ACTIVET BRUSH RECOMMENDATIONS BY BREED

Professional Groomers obviously deal with many coat types and will select their preferred brushes by FUNCTION (mat breaking, undercoating, finishing) along with the breed types they may specialise in.

Pet Owners on the other hand, will select the ActiVet brush most suited to their individual pet’s coat and grooming needs and choose by BREED.

As the majority of breeds have multiple grooming needs (dematting or deshedding, along with maintenance brushing), Activet DUO brushes are a popular choice for Pet Owners, effectively giving you 2 tools in the one brush.

 

PUPPIES

For puppies and young dogs of ALL BREEDS, the ActiVet Coat Grabber GOLD brush is always your best choice. With its Ultra-Soft flexible head, it is extremely gentle and forgiving on young pets, providing the greatest chance of a happy and positive introduction to grooming.

For breeds with medium-length coats and prone to matting, the SilCoater is also a great choice. Use the slightly stronger GREEN side to handle any mats or tangles before brushing out with the GOLD.
