- Check for ticks as you brush
You may notice the bugs themselves or small black flecks. - Determine how often you need to brush
Most short coats require weekly brushing, but longer coats may require daily attention. - For smooth, short coats
Use a rubber brush, then a bristle brush, and then polish with a chamois cloth. - For short, dense coats
Use a slicker brush to remove tangles, followed by a bristle brush. - For long coats
Use a slicker brush to remove tangles and be very gentle when removing mats. Then follow it with a bristle brush. - Don’t forget the tail and feet
Particularly for dogs with longer coats.
