because every pet deserves a little extra 'ruff'.
Even though bathing pets are clearly motivated by the love of their owners, it can sometimes lead to arguments that drive the two apart. The daily life of Lina and my family, with Lina who had particularly disliked water since she was young, was like that. Cleaning Lina's dirty paws every day after returning from an exciting walk was a big task that consumed too much of our time.
Bath time with Lina, who loves walks but gets startled and complains when water touches her fur, was like a never-ending war. This is because every time I rubbed her skin and joints with my hands in the hopes of cleaning them more thoroughly, Lina would complain of pain and run away. As Lina grew healthier and stronger, the stress and discomfort of bathing that she had to continue to endure, broke our hearts.
Then one day, an important thought occurred to me. We finally realized. True consideration for Lina means resolving Lina's discomfort in the way she wants, not in the way I would want resolved. Knowing this made us rethink our approach to pet bathing from the ground up. This is where the story of The Forlina Brush, a hand shower exclusively for pets, began.
My family and I asked questions. And we set out to find a solution that could inspire the development of a new type of pet hand shower. We looked into why the existing bathing method was inconvenient for Lina and wondered if there was a way to simplify the shampooing process. Our goal was for a hand shower to truly enhance the pet's bathing experience, and to make washing paws after a walk a natural and pleasant routine for Lina and our family.
The water stream being opened and closed with one hand, and can easily pump shampoo with one button and comb it into the fur instantly; Cleanliness that seems like it cleans away bacteria hidden in every nook and cranny with a comfortable and soft water stream that does not put strain on Lina's joints. A hand shower was born that made all of this possible with just one hand. The Forlina Brush, which quickly and easily reduced the time of tedious bathing time, changed Lina's heart. Now, washing feet with Lina after a walk is no longer a scary task, but a pleasant experience.
The technology and design of The Forlina Brush is filled with meticulous consideration for all pets and their owners around the world. Throughout all of this product development, one thing remains a constant. Attentiveness that even looks at joints that are not visible on the outside, consideration that does not overlook even the slightest pain, and a sincere desire to cherish our pets forever. At the unwavering center of the Forlina brand are ‘understanding’ and ‘love’ for Lina. We hope that our desire to provide safe and comfortable bath time to both beloved pets and their owners will be conveyed.
If our idea can make the daily lives of you and your pet a little more comfortable, that would be enough. The Forlina Brush allows for a ‘shorter bath time’ and a ‘more comfortable bathing’ experience at the same time.

Regular cleaning and maintenance are important to keep your Forlina Brush in peak condition. Please take good care of it by referring to the provided cleaning guide. The basic things to keep in mind are as follows:
The importance of preventing limescale build-up:
If limescale builds up on the brush, it can reduce the performance of the hand shower. If you prevent limescale build-up through regular cleaning and maintenance, you can maintain the function and efficiency of your Forlina Brush as if it was when you first got it. However, depending on the region, tap water may contain fine limestone sediment dissolved in it. If these deposits continue to build up over a long period of time, they may clog the shower spray nozzle. Problems with shower spray nozzle clogging due to fine limestone are not covered by the warranty and cannot be exchanged, replaced or refunded, so please extend the life of the product through regular maintenance.
