Best Overall Of all the dog brushes we tested, the Furminator Deshedding Tool was an overall favorite. It feels well-made, with a grippy ergonomic handle and durable stainless steel teeth. The teeth removed a substantial amount of loose hair from the undercoat of the dog we tested it on.

Either a slicker brush or pin brush should do the trick. The pin brush may be a tad more effective, but make sure the brush is not sharp. To get Reya used to being brushed, brush her just 2 minutes a day, going over a different section each time.

It's generally recommended to brush your dog's coat when it is dry. Brushing a wet coat can potentially cause more tangling and matting, especially in long-haired breeds. Wet hair is more prone to breakage, and brushing may be less effective in removing loose hair and preventing mats.

Bristle brush This brush is best for doggies with short or wiry coats. The bristles remove debris and leave a nice shine.
