Slicker Brushes and Deshedding

A slicker brush is a fur tool that helps to brush through the dog's coat, and it is invaluable when the dog is shedding. The slicker brush effectively removes loose fur and dirt from the dog's coat. Here you will find slicker brushes and fur scrapers from well-known brands.

Why use slicker and deshedding brushes?

When you groom the dog's coat, you help to spread natural fats and oils through fur and skin, the blood circulation is stimulated, ticks and parasites can be detected and the dog gets a cozy moment of coat care. Regular care of the coat means that the dog sheds less and thus you avoid large amounts of dog hair at home. Different dog breeds have different needs when it comes to coat care - here you will find slicker brushes and fur scrapers that fit all dog breeds regardless of how short or long the coat is. You may have a dog that needs to be brushed daily, or a dog that only needs to be combed a little when the fur gets tangled. A fur scraper makes it easy to care for the dog's coat when it sheds.

Slicker brushes and fur scrapers are two fur tools with the main task of removing loose fur when the dog sheds. Most dogs shed mainly during spring and autumn. A bitch who is in heat, is lactating or is pregnant can shed during other periods. When the coat is shed, it is "dead" fur that comes loose to give room for new fur. Here you can help the dog get rid of the loose fur by brushing with a slicker brush or fur scraper. Some breeds do not require as much maintenance; short-haired and wire hair dogs for example. But these still need to be groomed to keep coat and skin healthy. If a dog with longer coat is not brushed regularly, tangles can be formed, which can be painful because it pulls on the skin. So make sure you take care of your dog's coat regularly based on the type of coat it has.
