The details
A slicker brush is the standard tool for working loose undercoat fur out of a dog or cat's top coat, and this version adds one change that makes clean-up faster: press the button on the handle and the fine wire bristles retract into the brush head, releasing the gathered fur in one motion instead of pulling it out strand by strand by hand.
Brushing itself works the same way as any slicker brush — short, gentle strokes in the direction of the coat, working through one section at a time rather than pressing hard in one spot. Once the head is full, hold it over a bin, press the button, and the fur drops free so the bristles are clear for the next section.
Expect a plastic handle with a sprung release button and a brush head lined with fine, slightly bent wire bristles designed to catch loose undercoat without scratching skin when used with a light hand. It suits most coat types but works especially well on double-coated breeds that shed heavily through the year. Wipe the head clean between sessions rather than soaking it, since the release mechanism is a moving part.
This suits anyone brushing a shedding dog or cat regularly who is tired of picking loose fur off the bristles by hand after every session.

Good to know
How does the self-cleaning button work?
Pressing the button on the handle retracts the wire bristles back into the head, releasing the gathered fur in one motion. Hold it over a bin before pressing.
Is it safe on sensitive skin?
Used with light, short strokes in the direction of the coat, it's designed for regular use on most coat types. Press harder only where the coat is thicker, and go gently over bony areas.
Which coat types does it suit?
It works on most coats but is especially effective on double-coated breeds that shed a heavy undercoat, where a slicker brush is generally the recommended tool.
Can I wash it?
Wipe the bristle head clean rather than submerging it, since the retracting mechanism is a moving part that's better kept dry.
