There are many brushes on the market and not every brush is the best for all dogs. The size of the brush you should use to brush your dog depends on your dog's size and coat type.
It is recommended for small dogs with short hair, that a soft-bristled brush with a small head be used. For medium-sized dogs with medium-length hair, a medium-size slicker or pin brush is recommended. For large dogs with long hair, a larger slicker brush or pin brush with longer bristles is appropriate.
It's best to consult your veterinarian about the best type and size of brush you should use for your dog.
