Slicker brushes explained and how to use them correctly.

Slicker brushes are an important piece of dog grooming equipment for both professional groomers and home groomers. Slicker brushes help remove knots and tangles in your dogs coat. Choosing the correct slicker brush for your dogs coat type is important to help maintain healthy skin and coat.

Thankyou for your videos. Very generous of you. Just one thing: can you add links to the descriptions so that we can buy the tools that you recommend?

@4:10 - Anyone else want to kiss that dog directly on the crown of the head?

Hi Melanie, thanks so much for this video. I have learnt so much from it. Have never used a slicker but think it would be a great detangling tool for my westies as they get easily matted. I have a six month old and three year old and both they and I are new to this. Which slicker do you recommend? Also which spray would you suggest? Does it help with detangling also? Thanks again for all your info. Mindy

Hi I own a cavoodle he is on the small size around six kilos I own a slicker very similar to the artero one with the wooden handle on your site is that good enough or do you recommend another one as I am going to order the small Matt breaker and face comb and conditioner

[yvonne]

Hi Melanie. I have a 20 weeks old Maltese Shihtzu puppy and a Magic sheer slicker brush. I was told not to use slicker brushes because the pins can cause the hair to split. Is this true? Thank you:)

What’s the best slicker for toy Goldendoodle

[tylerappleget]

Which one of these should I use for my long haired pomsky he just has big chunks of hair falling out from his undercoat and I have been trying to find a more comfortable and correct brush for him.
- thanks, Tyler

Which slicker would you use for a Lagotto ? I don't have a long coat on my boy, and use a rotating teeth comb, but haven't used slickers. Thanks 😊

Hi Melanie.
Excellent video, what would you recommend for lagotto romagnolo, Belle and Bow are still puppies, something that is suitable for puppies and a slicker for when they adults please, any help will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance :)

Why are the first two double sided? Are the sides different? and what's the benefit of it being flexible?

Where can buy the sheer magic slicker from

[billwhite]

I bought the Artero protected tooth brush for our bichon/poodle mix when he was a puppy based on your video.. It worked like a charm on his soft puppy hair and it was a good choice.
But now that he's getting to be almost 9 months old, his coat is getting a little longer/heavier/curlier and that brush doesn't seem to do the job as well.
Which brush would you recommend for the next stage?
Thank you!

I got lost on what brush you were referring to. Perhaps stay the name - explain - pause - repeat.
