Brushes for cats and dogs

There are probably hundreds of different dog brushes on the market, but what do you really need? For the basic equipment, we recommend a pin brush, a natural bristle brush, and a slicker brush.

The Pin Brush untangles the coat and removes dirt, leaves and sticks that your dog may bring along from the walk, the natural bristle brush removes dust and brings shine into the coat, and the Slicker Brush helps with severe knots while removing loose hair and undercoat.
