There are many pin brushes for dogs in the market. Most pin brushes available from chain stores will work on shorter coats, but they may not be very effective on longer coats especially when they have soft pads and pins that aren't smooth.
So which brushes are the best? The answer is: it depends on many things!
First it's important to determine the type of dog's hair/coat.
- Is it wire, cotton or silky?
- Is it single coated or double coated?
- How long is the coat?
What should you look for in a brush for a long-coated dog?
- longer pins
- polished or beveled tips
The rest depends on the dog's coat and its groomer's preference!
In the upcoming weeks, I will outline how to determine:
- length of pins, and
- firmness of the pad
