Basics - Grooming Brushes and Combs for Small Dogs

Here are the basic brushes and combs for small dogs. If you bought one of my
Special Reports, look for the recommended products.

If you don't have a report, try the double grooming brush and comb made for Toy breeds.
It's a nice tool for any small dog.

Rule of thumb: If your dog has a long coat, the brush you use should have a long pin or bristle.
The shorter the dog's coat, the shorter the bristle or pin.

This product is used by veterinarians and professional groomers for dogs with sensitive skin and coats. Removes mats, tangles, and dead and unwanted hair.

Do be careful, however. While this product removes dead coat and helps prevent shedding, if used too vigorously any slicker may cause the coat to be prone to static and matting.

Nice ergonomic handle. $11.99

Finishing Touch Pin Small Brush for Dogs (Small; Pin)

Use Finishing Touch Pin Brush for daily coat care. Perfect for grooming dogs with sensitive skin. Beautifully finishes your dog's coat because it distributes healthy naturally oils and stimulates skin.

Pin brushes look like they could easily damage a dog's coat or his skin but in reality, they do little damage to the hairshaft. Pin brushes are one tool that 99% of dog show handlers carry with them to dog shows.

While they don't remove dead hair as quickly or well as a slicker, they do a better job of detangling and separating the coat for easy drying.

Rounded pins for extra comfort. $7.99

Perfect for grooming dogs with sensitive skin. Superior quality natural bristles add lustrous shine and polish to your dog's coat while distributing healthy natural oils. Stimulates skin. $5.99
