The AstroPet pet hairbrush with UV lamp can help you to take your pet's coat care to a new level and detect fungal infestation at an early stage. When we talk about fungal infestation in the fur of pets, we usually mean the bacterium Microsporum canis. This bacterium mainly affects cats and dogs, but can also spread to humans. Infected skin areas are red and itchy - so they are very unpleasant for your beloved four-legged friends. The AstroPet pet hairbrush with UV lamp enables you to detect this fungal infestation and then take targeted countermeasures. How does the brush work?Our brush comes with two different attachments - a de-matting comb and a pinstripe comb, which can be mounted on the handle and exchanged.Mount one of the attachments on the handle (it must be loaded beforehand). This is very easy with a twist mechanism.Activate the UV lamp at the end of the brush. Make sure that the examination takes place in a darker room to improve the visibility of the UV rays.If a Microsporum canis infection is present, a greenish fluorescence will appear on the hair shafts.If a greenish fluorescence is detected, this does not always immediately mean a fungal infection and is not a definitive finding. Dander or residues of certain soaps or medications can also glow slightly under UV light. So if you discover fluorescent areas with the AstroPet pet hairbrush with UV lamp, use them as a reference to consult a vet who can prescribe suitable treatment. This way you can soon cuddle your pets again without any worries.
