Review (3/5): Brush is rounded instead of flat
I got this brush to use on my medium long haired cat. His fur is also very thick, and this type of brush really helps to pull the hair out when he is shedding badly in the spring. I had a similar brush for years that needed replaced. This one is larger, which is nice for collecting more hair. However, this brush is rounded instead of flat. The bristles are higher in the middle. With the stiffness of the bristles, it's difficult to get the entire brush surface into the fur. This was much easier with my old one where the edges of the bristles just went straight across. The bent tip of each bristle is great though. You have to make sure you hold the brush straight and go gently so it doesn't dig into your pets skin and hurt them. I find the handle on this brush to be too thin and uncomfortable to hold. My cat loves the way this feels, though, so we will continue to use it.
