AtEase Accents Double Sided Dog Brush - for Long or Short Haired Dogs and Cats Natural Bamboo Eco Friendly Pet Grooming Dual Sided Pin and Bristles for Deshedding Hair

I like this brush, especially the bamboo handle, nice ergonomical grip. Nylon bristles are sturdy enough for good healthy brush outs on my dog's coat and when blow drying after a bath. The metal pin side does help to gently pull out tangles and knots but after 2 uses of this brush at bath time there are already 2 pins missing. At the price of this brush I find this a little concerning and hopefully this brush will hold up over time. I do use the bristle brush side most anyway so not a total deal breaker.

I bought this because we were adopted by a stray cat with long thick hair. At first I wasn't sold on the brush, the metal side. I figured it was too big! But after continued attempts I finally realized it's benefits. It can dig into thick fur. Now the kitty doesn't enjoy it when the brush gets caught on a tangle. But i know of no other way to get into kitty's thick fur and brush out the tangles without these metal bad-boy prongs. Kitty has grown fond of the brush, even uses it to brush himself with it, while I hold it stationary. I use a small "pet brush" as well. But this sucker is for the deep work!I would think for human hair, it would work well with thick hair. Fine and/or thin hair, would be useless for metal side of this brush.

I am picky about brushes. This one is great- well made with a solid wooden handle. The natural bristle side is strong enough to brush thoroughly through long dog hair, yet soft enough to be gentle. My shi tzu loves being brushed now. The bristles are well seated in the wood and have not “shed” from the brush like so many cheapies do. For a bigger tangle, flip it over to use the metal bristles. These too, have remained securely in the brush. I don’t use this side often, but it’s nice to have it when necessary. I will be recommending this brush highly to my dog groomer.

I started to use it on my long haired puppy and she likes it and I think it works well and is gentle on her. Tried it on my cat last night and he loved it. He came back for more and ariived early this morning for even more. He’s a mdeiun haired domestic cat and it pulled out some hair. Amazingly he’s a year old and has never really shed that much. Maybe because he’s basically stress free or I just feed him better food but he doesn’t shed as much as previouscats did. My puppy shouldn’t be shedding. What’s she is losing is breakage from poor nutrition as a baby. Now she’s on a raw diet and you can actually see the difference in the coat as it’s growing. I like this brush because it’s soft but has enough bristle to pull out some hair. I felt her slicker brush was too much for her until she gets her adult coat. I might just get another one.

I am writing about this brush because since we ended up with two shedding dogs and two hairy cats I have been brushes all over the place. First it has rounded bristles which don’t hurt nor me when I catch myself. Second it collects the cat hair. This is not true with all brushes that collect the dog hair. I want to be able to toss it and not having it end up where I have to clean later. One of our adopted cats is very timid. Has been abused I’m sure. She loves this brush. So buy this brush
