One of the most essential tools for grooming and bathing your dog is a good dog brush or comb. Regular brushing helps to remove tangles, mats, and loose fur from your dog’s coat, keeping it healthy and shiny. Dog brushes can also help to prevent shedding around your home. Less shedding means a reduction of dander in the air, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers.
When it comes to brushes and combs, there are a few different options to choose from. Slicker brushes are a popular choice for short-haired breeds. These brushes have fine, closely-spaced wires that are great for removing tangles and mats.
Pin brushes are a good choice for medium to long-haired breeds. They have longer, more widely-spaced wires that are better at removing tangles without pulling on the hair. Combs, on the other hand, are great for working through tangles and mats and can be used on any coat.
Deshedding brushes are a necessity with long-haired breeds like Huskies, German Shepherds and Retrievers. We recommend the Furminator Long Hair deShedding Tool for Large Dogs due to its ergonomic handle and curved edge.
