brush recommendations please
in Pets
We have two shih-tzus and I'm looking for a recommendation for a brush for them. I bought what i thought the vet recommended and it created static (I think I might have gotten the wrong one) . I tried a few others with my last shih-tzu and never found one I really liked.
what would you use?
Re: brush recommendations please
I would use a pin brush without the heads. I love Chris Christensen brand brushes and have seen shih tzus at shows groomed with them as well. They are expensive but worth it and last for a long time. Also for the static, you want to brush a coat that has been misted with water or a diluted conditioner. If you brush a dry coat, you can definitely get static, so try misting each area of the coat before you groom. The article that the previous poster posted has the same advice and I agree with that area about grooming on the dog on their side. It takes time to teach but it really helps grooming.
