Highlighted Reviews
"THIS DOG BRUSH IS THE BEST ONE I HAVE EVER USED YET. MY DOG LOVES TO GET BRUSHED BY IT. SHE WILL SIT IN ONE SPOT AND LET ME BRUSH HER A LONG TIME AND IT GETS THE SHED HAIR OFF OF HER REALLY GOOD."
"Before we finished brushing our dog, we noticed the bristles had fallen out. We found some on the floor where they could be dangerous, especially with a small child that puts things in their mouth like our 10-month-old granddaughter. Do not recommend this product."
Bottom Line
Consider alternatives if durability is a key concern, but it's a decent option for those looking for a lightweight, effective brush for their dog's undercoat. The consistent design flaws and poor durability reviews are concerning and limit the brush’s overall appeal and use-long-term appeal.
