Its great for small pets and the bristles are soft enough ... [SEP] Serves the purpose of what it was bought for. The bristles kept coming out as I was using it to brush our small puppy which is what I bought it for. Its great for small pets and the bristles are soft enough that I don't feel like it would hurt the puppy to brush her. I would probably buy again if it holds up long enough meaning of the bristles don't all fall out real quick.
