High Voltage Pet Brush Kills Fleas, Ticks, Pets

Call me crazy, but using a “High Voltage” pet brush doesn’t seem like the safest thing to be using on Fido. Although, the manufacturers claim it can kill fleas and ticks with extreme prejudice.


Naturally, crazy Chinese products like this need to be approached with caution—because it could very well kill Fido with extreme prejudice. I’ll bet this thing will be repackaged in a few years as a way to stimulate hair growth in humans. Just wait and see. [Alibaba via BaxterBoo via CNET]

    it runs on 2 little batteries, ie. 3 Volts at low Ampage – hardly “high” voltage for a cat weighing anything from 500 grams to 5000 grams or so, but compared to a 2mm flea weighing less than one single itty bitty gram is “relatively” high. A 9 volt battery on your tounge will tingle. 3 volts on a cat will do nothing. 3 volts on a flea – zap!
