- Slicker brushes are an important piece of dog grooming equipment for both professional groomers and home groomers. Slicker brushes help remove knots and tangles in your dogs coat. Choosing the correct slicker brush for your dogs coat type is important to help maintain healthy skin and coat.

What a great model
Dash is just the best little dog
Thankyou for your videos. Very generous of you. Just one thing: can you add links to the descriptions so that we can buy the tools that you recommend?
Thank you💕 yes you can purchase all the products used in this grooming tutorial at www.melanienewman.com.au
Love this video, fully explains everything you need to know. Melanie, you are an awesome groomer!
Hi Francine, I’m so happy you love our videos💝
Thank you Melanie - very helpful.
You’re very welcome Laura
@4:10 - Anyone else want to kiss that dog directly on the crown of the head?
yes, I do all the time. he loves it, lol
Hi Melanie, thanks so much for this video. I have learnt so much from it. Have never used a slicker but think it would be a great detangling tool for my westies as they get easily matted. I have a six month old and three year old and both they and I are new to this. Which slicker do you recommend? Also which spray would you suggest? Does it help with detangling also? Thanks again for all your info. Mindy
So many great options. Which two is great for adult golden retriever
I would use the universal slicker, if you golden has a thick coat, I recommend the long pin universal slicker. Please let me know how you find it 💗
I got lost on what brush you were referring to. Perhaps stay the name - explain - pause - repeat.
Hi I own a cavoodle he is on the small size around six kilos I own a slicker very similar to the artero one with the wooden handle on your site is that good enough or do you recommend another one as I am going to order the small Matt breaker and face comb and conditioner
Thank you for your question, if the pins on your slicker are still in tact meaning are they bent? If they are not bent, you slicker should be ok to still use. If not I would recommend the artero Flexi slicker. It’s a double sided gentle slicker with a firm and a medium side.💕
i haven't been brushing my dog the right way, thanks for the video! currently i use the artero double sided brush, but i'm not sure if it does can remove dead undercoat. any suggestions?
You definitely have the correct brush, you may need to brush small sections at a time, then once the slicker goes through smoothly then use your metal comb, to comb though your dogs coat. If you hit a knot, then repeat the process and use your slicker again💕then followed by your comb and then once your comb is combing through the coat and you feel the knots and tangles have been removed then moved onto the next section. 🌸 let me know how you go🌼
Which tools do i use for my 4 Yorkies that range from 3lbs to 10lbs? They have soft hair and sensitive skin.
Do your Yorkie’s have short hair or long hair?
Hi Melanie. I have a 20 weeks old Maltese Shihtzu puppy and a Magic sheer slicker brush. I was told not to use slicker brushes because the pins can cause the hair to split. Is this true? Thank you:)
hello , I remember we spoke on the phone. How did you go with brushing your puppy?
@@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials Hi Melanie, the groomer cut my now 11 months old puppy' fur to rather short. It has grown since. I have been brushing her fur everyday. First with a soft brush, then very gentle run through with a slicker brush, followed by metal comb. Of course, I never fail to spray her with the puppy spray on conditioner first! A great relieve that her fur is not knotted and manageable now 🤞. However, her tear stain is still an issue 😊. Thank you.
What is the detangle product used?
Hi Vera, the de tangled spray used in this grooming tutorial is melanienewman.com.au/collections/the-relax-collection/products/relax-coat-conditioning-spray-250-ml
I bought the Artero protected tooth brush for our bichon/poodle mix when he was a puppy based on your video.. It worked like a charm on his soft puppy hair and it was a good choice.
But now that he's getting to be almost 9 months old, his coat is getting a little longer/heavier/curlier and that brush doesn't seem to do the job as well.
Which brush would you recommend for the next stage?
Thank you!
Thank you that is great to hear. I would recommend the Flexi slicker its a very gentle slicker-melanienewman.com.au/collections/grooming-products/products/artero-flexi-slicker?variant=31529160835141
or if you think you need a slicker that is firm and will remove knots faster, I recommend this one-

Could you tell me which is the richer conditioner? Relax or Purify? Thank you.
The relax is richer and the purify will still hydrate and draw toxins and pollution for skin and coat💕
@@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials Thank you that helps. I would like something richer than both of these for my Standard's ears and crest. Would that be Puppy or Refresh please?
The refresh is formulated for double coated breed, gently cleaning while the avocado oil helps hydrate the coat, it’s a heavy conditioner. The puppy in a lot lighter formulated for puppy’s skin and coat to help with the coat transition from puppy to their adult coat.💕
@@MelanieNewmanSalonEssentials Thank you - So the hierarchy of richest to lightest across the range is Refresh, Puppy, Everyday, Relax then Purify? Is that right? I just bought Puppy and Everyday today. :)
Hello, no, a slicker brush will not cause the hair to split. I use slicker brushes on all my dogs. When I am trying to grow coat , for example on my adult poodles top knot, I will use a pin brush only in the top knot as sometimes when the coat is really long a slicker can break coat. But as your puppy is transitioning from puppy coat to adult coat I would definitely use a slicker. This will help remove the dead unwanted puppy coat and allow the new healthy adult coat grow.💕
Which one of these should I use for my long haired pomsky he just has big chunks of hair falling out from his undercoat and I have been trying to find a more comfortable and correct brush for him.
- thanks, Tyler
Thank you for your question. An Artero universal long pin, if you dogs coat is longer. When using the slicker make sure you get to the base of the skin, and brush small amounts at a time, ensuring you are removing all the dead coat💕
Hi Melanie.
Excellent video, what would you recommend for lagotto romagnolo, Belle and Bow are still puppies, something that is suitable for puppies and a slicker for when they adults please, any help will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance :)
Roger
Hi Roger, thanks, glad you enjoyed our video. we would recommend our puppy shampoo and conditioner , also for a slicker you could use an Artero small flexi slicker
Why are the first two double sided? Are the sides different? and what's the benefit of it being flexible?
One side is firmer and the other side is a little softer. The purpose of the Flexi slicker is, it’s a little more gentle on the dogs coat and skin.
What’s the best slicker for toy Goldendoodle
Hi Jaimie, I would recommend the large artero Flexi slicker, or if your dogs coat us a thick coat I recommend the universal slicker, it’s firmer than the Flexi.
Thank you so much
I love your videos
Thank you 😊
@@jaimiegonzalez67 you are very welcome and thank you so much✂️
Which slicker would you use for a Lagotto ? I don't have a long coat on my boy, and use a rotating teeth comb, but haven't used slickers. Thanks 😊
I would begin with the shear magic or Artero Flexi slicker and brush your dog while his coat is still short. By doing this it will help your boy feel comfortable with brushing and it will remove dead skin cells and dead coat. Once your boys coat is longer and I would move on to a slicker with longer and stronger pins such as the Artero universal long pins slicker. I think the challenge for you will be getting him comfortable with being brushed, he may not like it to begin with , but if you start by brushing small areas to begin with and reward the good behaviour💕
Thanks so much, Melanie
You are very welcome 💕
Where can buy the sheer magic slicker from
Hello Tracey, what country are you ordering from?💗

Please provide name of slicker brushes
I have a 1 year old shih tzu. I am a constant brusher. It relaxes both of us. I want to add to my selection as I owned and groomed my yorkie for 14 years. I'm new to shih tzu. Tons more work and grooming which I'm learning. Give names of your conditioning sprays. I'm using Tropiclean detangling.. Chris Christiansen Just Devine.. John Paul for oatmeal conditioning spray. I want to buy more.
Are these brushes for a shih tzu. Give names of your products behind you and names of brushes. I use 20 mm Safari pin brush. She has no matts at all as she is with me every day
yes, I would recommend using a pin brush on a shih tzu in full coat, the products used in this video are melanienewman.com.au
