The reason a groomer’s salon is not knee deep in hair is that they work on a damp coat. Dry brushing sends undercoat into the air and across the room; a slightly damp coat lets the hair stay on the brush. This is that idea in a household tool, and on a heavy shedder it makes a visible difference to the mess.
Key Benefits
- Dampens as it brushes, so loose hair stays on the brush not in the air
- Collects shed hair in a chamber rather than dropping it
- Massage function that most dogs settle into
- One-button release for emptying the hair
Best For
- Heavy shedders during spring and autumn moults
- Brushing indoors without covering the room in hair
- Dogs that dislike being brushed and tolerate massage better
How It Works
A small reservoir releases a fine mist at the base of the bristles. Damp hair clumps instead of floating, so it comes away with the brush and lands in the collection chamber rather than on the sofa.
Pros and Cons
Pros: The dampening genuinely works and is the reason to buy it. Emptying the chamber is far less unpleasant than picking hair out of a slicker.
Cons: The reservoir is small and needs refilling constantly on a big dog. It is a finishing and de-shedding tool, not a dematting one — taking it to an existing mat will hurt, and wetting a mat makes it tighter. Cheap units leak from the reservoir seal, so fill it over a sink the first time. And it is another thing to dry out after use or it grows mould inside.
Things to Consider
- Never use it on an existing mat; damp tightens mats
- Empty and dry the reservoir after every use
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
