grooming brushes works a treat

i use a retractable rake type brush,which gets down to the undercoat really well and removes tangles instantly,zoom grooms are good for removing loose hair and massaging and slickers(pin head brushes)are good for removing hair/tangles,finishing brush.

Hi Clare, do you have any links for the retractable rake type brush so I can see what you mean? I may have one already amongst my multitude of stuff, but never heard of one called this. Don't want to think I've missed out on something different. A link with a piccie would be brill. Cheers. C.x.

I used to have two persians.. And when summer time came we'd get them shaved.. They called it the "lion cut".. Where they kept the main, and the last bit of their tail.. and their feet

My kittys seemed to love the fresh air..

But otherwise.. For brushing i'd use those wired brushes.

No links im afraid,got it from local petshop,cant even remember what i paid for it!each prong will retract with pressure,rally good for tangles,and they like it to

Hey thanks Clare, I like the look of that! I have a comb with rotating teeth, and a comb with different length teeth, but I aint got one of them Gotta gotta have one now
