Review (5/5): Pretty and pretty effective!
My cat hated our pin slicker, and she's a long hair, so that was a problem. I genuinely needed to brush her but she wasn't having it! Regular plastic bristle brushes weren't getting into her thick undercoat enough to make a difference with her shedding and matting, but since this brush has a combo of plastic tipped and plain pins, it keeps her happy and doesn't scrape at her skin.
She also had a bad habit of chewing the other brush, which had a rubbery grip. She likes chomping on things with that texture. With this brush, it's no concern even if she does chew. Plus it's so much prettier than our old blue and white plastic slicker! Which doesn't *really* matter, but I'd be lying if I didn't say the look was part of what sold me!
