What Is Curry on a Stik?

Curry on a Stik is a double-sided, therapeutic curry comb built for horses, dogs, and cats. One side carries coarse, cone-shaped rubber teeth for the body; the other side has flexible, fine teeth for sensitive areas like the head, face, and legs. A specially manufactured TPE rubber overlay forms an ergonomic handle that fits comfortably whether you groom left- or right-handed, and the single-piece core construction makes the tool easy to clean and built to last.

Why Groom From a Distance With a Better Tool?

Curry on a Stik is more than a brush. It massages skin, muscle, and fascia, releases natural oils for a healthier coat and shine, and stimulates circulation as you work. Because there are no metal or wire blades, it loosens grime and sheds old hair without ripping fur or irritating skin. The rubber overlay lets you curry effectively without pressing hard, so the ergonomic handle reduces strain on hands, wrists, and elbows. Riders use linear strokes along the back and circular strokes over the hips to target acupressure points and ease stagnation while they brush, turning everyday grooming into a bonding session that relaxes both the animal and the handler.

How Do I Use It & Where to Buy?

Use the coarser side for the body and the softer side for the head, face, and legs, then rinse the tool clean. The same comb works for grooming, massaging, or bathing, and it is safe for horses, cats, dogs, and other livestock. Developed over two years by Jeff and Sharon, Curry on a Stik carries a veterinarian-approved design and a 30-day money-back guarantee. It sells for $29.95 directly through curryonastik.com, with an Ultimate Grooming Kit bundle also available.

Who makes Curry on a Stik, and how did it start?
Curry on a Stik was created by Jeff and Sharon, a husband-and-wife team who spent more than two years designing, testing, and perfecting the tool before bringing it to market. The idea grew out of 35 years of riding and showing horses, and the everyday frustration with traditional curry combs that fly out of your hand, pinch your fingers, and make a mess. Their goal was simple: a better way to groom that takes the strain off your fingers, wrists, and elbows while doing more for the horse. The brand carries the slogan "The Only Brush you'll ever need!"

What is the curry comb actually made of?

The brush is built from a single-piece core with no rivets or screws to loosen, rust, or fail, which is why the makers describe it as having lifetime durability. A specially manufactured TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) rubber overlay forms the patent-pending ergonomic handle, giving it a soft, secure grip that works the same whether you hold it left- or right-handed. The coarse, cone-shaped rubber teeth on one side and the flexible fine teeth on the other are molded right into that same body, so the whole tool rinses or washes clean under water with nothing to trap grime.

How does it work as a therapeutic tool, not just a brush?
Beyond pulling dead hair and loosening grime, Curry on a Stik is designed to massage skin, muscle, and fascia and to release the coat's natural oils as you groom. The makers say it stimulates circulation, opens micro-vasculature, and helps remove painful stagnation — effectively turning daily grooming into acupressure and massage stimulation. Used regularly, it is credited with decreasing shedding, reducing dandruff, and improving overall coat health, all while loosening dirt without roughly stripping or tearing the coat.

Why do veterinarians and the Chi Institute recommend it?

Curry on a Stik is veterinarian tested and approved by Chi Institute veterinarian Dr. Selmer and is endorsed by the Chi University for Integrative Medicine. Dr. John Langlois, an equine specialist at the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, has endorsed it for its ability to support the flow of energy (Qi) and blood (Xue) under Tcvm principles. Because it was originally designed to be easy for children and people with arthritic or nerve-affected hands to hold, it has also earned the Family Choice Award.

How is it used on horses, dogs, and cats?
The same tool serves all three animals: use the coarse cone-toothed side for the body and barrel, then flip to the flexible fine-toothed side for sensitive spots like the head, face, and legs. Many owners introduce the softer side first on protective or pain-sensitive areas to let the animal relax before working in longer massage strokes. It is pocket-sized for convenient reach, and because the body is fully sealed rubber it can be used wet — work it through during a bath with shampoo and water, then rinse the brush clean.

How much is it, and how do you buy it?
Curry on a Stik sells for $29.95, with a Subscribe & Save option at $26.95 (10% off) on a recurring schedule.
