Dog Brushes
Maintain your dog's coat healthy, shiny, and free from tangles with Artero’s range of professional dog grooming brushes. Designed for every coat type, our brushes help to remove loose hair, reduce shedding, detangle knots, and distribute natural oils for a well-conditioned coat. Whether for daily care or professional grooming, discover the perfect brush for your dog’s needs.
The Importance of Regular Brushing
Regular brushing is essential for keeping your dog's coat healthy and your pet comfortable. Using the right dog brush helps to remove dead hair, prevent matting, stimulate the skin, and reduce shedding all around your home. It also strengthens the bond between pet and owner while allowing early detection of any skin problems.
Types of Dog Brushes
Bristle Brushes
Perfect for short-haired breeds. Bristle brushes help remove dirt and loose hair while evenly spreading natural oils, leaving the coat clean and shiny.
Pin Brushes
Ideal for medium to long-haired coats, including breeds like Golden Retrievers or Spaniels. Pin brushes gently detangle and remove loose hair without damaging the coat.
Slicker Brushes
Essential for dogs with thick, curly, or long hair. The fine wire bristles of a slicker brush penetrate deep into the coat to remove tangles, mats, and dead hair effectively.
Undercoat Rakes
Designed for double-coated breeds like Huskies, German Shepherds, or Collies. These brushes reach the undercoat to remove loose hair and minimise shedding during moulting seasons.
How to Brush Your Dog Effectively
- Choose the Right Brush: Select a brush adapted to your dog’s coat type for effective and gentle grooming.
- Brush in Sections: Divide the coat and brush each part to avoid missing tangled or dense areas.
- Be Gentle: Use smooth strokes to avoid irritating sensitive skin. Pay attention to legs, behind ears, and under the belly.
- Establish a Routine: Long-haired or double-coated breeds may require daily brushing, while short-haired dogs benefit from regular sessions during the week.
Benefits of Regular Brushing
- Healthier Skin and Coat: Removes dirt, debris, loose hair and distributes natural oils.
- Reduces Shedding: Minimises hair around your home by removing dead fur during grooming.
- Prevents Matting: Essential for long or curly-haired breeds prone to knots and tangles.
- Bonding Moment: Brushing sessions can be relaxing and enjoyable for both groomer and dog.

What types of dog brushes does Artero offer?
Artero offers a wide range of dog brushes suitable for different coat types. From bristle brushes for short-haired dogs to slicker brushes and pin brushes for long-haired or double-coated breeds.
How do I choose the right brush for my dog's coat?
The right brush depends on your dog’s coat type. Bristle brushes are ideal for short, smooth coats, while pin or slicker brushes work best for long, thick, or curly coats. Artero provides specific brushes designed to remove loose hair and prevent tangles efficiently.
How often should I brush my dog?
Brushing frequency varies depending on the breed and coat type. Long-haired dogs may need daily brushing to avoid knots, while short-haired dogs can be brushed once or twice a week to remove loose hair and maintain coat health.
How should I clean and maintain my dog brush?
After each use, remove the collected hair from the brush. Wash the brush occasionally with warm water and mild soap, then let it air dry completely. Proper maintenance keeps the brush clean, hygienic, and in good condition.
What is the difference between a slicker brush and a bristle brush?
A slicker brush has fine, short wires close together, perfect for detangling and removing mats in long or curly coats. A bristle brush is better for short-haired breeds, helping to remove dirt and distribute natural oils.
Can I use the same brush for puppies and adult dogs?
Yes, but it’s advisable to use softer brushes for puppies to avoid skin irritation. Artero offers gentle brushes designed specifically for young dogs and sensitive skin.
Are Artero brushes suitable for dogs with sensitive skin?
Absolutely. Artero has brushes with soft tips or flexible pins that are gentle on sensitive skin while effectively removing loose hair and dirt.
How do I prevent hair matting in long-haired dogs?
Regular brushing is key. Use a slicker or pin brush daily to prevent tangles and mats, especially behind the ears, legs, and under the collar area.
What are the benefits of brushing my dog regularly?
Brushing improves coat health, removes loose hair and dirt, prevents matting, stimulates blood circulation, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog.
