This is a wonderful brush for both my cats and dogs. It is especially nice knowing that my children can use this brush and I know that my animals skin won't get scratched if they push too hard. I have a large dog with very fine hair and I can not use any kind of brush with wires or fine edges because it hurts him. The Zoom Groom brushes away so much dead fur that I was amazed. His fur is fabulous when I am done using this brush. I can use it on my cats as well and it works just as wonderfully.
