How to Use:A slicker brush consists of many long steel bristles that look like needles. These are great for dogs with double coats, and their steel bristles are effective at removing dead hair. As the slicker brushes gently through the hairs, it's easy to wrap the dead hairs around the metal bristles. Owners should be careful when using the slicker brush as the needles can irritate sensitive skin if applied too hard.
How to Clean:After grooming, use a small bristle brush to gently shake out any pet hair between the needles. If needed, use a damp towel or paper towel to wipe any remaining hair from the slicker brush. It's best to wash and dry it after each use.
A Warm Reminder When Grooming
If your pet hasn't been groomed in a while, or if you're replacing a frequently used brush with a new one, prepare some tasty training food before grooming to help your pet adjust to the changes as quickly as possible.
When you try to groom, many puppies will think you're playing with them and will often wriggle to try to grab the brush,even though these tools look a little different from their favorite gnawing tory.
From puppy to adult, be diligent in handling your dog's hair, gently correct it if your pet tries to get away from playing or playing with the brush, and don't forget to reward your pet with verbal encouragement and a tasty treat for good behavior.
When grooming, to remove as much dead hair as possible, you should first brush along the texture of the hair, then gently brush against the direction of the hair a few time, to make the hair more fluffy, and then brush along the hair, so that a few times, to achieve the goal.
While grooming your pet, start with him in a sitting position and finish with him standing up and grooming his hips and legs. Keep a trash bag near you to collect any grooming.
