Often, the dog will simply think that you're petting them, not actually doing any grooming. You can also use a natural-brush bristle or soft slicker brush. Both of these work nicely to remove loose hair and dirt. Very short-haired dogs, like some Terriers, will need a slicker brush.
What brush can I use for my dog?
Slicker brush: The most common brush that works for most coats is the slicker brush. The short, bent, wire or plastic bristles grab and remove loose undercoat. Frequent use helps prevent tangles and matting. Bristle brush: Bristle brushes have soft, straight bristles on a flat base.
Do you need a special brush for dogs?
The brush you choose depends on the type of hair your dog has. Dogs with short, smooth coats need a soft bristle brush, rubber curry brush or grooming glove. Dogs with medium-length coats can use a slicker brush or pin brush. Dogs with long coats need a pin brush or slicker brush.
