Not only do I use the Maden brush on my furbutts, I have one for myself! I used to use regular slicker brush which both my furbutts would tolerate but they actually enjoy being brushed when I use the Maden.
I'm also one of those ppl that don't bathe my two every week. More like once a month. So in between I use Isle of Dogs "waterless shampoo". Everyone always compliments how soft and shiny Magnus/Zoey's hair is.
Jenny pretty much answered any questions/concerns I have and know she uses the products she sells on her own furries gives me peace of mind.
