Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

[Isadora]

@chickentrains What kind of brush do you think is best for a dog with short fine fur? I've looked at brushes a couple of times at the feed store, they usually only have a couple of options and they all look way too aggressive for a dog with such short fur. I don't normally brush her, but she's shedding a little bit right now.
I do have one of those silicone type brushes that kind of look like the ones you groom horses with, it doesn't seem overly effective though.

I use a curry comb. For horses, the rubber kind. Works great for me... Idk why it wouldn't for you. Maybe try a different brand?

I would try a different one, I use a zoom groom or ones that are meant for cleaning dishes, they work really well
