PRO One pad type on both sides – for one clearly defined grooming task.
Every ActiVet brush comes in 4.5 cm (dogs under 40 cm shoulder height) and 9 cm (from 40 cm). PRO, DUO & widths explained →
The ActiVet Pro Blue Zapper was developed specifically for the regular care of very dense short to medium-length double coats and clipped curly coats that tend to mat and tangle. It keeps the coat well groomed and reliably helps to prevent mats.
The very flexible brush head adapts perfectly to the body's contours and glides effortlessly through the coat. The strong, straight wire pins penetrate deep into dense undercoat and curly coats and gently remove loose hair before mats can form.
The 4.5 cm version is recommended for dogs under 40 cm shoulder height, the 9 cm version for dogs from 40 cm shoulder height (measured without the head).
– made in Germany since 1998

Frequently asked questions
What is the ActiVet method?
The ActiVet method combines three things: ① the flexible head, which gives way as you brush, springs back and follows the coat; ② the 2-step system of pre-brushing and finishing; and ③ colour = function – six pad types, each colour one task. Every brush comes in 4.5 and 9 cm.
What is the ActiVet 2-step system?
Most coat types need two brushing steps. Step 1 – pre-brushing: the coat is thoroughly detangled, the undercoat loosened, mats and knots gently worked out and curly coats opened up. Step 2 – finishing: a finer wire pad removes loose hair and cares for the top coat. ActiVet DUO brushes combine both steps in one brush – just turn it over.
Which sides do the four DUO brushes have?
- DUO Red + Silver (Undercoater): loosen knots, then brush out undercoat.
- DUO Red + Purple (Tuffzappercoater): loosen knots and firm all-round care.
- DUO Purple + Silver (Tufffinishcoater): firm all-round care and finishing.
- DUO Green + Gold (Silcoater): gentle all-round care and a soft finish.
What is the difference between PRO and DUO?
PRO brushes have the same pad type on both sides – for one clearly defined task. DUO brushes combine two different pad types, usually pre-brushing and finishing: you switch function by turning the brush over.
4.5 cm or 9 cm – which width do I need?
For dogs from 40 cm shoulder height (measured without the head) the 9 cm brush, for smaller dogs the 4.5 cm brush. The 4.5 cm also suits hard-to-reach areas on large dogs. Every ActiVet brush comes in both widths.
How do I brush correctly with ActiVet?
Light hand, straight wrist, controlled movement: don't press on the brush – let the flexible head give way. The pad lies flat on the coat. Brush towards you in straight lines – without a chopping motion – and work through dense coats layer by layer.
What should I do about heavy matting?
Red is made for individual knots and mats – with a light hand and in small sections. Large or close-to-the-skin mats should first be assessed by an experienced groomer. Not every mat can sensibly be brushed out.
Why is the brush head flexible?
The ActiVet head flexes as you brush and returns to its original position. That way it follows the coat and the body's shape instead of pressing against it. The design goes back to the principle developed by MONTI; how much the head gives way differs by pad type.
How do I clean my ActiVet brush?
Remove hair after each use. If needed, clean with warm water and mild soap and let it dry thoroughly.
