A pet brush is a simple way of brushing a pet. What happens when a pet is brushed? The brush collects the hair and excess hair becomes airborne. What if there was a way to prevent excess hair from becoming airborne?

Pet hair has become a problem for many pet owners. When a person goes to brush their pet and hair flies everywhere, it gets overwhelming. A pet owner must clean their house at least twice a week in order to control pet hair and even that’s not enough. Team Intrepid wants to solve that problem. We want to find a way to contain pet hair as you brush. The static pet hair brush is able to solve the pet hair problems.
