Les Pooch or Activet brush

The Les Pooch brushes or Activet brush for my dog. Doodlecountrystore.com  does not carry Activet brushes. I could not find them on their site.

I haven't used that site so I'm not sure I can help there but I recently ordered mine (the red and purple large duo) on amazon and even though it isn't a prime item the standard shipping was not expensive and I believe I had the brush within 3 or 4 days of ordering it. Hope this helps!

Activet is the name that Les pooch was selling under when they discontinued them a while back. Its the same brush.

If I understood Kemp at DoodleCountry correctly Activet is the company that was manufacturing the Les Poochs brushes in Germany.  Les Poochs wanted to move production to the US and there were some issues between the two companies.  Activet continued production of the Les Pooch under their name while they, LP,  were moving to the US.  Sort of like a knock off.  I believe there were law suits and things involved between the two companies.  Les Poochs is back up and selling now and Doodle Country has them.

Thanks for the clarification Sheri!

I just came across this post from a while ago and noticed my name mentioned. I just wanted to affirm the information from Lucy & AnnaBelle’s Mom.

The Les Poochs Company has been offering their brushes for about 20 years. Previously the brushes were made in Germany, but they parted ways with that manufacturer due to faulty products. Les Poochs now manufactures their brushes in the USA with strict quality control. Currently the Les Poochs brushes and Mat Zappers are not sold on Amazon, only the knock-off brushes such as ActiVet, Master Grooming Tools and Furminator are offered on Amazon.

Also, to clarify, ActiVet is not Les Poochs.

Les Poochs is the only brush I’ve ever used on my four doodles for the past 11 years. Wow, it seems like they were just puppies - where did the time go?
