If you're grooming dogs and cats for a living, a deshedding brush can be the tool that decides how long the job will take, and how your hands feel by the end of the day. The right brush matters for anyone with a shedding pet, but finding the best deshedding brush for groomers matters even more when you’re doing back-to-back grooms, on different coat types every single day.
We asked the people who'd know best: professional groomers who've put the Refuresh brush to work in salons, day after day. As Alicia Fragiadakis, an International Master Groomer, puts it, Refuresh is "the easiest, quickest, most efficient way to take out a dog's dead coat."
What professional groomers are saying
Arkie Johnstone, master dog groomer and owner of Trinkets Grooming Studio, uses Refuresh and says it's great for clearing bulk coat off terriers, and is just as handy for owners to use between grooms.
Sophie Infield, representing Groom Team Australia and owner of The Pup Spa, calls it a must-have for debulking overgrown coats quickly without damaging them, and says the ergonomic handle is the reason her hands don't ache even after a full day of deshedding.
Zoe Hogg, salon owner at Pawfection Grooming Salon, has used Refuresh on corgis, cocker spaniels and cavoodles, and is now looking at buying more for her salon and trying it on other breeds.
Narelle Spencer, President of Cats Australia and a 27-year veterinary professional, replaced the brushes in her home with the Refuresh deshedding brush, and uses it for stripping on both cats and dogs.
Sarah Warner, a cat groomer with 22 years in the industry, raises a common problem for professional groomers: repetitive strain injuries that push people out of the trade early. Having dealt with wrist issues herself, she says Refuresh's lightweight build, angled head and one-touch cleaning mechanism were designed with groomers' long-term wellbeing in mind, not just the pets.
Why it works across coat types
The Refuresh brush is versatile. Professional groomers have used Refuresh across a wide range of coat types and a brush that performs well across all of them is doing something right. Refuresh's Double C and L-shaped tooth structure reaches into the undercoat to remove loose, dead hair without cutting or tugging the topcoat.

FAQs
What makes a deshedding brush good for professional use, not just home grooming?
Durability under daily use, comfort over long sessions, and consistent performance across coat types, these are the qualities that separate the best deshedding brush for groomers from an average brush. A tool that works well once but leaves your hands aching after four hours isn't built for salon work.
Is the Refuresh brush suitable for both dogs and cats?
Absolutely. It's used across all different coat types and breeds including golden retrievers, rottweilers, beagles, dachshunds, and pugs, as well as in professional cat grooming and veterinary settings.
Do you offer deshedding brushes at wholesale or reseller pricing for grooming salons?
Yes, we work with grooming salons and pet professionals through our reseller and wholesale program, so if you're looking to stock Refuresh brushes for your salon, get in touch about wholesale options.
