Four Paws Magic Coat Puppy Gentle Slicker Brush

The Four Paws Magic Coat Puppy Gentle Slicker Brush is a slicker with softer, finer pins than an adult brush, sized for a puppy. Most puppy coats barely need brushing, which is exactly why this is the right time to start.

Key Features

• Softer, finer pins than an adult slicker
• Small head sized for a puppy
• Light enough to be used with almost no pressure
• Part of the Four Paws Magic Coat grooming range

Start Before You Need To

• A puppy coat rarely mats. The adult coat that replaces it often does, and by then it is too late to start teaching a dog to stand still
• Thirty seconds a day with a treat afterwards, from the week they arrive, is the whole method
• Handle the feet, the ears and the tail at the same time. Those are the places a groomer or a vet will need to touch later

Using A Slicker Without Scratching

• Keep the strokes light and let the tips do the work. Pressing a slicker into the skin causes the red graze groomers call slicker burn
• Hold the brush loosely and flick at the end of each stroke rather than dragging through
• Short-coated dogs rarely need a slicker at all. They are for coats with an undercoat or a woolly texture

Making Grooming Easy

• Short, frequent sessions beat long ones. A minute a day with treats builds a pet that tolerates grooming for life
• Work in the direction the coat grows and stop before your pet has had enough. Ending on a good moment is what buys you the next session
• Clean the tool out as you go. A brush clogged with hair stops reaching the coat and starts dragging on it
