What owners single out
Multiple buyers report the rubber base detaching and pins popping out, matching concerns about poor construction quality and planned obsolescence.
In their words
“My GSD has a very thick coat and this brush is great for all the time use. I can leave it in the garage or out on the porch (I have a few) for a quick brush-out after being in the bushes. The teeth are of good quality and have never loosen or fallen out. One brush is already 5 years old. Cleans up well too.”

“I bought this brush for my shepherd. The metal brush got bend only at a second time use. Then the rubber connecting the metal part got pulled out this morning after about 5 times uses. The quality is really poor. I don’t recommend this item.”
