We are in the shedding season, as all pet owners are painfully aware of, and Moon has hair coming off of him just walking through the house. I vacuum daily, lint roll the sofa daily, shake out the top sheet on the comforter and had been brushing him with a curry type round brush which has been fairly useless. Nothing helped. But, then, I researched grooming tools, read reviews and looked at different manufacturers online to see what the best purchase would be. And, boy, did I find it!! Hands down, Safari products are superb and these two items together, within two days of grooming, has helped considerably. Mountains of hair effectively, painlessly and quickly was removed as promised. Soooo easy to use and ergonomically comfortable in my hands. Happy to report that at least 80% of the shedding problem has disappeared!! Labs always have a little bit of shedding due to their double coats. On the positive side, that's what makes them all mushy and gushy when you hug them! Lol. I always follow up our brushing session with a wet moist hand towel that's been infused with a little bit of Lavender Essential oil or Tea Tree if you're going to go outside and play ... great insect repellent. Lucky for Moon, I'm a massage therapist so I have lots of goodies at my disposal that enhance his spa time! Best of all, Moon finds it enjoyable and I'm beyond happy. One thing though. When using the slicker brush, please be gentle. The wires are sharp which my fingertips discovered as I removed hair on the first pass through. Had forgotten about the self-cleaning button on the back. Haha. That's okay because I became aware of what he would feel if I were to press too hard on him. Not good. So, no need to dig into their skin or anything, just easily glide it over their topcoat .. all the loose hair and dander comes right off and stays put in the wires until you remove it. I was going to take him to the groomer for the deshedding treatments that they have but it is not necessary now. Safari is way less costly than the Furminator brand and I heard that their de shedder tool causes discomfort as it rips the hair out. What the heck?! Anyways, at the end of the day all that matters is I'm thrilled and Moon is clean and looking great! Review: Works great for thick, puffy fur. Self-cleaning feature saves tons of time. - This is such a cool brush! It pulls out loose undercoat nicely and the release button works perfectly. I've had the brush for a long time and it still works great – the plastic has not broken nor have the pins rusted. I can't imagine using a slicker brush without a self-cleaning feature ever again. So easy to use, just push the button and the fur falls out in one giant sheet. I got the large and it's a dark forest green color. Unless you have a teeny tiny dog, I would suggest getting the large, as it has more surface area and will make the brushing go faster. This brush works best on animals with long or puffy fur. I would not use it on short or sleek fur. Even if the animal sheds a lot, this is not the brush for them. That being said, it only really worked on one of my dogs – the one with frizzy, puffy fur. My other dog has thick but sleek fur that is closer to the body, and it doesn't work on her. It just won't pull the fur out and it actually would probably cut her skin if I continued to use it on her. The reason it works best on long, puffy, textured fur is because the little needle bristles need some texture to stick to in order to pull the fur out. Another reason you want to use it on that type of coat is so you are brushing the FUR and not the SKIN. If you try and brush thin or sleek fur, you risk hurting your pet. Also, always be careful brushing bellies where the fur is thinner! Brush gently, these pins are sharp and can make your pet bleed. If used correctly, it's a great brush. Overall, this is a very useful grooming tool and I would definitely recommend it, provided that your pet has the appropriate fur type for this brush. ## Features - Self-Cleaning Dog Brush: Remove hair from the retractable wire brush pins with a push of a button - Dog Brush for Shedding: Stainless steel pins reduce dog shedding to keep your dog and house clean - Gentle Cleaning: Stainless steel pins ensure that your dog grooming kit doesn't irritate the skin - Grooming Comb: This brush for short or long hair has a comfort-grip handle for a sure grip - Coastal Pet Cares: We design and deliver quality products that people trust for the pets they love ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000YIWVA0 | | ASIN | B000YIWVA0 | | Additional Features | Self Cleaning | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,587 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #177 in Dog Brushes | | Brand Name | Coastal | | Bristle Material | Stainless Steel | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,489) | | Date First Available | February 12, 2007 | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00076484741043 | | Hair Type | All | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | Brush | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8"L x 4.5"W x 8"H | | Item Shape | Oblong | | Item Type Name | Brush | | Item Weight | 5.4 Ounces | | Item model number | W418 | | Manufacturer | Coastal Pet Products | | Manufacturer | Coastal Pet Products | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Cleaning, Detangle, Grooming | | Product Dimensions | 2.25 x 6.25 x 10.5 inches; 5.4 ounces | | UPC | 076484741043 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | Warranty Description | Quality guaranteed | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Coastal - **Bristle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Color:** Green - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel - **Shape:** Oblong ## Images ![Coastal Pet Safari Dog Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush - Dog Deshedding Brush - Prevents Mats and Tangled Hair - For Dogs with Short or Long Hair - Large - 8" x 4.5" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G3C4JCMUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A LIFE CHANGER! *by L***. on September 23, 2017* This slicker brush coupled with the Safari deshedder tool has worked miracles of my beautiful yellow lab, Moon.

Although you'll still get a few stray hairs flying away as you brush, most of the pesky hair gets trapped at the bottom of the teeth, the slicker brush collects and removes fur really well. And it's easily cleaned by pressing the back button. The bottom lifts up and pushes the hair up and off of the teeth and into the trash making clean-up less than 2-seconds. The SAFARI SLICKER feels nice and comfortable in the hand and makes quick work of grooming your furry kid's hair. One piece of advice for puppy parents who have a youngster under 6-months of age: start with one of the PetZoom Self Cleaning Grooming Brush, 2-Pack . Those brushes have balls on the tips, so it doesn't scratch the pup's sensitive skin while brushing, and even though it doesn't remove as much hair as SAFARI SLICKER it's self-cleaning and your pup won't be scared of it. I didn't know this and bought the SAFARI SLICKER first and my Shiba puppy, who was about 10-weeks old when I gave her the first brushing, HATED the Safari Slicker Brush. After the first time, she would run when she saw me take it out and wouldn't stop fidgeting while I brushed her. She didn't even want treats! I came to Amazon and looked for something else, which led me to the PetZoom Brush, and that one she handled with no problem from the very first use. I guess the balls on the teeth didn't hurt or scratch like the teeth on this one -- even though I was hardly using any pressure with the Safari Brush -- which is why she didn't mind getting brushed. As she got older, she's now 8-months as of this writing, I decided to go back to the SAFARI BRUSH to remove more hair right before a bath, and to my surprise she didn't fidget or try and run from it. She did look at it with distrust at first, but when I used it she didn't mind at all. This was sometime around the 6-month mark, so I think her skin toughened up or matured. Now I use it for every brushing and she doesn't mind at all. ## Frequently Bought Together - Coastal Pet Safari Dog Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush - Dog Deshedding Brush - Prevents Mats and Tangled Hair - For Dogs with Short or Long Hair - Large - 8" x 4.5" - Coastal Pet Safari Dog De-Matting Comb - Serrated Stainless Steel Grooming Tool for Dogs with Medium to Long Hair - Keeps Coats Smooth & Soft - One Size - Groomer's Edge Ultimate Pet Shampoo | Deep Cleans and Conditions Dogs, Cats, Puppies, Kittens, Horses, Cattle | 16 ounce bottle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1707022-coastal-pet-safari-dog-self-cleaning-slicker-brush-dog-deshedding](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1707022-coastal-pet-safari-dog-self-cleaning-slicker-brush-dog-deshedding) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
