Small Slicker Brush

Product Description

Different types of dogs require different types of brushes.

The slicker brush is designed for the primary purpose of removing any loose hair, dead skin, dirt mats, or knots and thins the undercoat for dogs and cats. The teeth will smooth the coat and leave a polished, well-groomed finish. The slicker brush is typically used on medium to long-haired animals with wiry, thick or curly hair. The fine wire bristles are packed tightly together and are at a slight angle as to not scratch the skin of the animal.

This brush is ideal for long/medium hiar breeds, curly coats, thick coats and/or dogs that shed a lot.

It is important to be gentle when using this bursh on your animal. First, spray a small amount of water over the pet's coat. Start with short strokes against the direction of hair growth and finish by brushing in the direction of hair growth to smooth the overall coat (note: if your animal has longer hair, lift the brush as little as you work on your way through). If you reach any large knots, it is advisable to get these out using a metal comb and then continue with the slicker brush. Once the body is done, you can use a soft bristle brush for the face and ears, followed by a pin brush on the body to get the fur looking smooth and shiny.

Always clean your brush after each use. Remove the bulk of the hair and soak for approximately 10 minutes in hot water with soap or a pet-safe disinfectant. Dry the brush and store away until next use. 

This Wahl pet brush is designed with a soft gel handle that moulds to the shape of your hand, giving it the ultimate non-slip grip for comfort and control.

Note: We offer 3 different sized sliver brush. The large and medium are for larger areas/coarse coats, and the small is for smaller areas/ lighter jobs/ tough matting. Please ensure you have clicked on the right size before purchasing.
