"Great sturdy brush for a dog like our Chow Chow who sheds A LOT. Gentle, and yet effective tool to keep your furry friend well groomed."

"The Andis Slicker Brush was delivered quickly. I used the brush on both my cats and my dog. The brush didn’t work as well as expected. It is a very firm brush and doesn’t remove loose fir as well as my previous slicker brushes."
