Note: I bought this brush myself, it is not sponsored by SleekEz and they didn't send me a free one - dang! We've never used this brush before so today we gave it a good go, on 4 horses and 3 dogs. Without fail, they all loved it. I've heard people mention that for their dog, it was like "torture", but that definitely wasn't the case for our animals. The dogs and horses actually pushed each other out of the way to get to brush! As for shedding hair, it's great at that too. I think "sleek in minutes" is overstated, it needs elbow grease and dedication, but it definitely works. And it's a lot of fun to use! On the dogs, it works beautifully. They all loved it. I only have one dog with a semi-winter coat and the hair came out easily. I struggled a bit with his "lumps" (not lady lumps, he's a boy), like around his neck and his shoulders, but along his back and butt, it works beautifully. All in all, I highly recommend the SleekEz. It works much better than other deshedding tools we've tried, and even the kids can use it! I'm publishing a full review on the blog (www.outdoorhappens.com/) within a week or so, if you'd like to read more detail :) You can get your SleekEz on Amazon (amzn.to/30aPAnc) and at TractorSupply (www.outdoorhappens.com/go/sleekez-tractorsupply/)
