Definitions
- the present invention relates to pet grooming products and more specifically a pet hair brush and/or rake that is designed to minimize discomfort to the pet while their hair is brushed.
- Grooming is a vital part in the well-being and healthiness of a dog which can improve their lifespan. All breeds require daily grooming, how much depends on the breed, age, or health of the pet. Regular grooming helps to ensure the dog is healthy and comfortable. The main reasons for daily grooming include: 1) decreased chance of various skin problems, 2) general cleanliness of the dog, 3) monitoring of the dog's health by checking for cuts, heat, swelling, lameness, or changes in temperament, all of which could be indicative of illness, 4) forging of a closer bond between dog and owner, and 5) reducing infestation load of external parasites on skin.
- Wire form pet brushes (often known as slickers) and rakes are often used to groom dogs and other pets and typically produce the best results. However, these grooming devices can oftentimes inflict harm and or pain upon the animals they are being used to groom. Wire form brushes and rakes come in constant contact with the epidermis layer of the pet's skin during grooming causing pain, irritations, scratches, and even punctures of the epidermis layer of the skin.
- pet grooming devices are often equipped with plastic or metal beads at the extreme ends of the brush wires. These beads help distribute forces over the epidermis of the animal, reducing the discomfort. However, these beads can still create some discomfort in the animal because they are still in constant contact with the epidermis and because the beads can get tangled in the animal's hair, ripping the hair from the animal. Additionally, the plastic beads oftentimes fall off, creating frustration for the consumer.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a pain free grooming apparatus which is more durable than products currently available.
- the pet hair brush of the current invention is comprised of a brush with a handle, head, bristles, and a depth guide.
- the handle, head, and bristles of the pet hair brush are substantially similar to typical pet brushes (slickers and rakes) available today.
- affixed to the head of the brush is a singular depth guide or plurality of guides, which protrude perpendicularly from the head of brush towards the animal.
- the depth guide will protrude from the head of the brush, slightly beyond the tips of the brush bristles.
- the depth guide will function to create a small gap between the end of the epidermis of the animal being groomed and the tips of the brush.
- the effect of the depth guide prevents the tips of the brush bristles from contacting the epidermis of the animal while being groomed. Eliminating contact between the tips of the brush bristles and the epidermis of the animal will prevent the irritation and injury that these bristles can inflict upon the animal during the grooming process.

Abstract
An apparatus for brushing the hair of dogs and other animals. The apparatus comprises a hair brush with a depth guide that prevents the bristles from contacting the epidermis of the animal while its hair is brushed. Preventing the bristles from contacting the epidermis of the animal helps prevent injury and discomfort to the animal during grooming.
Description
- Not Applicable
- The present invention relates to pet grooming products and more specifically a pet hair brush and/or rake that is designed to minimize discomfort to the pet while their hair is brushed.
- Grooming is a vital part in the well-being and healthiness of a dog which can improve their lifespan. All breeds require daily grooming, how much depends on the breed, age, or health of the pet. Regular grooming helps to ensure the dog is healthy and comfortable. The main reasons for daily grooming include: 1) decreased chance of various skin problems, 2) general cleanliness of the dog, 3) monitoring of the dog's health by checking for cuts, heat, swelling, lameness, or changes in temperament, all of which could be indicative of illness, 4) forging of a closer bond between dog and owner, and 5) reducing infestation load of external parasites on skin.
- Wire form pet brushes (often known as slickers) and rakes are often used to groom dogs and other pets and typically produce the best results. However, these grooming devices can oftentimes inflict harm and or pain upon the animals they are being used to groom. Wire form brushes and rakes come in constant contact with the epidermis layer of the pet's skin during grooming causing pain, irritations, scratches, and even punctures of the epidermis layer of the skin.
- In addition to injuring the pets during grooming, the pain that is created by these brushes often leads to a pet resisting grooming, running away from the groomer and requiring the groomer to forcibly restrain the animal so that they can be groomed.
- In order to help alleviate these issues, pet grooming devices are often equipped with plastic or metal beads at the extreme ends of the brush wires. These beads help distribute forces over the epidermis of the animal, reducing the discomfort. However, these beads can still create some discomfort in the animal because they are still in constant contact with the epidermis and because the beads can get tangled in the animal's hair, ripping the hair from the animal. Additionally, the plastic beads oftentimes fall off, creating frustration for the consumer.
- Accordingly, there is a need for an apparatus that is operable to comfortably groom a dog or other pet without contacting the epidermis of the animal during the grooming process, creating pain or discomfort in the animal.
- Additionally, there is a need for an apparatus that is more durable than the apparatuses currently available to comfortably groom dogs or other animals.
- It is the object of the present invention to provide an apparatus that can effectively groom a dog or other pet without inflicting pain upon the animal through the contact of the sharp brush or rake tips against the epidermis of the pet.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a pain free grooming apparatus which is more durable than products currently available.
- The pet hair brush of the current invention is comprised of a brush with a handle, head, bristles, and a depth guide. The handle, head, and bristles of the pet hair brush are substantially similar to typical pet brushes (slickers and rakes) available today. However affixed to the head of the brush is a singular depth guide or plurality of guides, which protrude perpendicularly from the head of brush towards the animal.
- The depth guide will protrude from the head of the brush, slightly beyond the tips of the brush bristles. The depth guide will function to create a small gap between the end of the epidermis of the animal being groomed and the tips of the brush.
- The effect of the depth guide prevents the tips of the brush bristles from contacting the epidermis of the animal while being groomed. Eliminating contact between the tips of the brush bristles and the epidermis of the animal will prevent the irritation and injury that these bristles can inflict upon the animal during the grooming process.
- Additionally, effectively preventing contact between the brush tips and the epidermis eliminates the need for beads at the tips of the bristles, making the brush more durable than its predecessors which utilized beaded bristles to minimize animal discomfort.
- To the accomplishment of the above and related objects the present invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Attention is called to the fact that the drawings are illustrative only. Variations are contemplated as being a part of the present invention, limited only by the scope of the claims.
