"My dogs, Daisy and Cooter [pictured at right], hate to be brushed!" says Maggie Kartheiser, 25, from Traverse City, Mich. “Their fine hair and sensitive skin are agitated by brush bristles."

It was a struggle to keep their coats in good shape. Then one day while Maggie — wearing rubber gloves — was washing her dishes, she bent down to pet her pups. “I couldn’t believe how much stray fur came off! It easily collected on the gloves and was simple to clean up,” she explains.

The best part? "Daisy and Cooter are so happy to be stroked, they have no idea they are being groomed!"
