It must feel good, because when we get to this part of the grooming session, they always lower their heads and close their eyes. They love having their faces brushed with a super soft brush! And I did get this brush in one of my Saddle Box subscription boxes, and I couldn’t be happier! Finishing Brush Overall, this is just a really nice brush. It's lightweight yet sturdy and comfortable to hold. The stainless steel pins have safety tips for gentle brushing, and the nylon bristles are soft yet stiff enough to do some good hair removal. Measuring 12 inches long and 3 inches wide, the brush is well-sized for small to large dogs. However, it's not suited to the job of grooming toy breeds. For that, consider the Burt's Bees Double-Sided brush.

Burt's Bees Double-Sided Pin & Hemp Bristle Brush: The Burt's Bees brush is attractive, but it's very small and it was clunky to use and the hemp bristles felt almost too stiff.

Not only did the gloves remove a lot of loose hair, but she lay down on her side and was happy for me to continue brushing all over her body. A combo brush is two brushes in one: a pin brush and a soft-bristle brush. Use the pin side to brush out tangles and remove loose hair. The bristle side works well for short-haired dogs such as dachshunds, pit bulls, and Chihuahuas.

Then there is the very rare Long Coat Dalmatian. These long-haired dogs number in the low hundreds worldwide, and if you have one, you know that there is some room to style parts of their coats. At the least, you will need to occasionally trim their leg, ear, tail, and "beard" hair as it gets longer than the rest of the coat, is prone to tangles, and is best styled in a feathered fashion. The beard hair needs only be kept from getting so long as to be unmanageable. While a "beard" trim seems simple and easy, it can just as easily look off-balance if not done properly. Let a groomer do it and show you how until you are ready to do it right. The five-finger design allowed me to gently brush all over, including her head, face, body, legs, and tail, while the soft rubber nodules gently collected fur. The Velcro wrist straps kept the gloves secure on my hands.For best results, brush in the direction of hair growth.We really like the Groomer's Best Combo Brush from Hartz. It's great for dogs of many coat types and convenient if you have two dogs with different types of hair. I tested this brush on a miniature poodle and a Labrador retriever. Only the pin brush side was useful for the poodle coat, but the Labrador coat benefited from both sides.

By producing a massage-like effect, the brushing helps to promote blood flow to the skin’s surface.

It has been my experience that any soft rag or towel can be used as a final rub rag. And what I like to do is take my old towels and washcloths and use them as rub rags for my horses. It is an affordable alternative to buying “real” rub rags, and they work just as good. Brushes Need Care Too
