The EarthCare® CAT Tampico Bristle Brush Benefits
NOT YOUR AVERAGE CAT BRUSH
✔️ Superior Quality - German Hand Craftsmanship
✔️ Plant-based natural Tampico fiber bristles help reduce static
✔️ Known for the capacity to retain moisture, Tampico fibers absorb excess grease and re-distribute it to areas where moisture is most needed.
✔️ Unlike other natural bristle cat brushes, The EarthCare® Shiner is Made from FSC certified beech wood from the black forest (The Schwarzwald) in Germany
✔️ Naturally lacquered
✔️ Ergonomic design and extra light weight
✔️ Massages and stimulates natural oil production
What is FSC Certified Wood and Why You Should Care
✔️ The FSC certification is considered the "gold standard" for responsibly harvested wood
✔️ FSC certified wood comes from forests that are responsibly managed, socially beneficial, environmentally conscious, and economically viable
✔️ FSC Forests can potentially provide wood indefinitely
✔️ By choosing cat brushes made from certified sustainably sourced wood (over plastic brushes), you're reducing landfill waste and making a difference to our planet
✔️ The wood in the EarthCare® Shiner Cat Brushes has been verified as harvested in a sustainable way, this includes protecting biodiversity, control of erosion, and water resource preservation
WHY THE BLACK FOREST IN GERMANY?
✔️ Natural and sustainable raw materials, as well as superior craftsmanship are some of the most important aspects when designing products at Toe Beans®
✔️ We searched the world over for the best place to manufacture our line of dog and cat brushes
✔️ The town of Todtnau in Germany’s Black Forest has been the cradle of brush making for 250 years
✔️ The skill and craftsmanship that goes into making the EarthCare® family of brushes has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 2 centuries
✔️ The EarthCare® Shiner Cat Brush by Toe Beans® is as close to perfect performance, durability, and zero environmental impact any dog pin brush will ever get
Why a Plant-Based Bristle Brush is Better for your Cat/Dog
✔️ Tampico bristle brushes are stiff enough to work through fur, but flexible enough to not snag.
✔️ The biggest benefit of Tampico bristles is that they are porous which allows them to absorb natural sebum and re-distribute it from the root to the tip thus coating and protecting each strand.
✔️ Plant based bristles are naturally anti-static which makes the grooming experience more pleasant for your cat.
✔️ Help boost shine and make your cat fur look silky.

✔️ Exact Ingredients: Not just what the product is free from, but rather every ingredient used.
✔️ Where raw materials come from: You don’t want vague statements like “made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients,” which often means components could be contaminated with harmful substances.
✔️ Production Location & Labor Practices: Ensuring the product wasn’t made using forced labor camps overseas.
✔️ Verifiable Claims: Backed by third-party certifications, versus common, unsubstantiated claims like “organic,” “premium,” “100% natural,” etc.
For supply chain transparency, we provide an info sheet for each product on our product anatomy page.
