Louie and I love the Coat Hook! I can’t believe how much fur I can comb out, and he has a lot of fur! He’s in heaven when I comb him.

“The CoatHook is working very well for Mushu! He grooms himself more now that he’s no longer a kitten, so his hairball hurling has become more frequent. He’s a very hairy guy! He never much liked the old wire brush, and it didn’t pick up much anyway. The CoatHook is able to grab way more undercoat, and he seems to like it more and more as we use it. We catch him when he’s in a subdued grooming mood, and he purrs and mews like a kitten. His hairball frequency is much better, and he might even look a bit slimmer!”

Scoot — the orange long-haired feral cat who loves being combed with the CoatHook Pet Comb

"We’ve been using the CoatHook on Scoot for the past few weeks, and he absolutely loves it — and I love that he hasn’t had a fur ball in that time!"

"Bear in mind that he is from a feral colony and isn’t always approachable. We still are unable to pick him up for instance. He gets so relaxed when we brush him now that he actually rolls over so we can get to his belly."

"We had been using a Furminator for cats and a traditional brush, neither of which worked for him. The traditional brush makes that hollow sound which seems to scare him. The amount of fur that would come off of him was minimal. With the Furminator, it always felt like only the top layer of fur went through the brush and it was very ineffective. It felt like we were cutting the top layer."

"I wasn’t sure how Scoot would respond to the CoatHook, since it does catch a bit as we brush him. For a cat who easily gets sensory overload, we weren’t sure how it would work in the long run. He just loves it and starts doing his relaxation drool when he sees the brush appear."

"Thanks again for the brush — it’s a great product."

— CR, Maine, USA

“This pile of fur is from the second round of combing my 17-year-old, Katy. We get that much every day! She thinks our only job is to brush and comb her, so she really loves the new comb. Her sister Madison loves it, too. Never had anything work like The CoatHook. I’ve raved to every pet owner I know about it. I’ve never been more impressed with a pet product than this comb!"

— N.H., Texas, USA

“The CoatHook works great on Cinder. I’ve removed tons of fur with it. Someone told me she’s either part or full Norwegian Forest cat. I adopted her the day before our big February snowstorm. I went out shopping knowing I’d be snowed in the next day and, on a whim, found myself at PetSmart. Well, there she was, a mangy looking kitty in one of Kennebec Valley Humane Society’s kitty condos. I walked up to the glass to talk to her. When she sniffed my hand through the small holes in the plexiglass, she started pawing at the glass, and the rest is history. Best decision ever! She cries to be picked up and is a hugger. ❤”

— K.E., Maine, USA

“Shiva and I love our CoatHook! It was a lifesaver at clearing out her winter undercoat. She would roll onto her back just to let me brush her fluffy belly. I'm gifting the extra CoatHook you sent to a friend who also has a long-haired cat. I really think they'll love it as much as Shiva and I do.”

— J.L., Illinois, USA


Big Mike the feral cat loves being groomed with the CoatHook

“Big Mike, the feral cat, is hard to video because he’s always head butting my hands, but he loves to be ‘CoatHooked’ and purrs up a storm.

This is a cat who’s never been groomed in his whole life, yet he loves The CoatHook.”

— N.M., Maine, USA

“I already removed a giant fistful of fur off one cat, Gus, with just a preliminary pass! First run through. I should've taken before pics. The fur we removed is covering about a legal pad area. We probably got twice that over the course of the evening. Gus is a work in progress, but his front half is completely detangled and starting to look better. Comb works great! Mittens feels soooo soft again!”

— T.R., Maine, USA


“I love the CoatHook! It works great, and it’s made in the USA! I was watching my mother-in-law’s cat, Easy, while she was away, and she’s always used an old slicker brush that has thin, sharp, metal teeth and is basically useless. So, I took the opportunity to order a CoatHook as a surprise and put it to work immediately so I could show her the results when she got back. Easy really enjoys the CoatHook. It runs smoothly through his coat and picks up all the shedding hair. I also really appreciate the founders’ heartfelt mission to give back to animal rescue centers and shelters across the country.”

— P.K., New York, USA


“I just want to tell you how much I like the CoatHook! I received it yesterday — the delivery time was super fast. I used it last night on my cat, and it worked really well.

Mikey the Norwegian Forest Cat

My Norwegian Forest Cat, Mikey, has a very thick undercoat plus a top coat that is quite long, and the CoatHook went through his fur very easily. He seemed less stressed when I was using it, too, which is always nice for both of us!

The CoatHook is probably the best grooming tool I have purchased thus far, and trust me, I have purchased many in my many years of pet ownership!

The other nice thing about this product is the donation you’ll make to Granite State Dog Recovery. I just love that organization and all they do for any lost animal and their owners. They are definitely angels on earth in my opinion!

Also, the personal time and effort you put into the sale of your product is a really nice thing. Your acknowledgement email and the accompanying personal note sent with the CoatHook is that extra step that makes the entire experience even more pleasurable.”

long-haired shelter cat

“So happy with this product! I volunteer at HART cat shelter and adoption center, and I admit I was skeptical when I first saw it there. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and how unfazed most of the cats were when being groomed with it. I am a true believer and will recommend it to adopters at HART!”

— C.B., Adoption coordinator with HART, Maine, USA


short-haired cat

“I received the CoatHook and tried it out on my cat, Rainy, last night. She usually will not sit still for a brush, but she sat still longer than usual, and I was very happy with the hair that was removed. Great invention and glad it was in the Forecaster.”

— P.G., Maine, USA 


Scottish fold cat

“The CoatHook is the only product among others that we’ve tried that actually works. We — my Scottish fold, Bonya, and orange tabby, Roma — are very happy with this purchase. Great product, guys!

orange tabby cat

Since you have a patent on the CoatHook, it is gonna be a big thing because there is nothing even close on the market. Excellent job folks.”

— O.Z., Alberta, Canada


orange tabby cat

“I am pretty impressed with how well the CoatHook works! I have two cats: Nicky has a sleek coat, and Flan has a slightly thicker coat. Neither is long-haired, and neither technically has an undercoat. The CoatHook works phenomenally on both types of fur, and both cats dig their CoatHook!

tabby cat

“The hooks reminded me of something that I couldn’t place; then I realized it reminded me of a cat’s tongue...and both of my cats seemed to not only tolerate being brushed by the CoatHook, but actually enjoy it (for a time, at least; they’re cats, after all). It’s the first brush I’ve found that they’ll sit still for for any length of time.”

— A.M., North Carolina, USA


long-haired cat

“My long-haired cat, Matthew, is in absolute heaven getting groomed with the CoatHook. He LOVES it. When he sees me with it, he comes running to me, meowing, and he doesn’t stop until I brush him with it!”

— C.A., Washington, USA


long-haired cat with furball

“We were able to de-tangle and de-shed Washington really well with the CoatHook. He purred while we were grooming him, then he played with the toy that we made by rolling all the fur into a little ball!”

— M.F., Maine, USA


“Wow! I cannot say enough about this tool! Works great, and our cats Monica and Connie LOVE it — our new cat Tom isn’t quite sure yet! If I did not have a CoatHook and didn’t KNOW how good it is, I would think it (the CoatHook’s photo of a mountain of fur on Facebook) was set up!”
