P. S.
Please note that the included tool package may vary retailers to retailer s. Even purchased from the same retailer, the package also may be different from time to time.
Some people may make the purchase decision just because of an accessory. So many users have pointed out that they bought the TruePet model just for the TruePet motorized brush. If you care about accessories, I suggest you always check the INCLUDES section on the product box to make sure what tools included. Or you may need to buy the separately.
