Review title is Well-designed; better for longer-haired pets [SEP] This is a well-designed brush, in that one can press a button and easily removed the accumulated hair.  This slicker brush is about 3 inches across.  The handle is comfortable to hold.<br /><br />I quickly found out that this brush is too large for my kitty Stacey, who is 7.5 pounds and has very short fur.  The prongs on this brush are too long to get close to her skin.  She does not shed much (so no fur on the surface), but she still gets hair balls from vigorously washing herself.<br /><br />I think this brush works better as a detangling and brush for a larger kitty or small-medium size dog with longer fur.
