What it may feel like in daily use
Dogs or cats with dense undercoats when used gently in short sessions. In daily use, the product should solve one clear routine problem rather than simply add another item to clean or store. Think about where it will live, how often you will touch it, and whether your pet is likely to accept it after the first week.
