Brushes

Bristle brushes

Bristle brushes have soft synthetic or natural bristles that remove loose hair and distribute the natural oils across your dog’s coat. This gives the coat a beautiful shine. These brushes are therefore also frequently used for dogs that take part in shows. They are intended solely for coat care and are not suitable for detangling the coat.

Examples of bristle brushes:

Some examples of bristle brushes in our range are the Trixie Wooden Brush, the Beeztees Grooming Brush with a rubber grip in small or large, or the Hunter Grooming Brush Extra Soft, which is specially designed for dogs with sensitive skin.

Pin brush

Pin brushes are somewhat similar to the brushes that we humans often use. These brushes are particularly suitable for dogs with long hair and are used to remove tangles from the coat. The pins in these brushes are often set into a rubber base, which provides extra flexibility so that you need to apply less pressure.

Examples of pin brushes:

Some examples include the Mikkie Bamboo Ball Pin Brush, which is eco-friendly and specially designed for sensitive skin. Its bamboo handle sits comfortably in the hand, making brushing even easier. There is also the Hunter Self-Cleaning Grooming Brush, which allows you to remove all the hair from the brush at the press of a button. If you are looking for a glove for brushing your dog, there is also the Trixie Coat Care Glove.

Combination brushes are also available, such as the Trixie Double-Sided Brush, with a bristle brush on one side and a pin brush on the other. Another example of a combination brush is the Hunter Combination Brush, which is available in small or large!

Slicker brushes

Slicker brushes have fine, curved metal hooks. They are ideal for removing tangles and are suitable for dogs with thick, long or curly coats, such as Poodles. However, the metal hooks are sharp, so take care to groom your dog gently with this brush.

Examples of slicker brushes:

Some examples of slicker brushes in our range are the Beeztees Slicker Brush, available in small, medium or large, and the Moser Slicker Brush with an ergonomic handle.

Rubber brushes

Rubber brushes are primarily suitable for removing loose hair from short-haired or smooth-coated dogs. You can also use these brushes to remove hair from surfaces such as the sofa. An additional benefit is that you can give your dog a pleasant massage with this brush. These brushes are not suitable for detangling the coat.

Examples of rubber brushes

One cheerful rubber brush is the Pet+me Brush, available in different versions for dogs, cats and rabbits. This 4-in-1 brush can brush, massage, clean and remove hair from surfaces. Other examples are the Nobby Grooming Glove and the Mikke Massage Slicker.

Combs

The wide-toothed comb

Wide-toothed combs are used on long-haired dogs to remove tangles without damaging the skin. These combs provide a good, comfortable grip and have long teeth.

Examples of wide-toothed combs:

An example of a comfortable wide-toothed comb is the Trixie Metal Comb or the Miki Anti Tangle Comb Thick Coat. Wide-toothed combs with rotating teeth are also available to make detangling even easier. An example of this type of comb is the Hunter Rotating Grooming Comb.

The medium- or fine-toothed comb

These combs are often used to detangle the coat and remove the undercoat. This comb is also used to check for tangles.

Examples of fine-toothed combs:

A good example of a fine-toothed comb is the Beeztees Grooming Comb with rotating teeth.

Flea/detangling comb

This comb is used to catch and remove fleas because its teeth are positioned very close together. The comb is suitable for dogs whose coats quickly become matted or tangled.

Examples of flea/detangling combs

Examples of these combs include the Mikki Flea Comb and the Hunter Flea Comb.

Other types of tools

Undercoat rakes

These rakes detangle the coat and remove loose hair. They are particularly suitable for removing loose undercoat. When using these rakes, make sure that you do not touch the skin to prevent damage.

Examples of rakes

Some examples of rakes are the Beestees Curry Comb with Single Rotating Tooth and the Hunter Double Anti-Tangle Comb.
