My dog is restless and wouldn't let me brush him, so I've only used this a few times. There are a few places where the brush part is slightly bent (please check the photos for the extent of the bend). Product Description ■ Pet hair care brush (for puppies) from Tangle Teezer A puppy brush, perfect for grooming from birth to adulthood. The ultra-soft bristles gently glide through the coat, removing dirt and tangles without harming delicate skin. By making brushing a habit from the adaptable puppy stage, you can deepen your bond with your dog as an important form of communication. ■ Soft, enveloping milky color A soft color scheme with a pale green tone. It has a warm atmosphere, so you can relax and let it be your first brushing experience. We hope that your puppy will become friends with the brush from an early age and enjoy brushing time forever.
