Curly coats
Doodles, poodles and friends knot easily. Brush right down to the skin a few times a week with a slicker brush, then check with a comb.
Silky coats
Yorkies, Maltese and Shih Tzus tangle behind the ears and under the legs. A gentle daily brush and comb keeps them smooth.
Short coats
Beagles and Labradors shed. A rubber brush once or twice a week lifts loose hair and gives them a nice shine.
Cats
Long-haired cats need a gentle comb a few times a week. Short-haired cats often enjoy a soft brush as a bit of company time.
Make it a treat
Short sessions, lots of praise and a treat at the end. Brushing should feel like a cuddle, not a chore.
