I was very excited to receive the dog brush as I am very happy with the shampoo and conditioner products. My goldendoodle was recently groomed so he had no mats and I wanted to keep up his grooming. Initially, the brush was awesome. I like that it is two sided; one side for matting and one to maintain silky fur. I have used the brush daily for a little over one month. I am very gentle with it. To my dismay, there are three bristles already missing and @ six bristles on each side of the brush are bent. I am very disappointed. I purchased two other brushes for friends and now that I am disillusioned with the quality, I am sorry I did.
