This universal pet brush has a curved head that maximises the brushing surface with every pass, so the work goes faster. Among its other features:

• Pins of medium thickness and height designed to untangle and smooth dense or thick coats easily. The result is smooth and even.
• The ergonomic handle gives a comfortable grip and helps reduce effort while brushing, for a more pleasant experience for both the animal and the handler.
• Made with quality, very hard-wearing materials, such as stainless steel and rubber.
• Handmade with eco-friendly materials, such as bamboo. That makes it a sustainable, environmentally respectful choice.
• It comes in recyclable cardboard packaging, which is durable and helps reduce plastic waste.

How to use the Artero Rufus slicker brush

We recommend using the curved-head slicker as follows:

• Hold the brush by the handle and place the pins on the animal's coat, keeping gentle, steady pressure.
• Slide the pins gently towards the handle along the animal's hair, avoiding sharp pulls that could cause discomfort.
• Make repeated back-and-forth movements and work in sections, to be sure the whole coat is covered evenly.
• Always start by combing with the hair, then move on to brushing against the hair to stretch and untangle it further. Pay attention to the areas most prone to matting.
• If hair builds up between the pins, remove it with your hands or a comb, to keep the brushing effective and stop the pins clogging.

Looking after your curved-head slicker brush

These pet accessories need care if they are to last. Here is how to go about it:

- After each use, clean the brush with a soft, damp cloth to remove hair and dirt. Make sure it is completely dry before putting it away.
- Periodically apply a small amount of lubricant or specialised oil to the moving parts, such as the pin mechanism, to keep it working smoothly and prevent premature wear.
- Keep the brush in a dry, well-ventilated place to avoid moisture building up, which could damage the bamboo and the stainless steel.
- Avoid prolonged contact with water and direct exposure to sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the materials and extend the working life of the slicker.
