RYAN'S PET SUPPLIESPaw Brothers Professional Grade Extra Long Slicker Brush - Ergonomic Handle, Removes Loose Undercoat and Tangles for Dogs

I bought the Paw Brothers Professional Grade Extra Long Slicker Brush for my golden retriever, and it has been a game-changer! The extra-long pins reach deep into his thick coat, making it easy to remove loose undercoat and tangles without causing discomfort.The ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold, even during long grooming sessions, and the brush does a fantastic job of keeping his fur looking smooth and healthy. It’s durable, well-made, and way more effective than other brushes I’ve tried. If you have a long-haired or double-coated dog, this brush is a must-have! Highly recommend!

I wish I had found this brush sooner. I have 3 labradoodles and have always kept their coats short because most slicker brushes don't go deep enough to prevent matting when their coats become long. This brush does the job and does it well. I have an elderly girl who's coat has thinned and tends to have sensitive skin, of my 3 she was the only one who didn't like it but to be fair she doesn't care for any brushing unless it's done by hand (petting her)Having 3 labradoodles can become costly when it comes to professional grooming and I'm glad that I decided to invest in a nice set of clippers and a few blades as well as guards (andis agc 2 speed, cuts like butter even through matting), a grooming table found on local resale site for $30, good shampoo (Plum silky concentrated conditioning shampoo) this shampoo smells amazing and keeps them smelling nice for over a week and since it's concentrated a bottle really last so I find it more economical than the cheap ones found at most retailers. Oh, also purchased a pet blow dryer for under 100 that is amazing. This brush was the last thing I needed to complete what I feel is necessary to keep my trio looking, smelling, and feeling their best. The cost i incurred is about equivalent to taking all 3 to a groomer. For those who think they can't do it, you can. Especially if you've got a dog or dogs that require a lot of grooming needs (doodles, poodles, etc) if you messaged up, it's ok! Their hair grows pretty quickly and unlike us humans their egos aren't an issue. They'll still love you as you learn even if you make them look ugly a few times

Unfortunately, a lot of people get "doodle" breed dogs thinking that since they are low shedding that they are also low maintenance. That's only true if you plan on having them come home from the groomer looking like a shaved rat. If you want a fluffy doodle that is tangle free with a long coat and healthy skin, you need to brush them out regularly, preferably daily. That requires specific tools including a steel comb and slicker brush. From my experience, most metal combs are pretty similar, but there is a BIG difference in slicker brushes out there on the market today. Trust me, I have over 6 different brands of slicker brush and 3 different metal combs. I also recommend some sort of grooming table, as it will save your back and be easier and safer for your dog. At this point I use the metal comb, this slicker brush, and my Chris Christensen slicker brush to maintain my dog's coat daily between regular grooming (every 3-4 weeks).This brush is much stiffer than other slicker brushes I have. It's perfect for areas like the legs, feet, and behind the tail where mats tend to form. If you go very slow and careful with the brushing and stay on top of the grooming, it's a painless and enjoyable bonding experience for both you and your dog!After brushing out the problem areas with this stiff Paw Brothers slicker brush, I will comb over the area with my metal comb to make sure no tangles remain.Last, I use the Chris Christensen brush to finish up because it's much softer and good for fluffing up the dog and making her look great. The Chris Christensen brush is too soft though to get out the underlying tangles in a very long coat though, which is why this Paw Brothers brush is so good.My only complaint, is that because the brush is so stiff, it's a little difficult to get the hair out of it. On my Chris Christensen brush I can run my comb through it and vacuum it up to pick up the hair, but this one stays pretty messy. Not too big a deal for most people but I'm a little OCD and don't like to leave hair everywhere.When I first brought home my Goldendoodle, I had already done all the research and thought I was well prepared by buying the most expensive grooming tools (Chris Christensen). But as her coat got longer and more difficult to manage, my groomer suggested I try out this inexpensive brush, which I think is a steal and excellent value. It has been a game changer and shaved off 15 minutes from daily brushing. You don't need $100 brushes to maintain your dog, just time and patience. You can get both this brush and a metal comb for like $20 or so combined and it will be enough to maintain your doodle!Hope this was helpful and good luck maintaining your goldendoodle!!

This brush works great for my English Chocolate Lab. She has a really thick undercoat and this gets way in there to get that hair out. It works way better than a furminator brush on her. The only thing that is hard is getting all the hair out of the brush.

Love it! Sturdy and effective!

Cute tiny little thing. Perfect for my 14 lb poodles face and paws.

“ These slicker brushes are a game-changer for my Aussiedoodle and Labradoodle! They detangle, remove mats, and leave their coats looking shiny and healthy. The extra-long design is perfect for reaching all areas. Highly recommend for any doodle owner!" 5 stars!
