GOOD TO KNOW

FAQs

Can this replace a slicker brush?

Pet tawashi is a natural-fibre brush for gentle brushing and everyday contact. A slicker brush serves different coat-care needs. Select tools for your pet’s coat and comfort; this brush is not presented as a universal replacement for detangling or undercoat tools.

Which soft cat brush should I choose?

Cat A and Cat B use sisal fibres; Cat C combines sisal with shuro palm fibre. Compare shape, size and materials on the product pages. Start with light pressure and short sessions, and stop if your cat appears uncomfortable.

Is this a natural bristle dog brush?

The brushing fibres are plant-based shuro palm fibre and/or sisal, depending on the model. They are not animal bristles. Stainless steel forms part of the structure, and some models have a beech handle. See each SKU for its full material list.

How do I clean my pet grooming brush?

Remove trapped hair after brushing. Rinse as needed, drain well and air-dry completely in a ventilated place. Avoid prolonged soaking and store only when dry. Check the brush for damage before use.

Can H&K supply pet brushes wholesale?

Yes. H&K handles product enquiries for retailers, importers and distributors. As your pet grooming brush supplier in Japan, we confirm wholesale pricing, sample arrangements, MOQ and lead times with the maker for your request.
