larger than expected but works well [SEP] they made this out to be pocketable it is not really too thick but it is also not crazy large like the equigroomer is i wanted to try this out before seeing if i should buy the equigroomer overall impressedpros does not lock into position so i would be mid combing my dogs and the blade would slowly crawl back inside and i would only realize it since it would start to feel smooth or there was not the expected resistance so you have to develop a combing method where your thumb sits behind the slider to keep the blades from retracting chunky not bad for in hand feel but they made this out to be pocketable it is not i mean it is if you have baggy pants or cargo pockets the thing is about inches it is that thickness that kind of hurts the pocketability of this though if you are throwing this in a care bag like a pet version of a baby bag then this is not so bulky that it is going to greatly consume space cheap feeling i know it is not expensive but it does feel cheap like i do not know if this would survive a fall clogging while i like that the simple act of retracting the blades pushes the hair out do not know if the tolerance are there to prevent dander and dead skin from building up and clogging it questionable shorthaired issues i have one dog that is clearly medium haired it is a dutch shepherd lab mix and the other is a foxhound catahoula the foxhoud thinks the longer tooth blade is painful but the shorter toothed blade is too short for it to be useful the dutch lab dog has zero issue with the longer tooth combtipi think it is a great travel comb and it is well worth the sticker price short haired dogs may not like it and may make it hard to comb them with it but medium and long will more than be fine
