  Anybody out there have a Zoom Groom? I heard it was good for rabbits, bought one from my vet’s, and I have to say it sure does get a lot more hair out than the regular slicker brush. BUT the hair doesn’t stay on the brush, it flys everywhere! Anyone else have this problem and any ideas to solve it??

  Sarita mentioned that the zoom groom was good, so I went out and got one. I think they are excellent.

  Yes, dampen the brush and see if that works. You don’t want it soaking, just damp. Also good damp for removing fur from your clothes.

  I don’t particularly like it. It does get hair but it does fly everywhere. And I can’t use it on Edson’s tummy. He hates it. The teeth are too wide apart to do much actual grooming. My opinion only. I know others like it a lot.

  i have a small brush with lots of bristles all close together, it is perfect for the job and gets right into those inner layers of fur!

  I use a zoom groom for my bunns but I use the cat one. The one pictured above is the dog one. The cat one is slightly smaller and the rubber teeth are closer together.
  
  And yes, dampening it helps keep the fur from flying. Rinse it under some water, wipe off excess on a towel and the moisture left in between the teeth is just enough to help the fur stick to the zoom groom.

  I also use the cat one, with 4 cats and all the rabbits is works well. I have hair all over the place, It’s embarrassing when I go out and I have hair all over me. I will have to try dampening it like Sarita said.

  oh yea the one I have is actually the cat one too. Dampening it makes it work a lot better, however it is really hard now to get the hair off and not sticking to me lol.
