I have never liked Richard Ward, since he brought out his version of Shaun Pulfrey's invention, the tangle teezer, simply by adding a handle to get round the patent issue. I would never consider, therefore, buying that. But when I saw the pet angel (didn't realise it was for pets, initially!), I thought I would give it a go, as it is antibacterial. Anyway, it arrived yesterday and my two boxers loved it! They just sat/stood there asking to be brushed (not literally!). And I swear their coats were shiny and soft after using it, and looked in better condition. And I got it on 3 EP! It could actually be used on our own hair. If it's good enough for that, it is definitely good enough for my boys. I told mum, tell your friends our guys have got a pet angel and they will think you've lost it!
