  • Publication number: 20150257361
    Abstract: A pet grooming device for the removal of shedding and/or loose using static electricity is provided. One or more posts are attached to a base at various adjustable positions. Dense brushes are disposed over the one or more posts. The brushes are made of a material having a tendency to attract large numbers of electrons and hold a negative static charge. As a pet rubs itself against the posts, the pet's hair becomes positively charged. The hair is attracted to the negatively charged brush and adheres to the brush. In some embodiments, the pet may be attracted to the brushes using treats, toys, and/or catnip.
