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.
