    We Tried It: Tangle Teezer Pet Brushes

    Tangle Teezer’s Ultimate Detangler is one of our favorite brushes for humans. Are the brand's pet hairbrushes just as good?

    With my own cat at home, I’m constantly picking hair off everything—hard and soft surfaces alike. I find that when I skip brushing my cat’s hair for too many days in a row, Frank leaves more of it behind on his favorite nap spot (the couch) and I have to spend more time lint-rolling my clothes before I go out.

    For this reason, I try to keep to a daily brushing schedule most of the time.

    Dog owners know that regular brushing in between grooming appointments is important to keep their pet’s hair from becoming matted. This not only makes the appointment go a lot smoother but also keeps dogs looking picture-perfect. The same can be true for cats.

    But not all pet brushes are alike, and one that works for one fur baby may not work for another. I went through four different brushes before I finally found one that my cat and I liked.

    Some of our four-legged testers were bigger fans of the Tangle Teezer pet brushes than their owners.

    Tangle Teezer, which makes one of the human detangling brushes we recommend, recently released four pet brushes. We bought them (as we buy all of the products we test), sent them home with a few colleagues who have pets, and asked for reports about them.
