From muddy paws to matted fur, grooming is part of everyday life for pet owners — but have you ever thought about what’s in the tools you’re using?
Most conventional pet brushes are made with plastic handles and synthetic fibres, which don’t just wear out quickly — they also shed microplastics and contribute to long-term environmental waste. Thankfully, there’s a better way.
Switching to natural grooming brushes isn’t just good for the planet — it’s also better for your pet’s coat, comfort, and health.
The Problem with Plastic Pet Brushes
Let’s start with what’s wrong:
-
Microplastics: As synthetic fibres degrade, they can break down into microplastics that enter our water systems and affect wildlife.
-
Short lifespan: Plastic tools often break, bend, or degrade quickly, especially under regular use.
-
Static and discomfort: Synthetic brushes can create static, tug at fur, and irritate sensitive skin — especially in pets with longer coats or allergies.
For conscious pet owners, these issues aren’t just frustrating — they’re a sign it’s time to make a change.
Why Natural Brushes Are Better
At Natural by Hillbrush, we believe in grooming that’s kinder — to your pet and to the planet. Our plastic-free pet brushes are handcrafted using FSC® certified beechwood and gentle, natural fibres such as light natural bristle and horsehair.
Here’s why they make a difference:
Better for Coat Health
Natural fibres glide smoothly through fur without pulling or snagging. They help distribute natural oils for a healthier, shinier coat and are perfect for daily use, even on sensitive skin.
Plastic-Free and Biodegradable
Unlike synthetic brushes, ours contain no plastic parts, making them completely compostable at the end of their long life. It’s zero-waste grooming that feels good in every way.
Built to Last
Our durable, beautifully crafted wooden brushes are designed to go the distance — with proper care, they’ll last for years. That’s less landfill, less replacing, and more value.
Gentle Grooming, Naturally
Whether you're brushing a long-haired retriever or a short-coated tabby, our brushes offer a soothing grooming experience that pets genuinely enjoy. The soft grooming brush is ideal for regular maintenance, while the ergonomic handled brush gives you better control for detangling and touch-ups.
Plus, they look good too — minimal, timeless, and made to sit proudly on your shelf instead of being hidden away.
