Pin brushes and metal combs are what I use on the yorkies that I groom. I have never and will never use a slicker brush. Those things HURT!!!!!!!!! |
I have a slicker brush and a pin brush. |

I can't find a pin brush! All of them I see have little balls on the ends. Some don't have rubber or something balls and some have just tiny numbs of the same material as the pins at the end, but every brush has something. Could it be that the little numbs are OK? I've check Petsmart in Springfield and all the local outlets. Even the websites show them with numbs. What gives? |
Theres some on this website http://www.chrissystems.com/ |
Look for brushes by PSI , you can order them from almost any pet supply on the internet, I shop a lot at JBpets. Here is the link for the pin brushes http://www.jbpet.com/Shopping/produc...ct_id=204-0104 I have and use all the sizes listed here. PSI English Wire Pin Brushes are preferred by many groomers, they are well made with rust resistant pins set into a rubber pneumatic cushion. • Comfortable mahogany colored wooden handles, fitted with eye hook hangers. • An excellent pocket brush. • Please choose style. A. Large - 13 rows of pins, measures 8 3/4”. B. Medium - 12 rows of pins, oval wooden handle. C. Toy - Oval wooden handle, 9 rows of pins, measures 6 1/4” long. D. Oblong - 7 rows of pins, oblong/rectangular wooden handle. |
a pin brush when damp and then a natural bristle (boar hair) brush works wonders! i get my boar bristle brushes at sally beauty supply. they are of great quality and costs half what you would pay for one marketed just for dogs... combs are great for doing the topknot, but i like using a straight pin brush on the body... |
"hindes" makes a good quality pin brush (without ball tips) i have about 7 of them and all are holding up good. |
WOW! Lots of different view points here. I use the slicker brush since I had been told by 3 different groomers to use it. I don't push down hard when brushing them because I don't want to scratch their skin. My yorkies seem fine with it. I've had great success in getting out tangles using one. I bought a stainless steel comb today and will try it out tonight. Also, the pin brushed with the balls ARE bad because I broke off a lot of hair with it before I got smart. But with the slicker, like I said, I was never told differently and this is the first that I'm hearing of it. Not that anyone is wrong just that it's new to me. |
