Review (5/5): Works for my black Lab/Border Collie mix
Really nice feel in the hand and the little “fur pucks” we extract from our fuzz bucket come right off the brush head with two or three light button presses. This is easy to use with either hand and while it’s not a wand, it is easier to use than a brush that straps to your hand. In that case, the hand must remain in contact with the coat along with all the body contours. I would argue that with this item’s handle design, you bend over slightly less and you can reach most places by just shifting your wrist a little - probably my favorite feature. The length of the cleaning metal bits is substantial and also worth mentioning. They easily get through the undercoat and right to the skin.
Others mentioned “scratching” with the metal tips but I think my pup likes it, let alone minds it. I don’t go really hard, letting the brush do the work, and treats after. From light tangles to seasonal shedding, this brush has been a winner. Be sure to stand up-wind.
I have found that repeating one stroke with the brush followed by one swipe of your free hand really gets stuff moving and it’s like half brush/ half pets for better vibes. A couple of minutes of brushing when I take her outside has made a difference for sure. She has never flinched or shown any signs of discomfort or fear while using this brush and she has a significant undercoat which takes way less effort now to shake loose.
