Helpful for de-shedding short hair dogs prior to baths.
If you have a long hair dog and want to use this - give them a haircut beforehand.
Our dogs are pretty skittish around electric equipment, but after a few times of using this, they love it... especially when you hit their sweet spots first.
Be cautious of a few things:
1. Think of it like back scratching.
2. Applying too much pressure can do more harm than good.
3. Hitting the same spot for too long can pull out too much fur and irritate tissue and muscles.
3. Setting the drill at too high a speed can let it get away from you, if you have an adjustable drill, use a lower torque setting to help keep it from being harmful. Be aware of pets ears or collars, or anything that may roll up in the brush.
As long as you're mindful of your pets, this can be a very useful tool. We use it prior to bath time and if they've rolled around in the dirt/grass all day.
It has also significantly reduced the amount of fur that ends up in the tub.
Overall, the pets like it, the wife loves it, and I'm glad I got it. It appears to be built to last a lifetime.
