"Dogs hair is too coarse for this but its great for my cats"

"A Chewy rep answered some other question with: "This brush works great on all dog breeds. Whether your pup has long or short hair, this brush will do a great job keeping her nicely groomed." -- That's too general and actually dishonest."
