nice brush similar to we love doodles chris christensen cats love it easily removes hair [SEP] if i did not already own love my we love doodles brand of big slicker brush i would have rated this brush at a full stars mostly what i do not care for this brush vs doodles is the handle it is a little more narrow so it is a teensy bit less comfortable to hold i have carpel tunnel i have been grooming cats furever grooming english angora rabbits for well over a decadefor short long haired cats this brush works great all of my cats love this brush my doodles brand i can comb all of them except for my with a surprising amount of pressure they roll around purring tons of hair gets picked up into the tines unlike some styles of brushes combs no hair is left behind around the tail arearemoving the hair from the brush is very easy start at one side from the bottom to loosen then move to the other side keep working your way around it comes off in a nice clean loose mat i actually prefer these types of slicker brushes over self cleaning brushes also over brushes with the little plastic beads on the ends if you groom your animal properly you do not need little balls on the ends of the tines those balls also make it a little harder to get the brush fully clean of haircosmetically i like the look of the brush much better than my doodles brush this is all black with a more classy branding in small white text on the head we love doodles is blue loudly brands itself on the headi do not recommend this style of brush for english angora rabbits i have found that my bunnies seem to be more comfortable with smaller slickers with shorter tines you would think with their dense long coats you would want something large with long tines but it really does not work out like you would expect at least for me it does notrecommended for english angora rabbitsrabbitglobe with meridians smileamazoncom gp product also recommend if money allows a small slicker brush by chris christensen i have never needed to replace it https made in germany made in usa made in china
