"This bristle brush is very nice. I have a Golden Retriever, she loves to be brushed, especially when I use this type of brush. I still can use the one we have had for years but felt I wanted to order a new one to be prepared! If you have ever had a Golden Retriever, you understand."

— Elizabeth

"I have an older Andis brush that I absolutely love, even though a bristle will fall out once in a while. I thought this brush was basically the same brush but it is far from it. This brush, while well made, is very different from the pin brush I already own. The tines are extremely pointy and sharp ..."

Bottom Line

If you have a dog with a double coat, this brush is a great choice. Just be cautious if you have a cat or a very small dog.
