The 2 in 1 Brush is a great all-rounder. The longer bristles of the pin brush are perfect for medium-to-long haired dogs and are gentle on curls. This side of the brush will help to detangle minor knots and mats. The bristle brush on the other side is great for shorter haired coats, like miniature dachshunds, and will aid in the removal of lose fur and dirt from on top of the coat. Regularly brushing with a bristle brush can increase the oil production in your dog’s skin, which can help to reduce excessive shedding and improve your dog’s overall coat shine.
