Highlighted Reviews

— Carly

"A very gentle design is more beneficial than a more typically designed brush. My dog is an American Cocker Spaniel with long hair. This brush keeps her hair healthy and shiny. I would recommend it, but the brush should come in multiple sizes, and the handle feels small."

— Miranda

"This is not what is advertised, and the product I received is not even available here. I am very unhappy."

Bottom Line

For those looking for a gentle slicker brush for small dogs, this might be a temporary solution, but be prepared for potential durability issues. Consider other options for long-haired or large dogs.
