Choosing The Right Brush For Your Dog.
A dog brush is not a 'one type fits all' purchase. You will need to take your dog's particular fur into consideration, as each coat type has different needs. From pin head to slicker brush,let's sort them all out so you can decide which brush is best for your dog.
- Rake Hair Brush
- In terms of basic looks, this dog hairbrush is quite similar to those of double-sided combs for humans.The only difference is that it is made of steel as you need strong bristles to remove the dirt and tangles from your pet’s fur. Made of high-quality stainless steel, this brush is durable and will stay functional for long. While the broader side can be used for removing the tangles, the narrow one can be used for fine grooming.
- Rakes should be used on thick-haired dogs including German Shepherds,Malamutes, and Chow Chows,Lhasa Apso,Shihtzus,

- Slicker brushes have fine, short wires close together on a flat surface.They are used on medium-to-long-haired or curly-haired dogs to remove mats.It is important to remember to always be gentle when using a slicker brush. The fine, tightly-spaced wires can cause your dog discomfort if too much pressure is used.
