Paw Brothers Professional Grade Extra Long Slicker Brush - Ergonomic Handle, Removes Loose Undercoat and Tangles for Dogs

I’ve used a lot of grooming tools over the years, and this slicker brush absolutely stands out. The extra-long stainless steel pins are the real deal—they get deep into the undercoat and pull out loose hair, tangles, and dirt with way less effort than other brushes I’ve tried. It’s amazing how much this thing pulls out, even on dogs that don’t look like they’re shedding. The ergonomic handle makes a big difference too. It’s comfortable, doesn’t slip, and lets you work longer without your hand getting tired. The flat slicker head is gentle but effective, so you’re not scratching or irritating your dog’s skin. What I really like is that it works on everything—thick coats, long coats, double coats—you name it. I’ve used it on multiple dogs and it performs equally well across the board. It feels like the kind of tool professional groomers use, and it’s built solid enough to last. If you’re looking for a high-quality slicker brush that actually does what it promises, this one is worth every penny. Highly recommend.

When I first opening the package I was worried it was too sharp and if I uses it wrong I thought I might hurt them. Boy was I wrong. I have 2 Great Pyrs with double coats. Not only did this brush do a great job tackling their undercoats, they were fighting over who would get brushed! They never had this response to other brushes I have used!

First off--PLEASE educate yourself on how to use a slicker brush properly before using this on an animal. It is NOT like using a pin-type brush. The pins of a slicker are sharp and will irritate the skin if you push down on the brush. This is universal to all slickers, not just this one, but if you try it and think there must be something wrong with the brush because your pet won't let you brush them--it's probably how you're using the brush, not the brush itself. I got this to use on my Newfie as she's growing her coat back out--she came to me having been clipped down by previous owners. It tangles up very easily and so she needs brushing A LOT. The longer pins are ideal for dogs with lots of coat. If you have 2 or 3 giant dogs with that much coat, this brush probably isn't going to hold up, and you should invest in a CC slicker (with the denser pins--makes for quicker work, in addition to a large working surface). If you're a professional groomer, you definitely need something on that level. But if you are a pet owner who is just maintaining your dog in between groomer visits and you can't quite stomach paying $50+ for one brush for your dog...this is probably the best option I've found. The quality is not poor, by any means, it just isn't super top-of-the-line, going to last for decades. At some point, you really do get what you pay for, but you should ask yourself, what kind of quality do you NEED? The handle is nicer than the handle of the universal-style slicker brushes ,where they're just a plastic cylinder with some ridges. It's got raised rubber bits for grip on the bottom and top of the handle, as well as on top of the slicker area and right at the base of the slicker area on the business side. This is really nice because it gives you traction to grasp the handle whether you're brushing with or against the coat, and the grip on top of the slicker can accommodate your index finger or your thumb, depending on how you want to hold the brush. Sometimes, it's nice just to have options and switch your hold if your wrist or hand is getting sore. Sometimes, you need to grip the brush a certain way to get the right angle against the dog you're brushing, who, even if very well-behaved, isn't generally 100% unmoving. I've been using this for over a month and it's holding up very well. I do feel like maybe the pins aren't set into the base as well as they could be--I have a few that seem to have bent at the base or look like they're trying to rotate? But then again, this brush has been knocked down a few times by 120 pounds of very enthusiastic dog, which might have something to do with it. I like the metal crimps holding the base with the pins down--it seems potentially sturdier than those with plastic housing. Like any slicker brush, you're generally going to have to clean hair out of it with a comb. If a ton of coat is stuck onto it, you can roll it down, off the pins, but it's more effective as a brush if it's not full of hair already. Do NOT try to pull small amounts of hair off with your fingers. The pins are a great length for cuticle-stabbing. (It's so tempting to try if you forgot to grab the comb, but DON'T DO IT! Trust me!) I've also used this on my GSD/Aussie/Collie/Chow/a bunch of other breeds mix who, while he doesn't have anywhere near as much hair as a Newfie, has a TON of undercoat (thank you, Chow heritage!) It pulls out that undercoat SO WELL and he tolerates it much better than he does any other brushes. I only gave it 4 of 5 stars in easy to clean and easy to use, but that's really just because it's a slicker brush--it's not any harder to clean than any other slicker I've had with pins this long (the shorter pinned ones, you can usually get away with cleaning them with your fingers more), and it's no harder to use than any other similar brush. It's just not necessarily an inborn skill, how to brush with one of these correctly. So if you're new to slicker brushing, do yourself and your pet a favor, check out some instructional videos or ask your groomer, breeder, mentor, whoever to show you how to do it correctly to keep from scratching the skin.

I have ordered 2 of these brushes in the past year. They both held up well (I had to buy the 2nd one because I lost the first). I recommend these brushes for toy poodles, as I have 2 and they need to be brushed daily to prevent matting. The price point is phenomenal for the quality. The brush is sturdy and the pins stay in well even through bad tangles. The handle is comfortable and easy to hold. My girls are under 5 pounds and I start brushing softly and work my way closer down to their skin, doing light strokes as to not hurt them. They do not dislike being brushed when I do it this way and initially was hesitant about using long hard pins on them for fear it would be painful and thought soft pins would be the way to go, but that isn’t the case and I am very happy with this type of brush. My girls never cry or wince or try to escape from it. They are not afraid of it and it really detangles very well compared to other slicker brushes around the same price point I have used. My only suggestion would be to make the “extra long pin” brush in a smaller size. It’s a little difficult to use on my dog’s legs and hard-to-reach areas. I know there is a smaller brush offered but it has soft pins instead. I would love the same size as the small offering with the extra long hard pins.

Its ok. It gets hair off but I've had better. Getting the hair out isn't as easy as my last brush. It works.

I have 3 huskyis 2 or 3 like this. I can brush inside with out the usual mess. Huskies owner will know what that means. Keeps the hair nice and tight and together in brush unlike the other 3 brush I have. Does well taking under coat out of dogs. 1 down side. Hard and little sharp to get hair out of metal pins for my fingers

This is the best brush I have ever used. I own a doodle with very thick curls that get matted up constantly and this brush is a lifesaver. I was using the Chris Christensen coral brush and I didn’t like how under the top fur was always knotted even with line brushing. The bristles of this brush goes down to the skin, brushes out knots effortlessly, and is super stiff making it extremely easy to brush my dog! I will say it’s a little difficult to remove the hair because the bristles are so tight packed together but I 100% recommend this brush and will recommend it to all my friends with long haired dogs!!

Works great and my dog doesn’t mind it as much as other brushes.

This is great for my cavapoo's curly hair, which is a bit overlong at the moment. The brush is quite big, so can be a bit difficult between the legs on very small dogs. Ideally I need to get the same, but smaller. Good long pins, which work well to untangle hair before it gets too matted. I'd say it pulls on the hair too much to work on an established matt, especially in sensitive areas.

Does the trick! Have had it for about a month now and it is holding up really well (the teeth have not bent)

Works great for poodles!

Apres trés peu de brossage sur mon spitz loup(chien a poil long) le caoutchouc qui tient les piques de la brosse sort de son contour en fer , donc arrêt du brossage , dommage car la longueur des piques sont ideal pour un poil long 14€ a la poubelle

Great for my pets fur
