This comb trims out the undercoat to remove loose fur without pulling.

It\u2019s perfect for delicate areas such as underarms or paws. The soft slicker brush is one of the few brushes recommended for curly haired dogs to fluff their fur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now that we have had a quick rundown on the basic brushes, here are the coat types used for each brush.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There are 4 different basic dog coat types. It\u2019s important to know what brush is used for what coat. You wouldn\u2019t want to use the same brush for a collie as you would a poodle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Each breed has a unique coat. Use these specific brushes to meet their needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/gp-tools-brushes-curved-soft-slicker-brushes.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"shedding, dog grooming tools\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dog Brush for Long Coats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Long coats can either be silky or course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Bearded collies, St. Bernards, and Huskies are all examples of dogs that have long, coarse coats. These coats need to be brushed every day or every other day to prevent matting of the undercoat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A slicker brush would be a good option for long-haired dogs because the wires are close together on a flat surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s important to remember to use caution when using a slicker brush. Because of the stiff wires placed close together, they can cause discomfort if you use too much pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Another suggestion for a dog brush for long coats is a rake. Choose a rake that has bristles about the same length as your dog\u2019s coat. Too short of bristles and it won\u2019t do its job, and bristles too long will irritate your dog\u2019s skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Silky coat breeds include Afghan Hound, Pekingese, and Setters. These dogs will require the same brushes as long, coarse coat dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The difference will be the spacing between the bristles and the length of the bristles. The longer the coat, the more spacing there should be between the bristles. Also for silky coats, the bristles can be more flexible, compared to stiffer bristles for coarse coats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>You can also try a pin brush. Pin brushes work great on long, silky coats. You\u2019ll find a lot of pin brushes at dog shows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/husky.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"dog grooming tools, shedding\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Smooth Coats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>These are short-haired dogs that do not need to be brushed every day. They have short, smooth coats such as Boxers, Labradors, and German short-haired pointers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While long coats require the most maintenance, smooth coats require the least. Use a bristle brush every once in a while to keep the coat looking shiny and the shedding to a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Use this dog brush once going against the lay of the coat, then again going with the coat. This will keep the smooth coat looking shiny and healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Slicker brushes can also be used on short, smooth coats. Just be sure to get one with short bristles and be aware of the pressure applied when brushing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/labrador-shedding.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"shedding, dog grooming tools\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wiry Coats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>A wiry coat is what you will find on Schnauzers, Irish Wolfhounds, and most Terriers. The wire coat can also be known as the broken coat. These require plucking to prevent mats and tangles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Use a slicker brush and a stripping comb. Stripping combs are particularly useful for wire coats because of their widely spaced stainless steel wires that will strip and detangle in one step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Start with a stripping comb and run it along the back of the dog. This will thin out the overgrown coat and prevent mats and tangles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After thinning out the coat with the stripper comb, use a slicker brush to brush the coat in layers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/wiry-coat.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"shedding, dog grooming tools\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Curly Coats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Curly coats are a type of coat that grows constantly and should be trimmed or cut regularly. These coats are found in breeds such as Poodles, Spanish Water Dogs, and the Bedlington Terrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Because they are non-shedding dogs, curly coat dogs do not need to be brushed very often. The best dog brush to use is a soft slicker brush. Use the soft slicker brush to go against the fur to make it fluff up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/pet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/dog-curly.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"shedding, dog grooming tools\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Brush Shedding Dogs With Confidence<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>After reading our quick dog brush guide, you will be able to brush any dog coat with confidence.
