Show Tech Tuffer Than Tangles Slicker Brush for Dog Grooming with Long, Firm Pins, Medium Size, Perfect for Doodle Breeds, Angled Pins for Dematting, Remove Undercoat, Comfort Grip Handle

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have a very, very winter-coated dog, and we got this to comb it out for the summer. It works pretty well, but the thing we had trouble with was that the brush was yanking out the dog's hair for some reason. But overall is a good brush.

I got a full grown Pomeranian about 4 months ago. I bought 3 different brushes. The brush either didn’t remove the fur or pulled her hair. Nothing like a dog running from you when they see you with a brush. I finally asked her groomer what she recommended. She said she used this exact brush on Priss. I received it today and immediately went to brush Priss. She ran to me (unheard of) and this removed so much hair!! She’s happy and I’m astounded!!! I can’t say anymore!! Highly recommend!!!

I have a couple longhair cats that hate being brushed, and I am sensitive to fumes such as come from the rubber in brushes, so I am always trying various brushes to see if I can find the best type for us. This did have rubber stink as they all do, but it aired out relatively quickly (four others of different brands all bought the same time are still stinky a month after this one came in from the porch). Because it has a pure plastic handle not silicone coated like many are, it doesn't give off that awful febreze-y stink that silicone has these days. Good choice for pet parents with fragile health. As for function, seems top notch there too. I got the one with really long firm tines and though I can't dig very deep yet due to a few knots, I love how many strokes we can go before it fills up. My one cat especially, who seems to be at least part Himalaya (ie has the fur of two regular cats the poor guy, quite prone to matting) hates brushing and uses those brush-cleaning breaks to flee. With the amount of hair this bad boy can hold, I get ahold of my cat, and don't let go until I am done. It's as easy as possible considering. They seem pleased with the sensation on their head and neck fur (the only areas they LIKE brushed) but I have to be very careful because this size of brush is about an inch too wide to fit between their ears and it is also at least an inch wider than their necks are long. I knew I was getting a dog brush though, I didn't expect it to fit, but those long tines were a big draw, and they're as great as I hoped so I love the brush. I did a quick google of the brand name and see that they do sell a "Twin-flex slicker" which looks skinnier (no listings say dimensions) with maybe the same tines (no ads say that either!) so I may try to find one of those (they are in the 10-15 dollar range but somehow the only ones currently on here are over 40!). Oh by the way if you are curious about dimensions on this, I see the vendor has mucked up that question by describing the width to the edge of the plastic, rather than the width of the tines area. (Who on earth would care how big the plastic is?) The width of the bristle part is about 3 1/8 inches. Oh and durability- I will try to remember to update this when the brush starts to fail but really, some brushes have a wiggly tine right off, and this is sturdy after a month of use, so I think it will prove sturdy.

I didn't expect, based on price, that this would be a super work horse, so it's no surprise that it isn't. The pins aren't set as well as they could be. However, I just needed a curved back slicker for the parts of my Newf where the straight back isn't appropriate. The pins are a bit shorter on this one than my straight back, but they are the length they claimed to be. Depending on how much coat you have to deal with and the texture, this could be a great addition to your home grooming tools, but I would not recommend it for heavy use. As with any slicker brush, it's vital that you use it correctly to prevent irritation to your dog's skin, so general caveat--don't use a slicker brush, this or any other, without educating yourself on how to use it properly. Your dog will thank you, your brushing will be more effective, and you're less likely to bend or pull out the pins. Oh, I would have appreciated some type of padding or cushion on the handle--after extended use, the bare plastic gets to be unfriendly. It does have little grippy ridges, but they don't do much. Overall, it is pretty reminiscent of those universal branded plastic slickers that were red and kind of light tan? Maybe they still sell those. They're basic, not much in the way of bells and whistles, but generally get the job done. But not suited to heavy use.

Very effective for removing loose pet hair, and easy to clean off. A bit of a softer touch is recommended as these wire bristles really dig in, but this brush really does great when it comes hair removal. Would definitely recommend.

Good brush

This slicker brush is great for double coated dogs. Medium and long double coats can be difficult to manage but this brush makes it easy. It helped me survive spring shedding season, and continues to impress with regular shedding management.

My dog is more like a farm animal / sheep than a dog. I could make a carpet out of the amount of fur this brush removes. We've tried bathing her and trimming her hair but its just too heavy duty of a job. My dog is a chow mix and her hair gets crazy tangled and dreaded, so I try to keep her brushed as much as possible to keep the dirt and dreads from accumulating. Definitely worth the money. I've had it for a couple of years and the pins haven't broken off yet.

Just what I needed for a long haired Pyranees Dog . Will order a second one soon. Does a excellent job of removing dog hair. Bravo

Love it I am a groomer and I am am happy to see that this brush last me long time

Carda bastante resistente. Es un producto muy practico y de buena calidad.

Acquistato per il mio barboncino. Buon cardatore. Aggancia bene il pelo. Utilizzarlo correttamente, quindi seguendo l’inclinazione del cardatore e staccarsi dalla cute del cane senza strisciarla con i denti della spazzola.

My groomer was complaining that my bichons always had knots and was charging me 20euros extra per dog each time. I explained to her that I was brushing my dogs every day and showed her the brush I was using. And she explained that my brush was normally for cats and not suitable for bichons because it was not going to the roots of the hair, and only detangling the top. And this Show Tech brush was the one she was using in her grooming salon. So I bought the same. I still brush my dogs every day but it takes me only 2 to 4 minutes now per dog whereas before It took 15 to 20min and my dogs and I hated it... Now they tolerate it and I enjoy detangling them :-). It also became easier to shave them myself betweem grooming sessions.
