Just a note about the cushion softness: The cushion firmness/softness are very slight. You cannot tell the difference of the very soft & soft unless you were looking for it. The standard soft is significantly firmer than the soft. The softer the brush, the more 'give' it has, so it will glide through tangles. If your Pup is very sensitive to tangles & mats, the soft brushes are recommended since the pins do not get caught on the mat. But you can feel & hear it, so you can go in w/a comb & work it out. If your fur baby tolerates brushing & gets tangles from wearing clothes or a harness, choosing a firmer brush is recommended. The firmer brush pins & cushion does not move as freely as the softer brushes, thus gets caught in the tangles. The pins are able to penetrate stubborn mats & it will brush it out.
Turbo is ultra sensitive & any little tug or pull will have him crawling up my arm. When I use the Blue brush on him, he'll sit there content like he's getting a massage, but it does not brush out tangles. He has thin cottony hair & he tangles easily around the legs, neck (from harness) & around the ears & head (from doing the killer shake whenever he plays w/his toys). He also hates combs! I try to be super gentle, a hair or 2 will get pulled & send him whimpering up my arm. Whenever he sees a comb, he either hides under the bed or goes into his house. So, I have to use the Small brush on him to remove the tangles. I line brush & when I encounter a tangle, I pinch the hair closest to his skin & brush it out. I also keep him in a puppy cut since he tangles so easily. It also helps tremendously if the high rubbing areas: arm pits, under belly & inner legs are shaved, since that area is sensitive.
Hope that makes sense! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have, I'll be happy to help.

Hi Tammy, you can also go w/the Red or Purple (cushion is slightly softer than Black), also the Small (similar to Black) or Oblong (slightly firmer than Black). It will be ok for all your fur babies. I use the small & oblong the most on mine.

It does not matter, it's a color choice. The Small are all one cushion firmness. The New colors Apple Green & Lavender will be a soft cushion.
