After years of my siblings pulling out the teeth along with the fur in traditional slicker brushes there is finally one that has remained fully bristled after several years of use. The only reason I had to replace is that I accidentally left mine on the manure trailer and it is now at the bottom of Mt. St. Manure. Really gets all the little hay bits out of the donkeys coat and makes shedding a breeze. Being able to pop the fur off in a little pad makes cleanup easy. Don’t recommend using if coat is clumpy with dry mud as the bristles can get pulled out of alignment and the pad won’t retract as easily after pushing off the fur. Our pony and horses like it too! Got one for the cat too.
