Safari Soft Slicker Brush for Dogs

The folks at Chewy went and measured the grooming brush to be sure I got the right one. I already purchased a Safari medium brush, but my Annie is a small cat, only 9 pound at 13 years. I wanted a smaller one to get between her ears and easily brush her head and chin. This brush is perfect.

Bought this for my Australian shepherd puppy to get her used to brushing. The size is great for her and the tips are coated so they are soft. I don’t think this brush would be great at removing mats because the bristles do bend easily but it’s - great start for her.

I wanted a brush that would work great for a puppy to get him used to grooming. This works great. It gets the job done without scratching him or pulling too much on his fur. He doesn't hate it, but he looks very confused each time I brush him. It puffs out his puppy coat a bit more and makes him look extra fluffy. I love it!

Our groomer gave us a (free) slicker brush, but it seemed rough. It was also large enough to be better for the dog that weighs over 70 pounds than the one who weighs 16. I wanted a slicker brush that was small enough for our Havanese mix, that got knots out without making me cringe while I brushed him and worked for those small spots--his hind quarters and legs--that will knot up if I only use a pin brush. This fits the bill. I know I'm not hurting him (I'm pretty sure I didn't hurt him with the other brush--these covered tips might do more for me than Smokey), it's the right size, it's inexpensive and it's comfortable for me to hold. Oh, and he discovered the head is surrounded by aluminum and Our groomer gave us a (free) slicker brush, but it seemed rough.

I bought this based on other reviews mentioning the type of hair it could be used on. My dog is a poodle mix and this brush goes through his hair well.

Just brush was very good on removing the loose hairs on my Chihuahua and he seem to care for it too and it didn’t hurt him when I brushed him

I have shelties who need constant grooming. I bought this one because I felt another brush, same brand, and the needles were very soft feeling as the base of the brush allowed it to move more. This isn’t the same brush I saw but I still like it, works well for my Aussie puppy but I wouldn’t/can’t use it on my full grown sheltie, too much hair. I like that the needles are covered with a small round dot, don’t hurt short haired animals skin.

My Shih Tzu really likes this brush. It's soft and doesn't pull or get stuck in his thick double coat.

This is the perfect size brush for my small dog. She loves being brushed and it makes me happy to get rid of the fir.

This is one of the best brushes around. I have an old one that lasted a long time on my 3 dogs & now in 3 cats! Was time for new one.
