I don't recommend for short hair dog [SEP] Bought this cause my dog sheds bad.  He's about 24 lbs, short hair,  and loves to be brushed. However this brush almost feels like I'm hurting him.  The bristles are so "sharp" I can't apply much pressure behind the brush in fear of hurting his skin.  It does gather hair and is decent to clean out.  Is probably recommended it for long, really thick furred dogs.
