I have several combs, brushes, and shedders for my yellow Lab. All make a mess of hair, but this shedder made the biggest pile of hair I have ever created. Therefore, I feel it is doing the best job of all that I have. I am very happy with both it and the quick friendly service I have received from this company. So much so, I went and ordered their brush also. I am confident I will be just as happy with it. My Lab, Ali, also seem to love it being used on him.
