Mrs D Dale: I have tried quite a few brushes on my Maine Coon cats and this one is the best. They seem to be enjoying getting brushed - even one who really disliked, would recommend.

I G: My cat has never liked to be brushed. Her fur would get knots in it where she'd have to be shaved so now I don't have to shave her. It takes the knots out without pulling her hair With this brush she will allow me to brush her now with it even if it is only for a short time. She still sheds a lot but now brushing her gets some of the loose hair off and knots out.

Surfinurchin: I have 2 cats one simple short hair and other a Norwegian forest cat (fluffy). When you use this brush, it helps reduce furball ingestion in your cat, which can be dangerous especially for your fluffy breeds. Just brush in small strokes for gentle use, then smooth with your free hand to sooth. To clean get a toothpick, move it gently along the base and lift up to remove the fur. This technique will prolong the life use of the brush, ripping upwards with your hands can damage the brush prongs and base. This is also how you properly clean your hair brushes, yet with a very thin wooden dowel, instead of a toothpick, like a chop stick.

Laura D. WeberLaura D. Weber: This one, I use for very day brushing! I thought we were going to have to shave Lily Faith, because she was so matted. She is a long haired cat, which we had never had before, nor did know at the time of adoption!
My husband said, before you have her shaved, lets look for something first. I found these 2 tools, and it was AMAZING! It took no time, and it was painless for her, maybe not me! lol Lily Faith, no longer, looks like she has spikes on her back! I still need to work, on a couple of spots, on her tummy, but I didn't want to overwhelm her, all at once.

José Lledó Prieto: A mi gato le encanta, me pide a diario que le cepille el pelo, y a mi también. Me resulta muy cómodo tanto de usar como de limpiar. Buena relación calidad - precio.

Izzy: I absolutely love this. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I originally bought it for my Maine Coone cat (who is a very large cat), however the brush itself was too large, with the brush parts being too wide apart, I've opted to use it for my dog instead.

It says in the title that it can be used for small animals, however I do not recommend it for smaller animals, and you should buy it for large/ medium ones instead. If you have a cat with thicker hair rather than fine, you may find it of use, but I still recommend you find a brush that is not as wide, and is a bit smaller.

KateAtTheBeach: I purchased to replace a competitor's brush which I somehow misplaced. Loved this lost brush as it easily removed tangles, excess undercoat and unraveled matts easily without pain to my dog. He actually laid down and rolled over begging to be brushed with it.

I have a double coated long-haired medium sized dog.

This brush scares my baby. He fights me while using. I can see a medium haired dog not minding the brushing but with a longer haired dog, the bristles just do not reach down to just above the skin to work properly.

Disappointed but will keep until I find my "lost" brush.

Pros:

Easy to retract the bristles to fully remove fur/hairs from the brush.
Push Button to lock bristles into place is a good feature.
Good Rubber/Silicone Handle that doesn't slip out of palm.
Overall brush size is good.

Cons:

Cheap hollow plastic construction that isn't on par with competition.
Took more than 5 days to arrive when Amazon stated overnight arrival.
Bristles are shorter than most slicker brushes so do not dig into and remove tangles and dead hair.
Handle is not ergonomically shaped thus awkward when handling.

Overall...

AntS: I’m using this brush on two, year old British short hair cats. The brush gets their seal of approval as they will park themselves in front of it and offer them selves up for a grooming session.

Likes:
-Gets into the undercoat which is where our cats shed the most and gets all the stray hair.
-The design is sensible as the prongs are retracted until you press the button which protects them from damage and should ensure it lasts longer.
- The fur is also easy to clean off because you can retract the prongs of the brush.
-It’s reasonably wide with a large surface area to get the job done quickly.
-Not too heavy.

Dislikes
-Despite the retracting prongs they look delicate and care needs to be taken when brushing.
-The prongs are not covered in plastic - this doesn’t seem to both my cats but they have a tendency to want to nibble brushes and I don’t want this piercing their gums so have to be on guard at all times and keep it retracted when not in use.
