Slicker brush

[blstarke]

Some top groomers like the slicker; some don't.
How many use the slicker on the Newfoundland?

I do in certain areas. Not all over. I use it to brush the fur up on their feet before thinning them and run the fur upward on the back hocks for trimming. It's really useful on long furnishings and tails. And it helps take some of the wave out of curly croup fur when used with a blow dryer. But it doesn't get down to the skin very well, so an undercoat rake and comb are still necessary. If there are any mats, I split them, use the slicker and then the comb. I do think that a slicker may break some of the coat, but why not have all the tools that make your job easier and help lessen any discomfort for the dog. And after grooming, I use it to rake the carpet. LOL

Ha! In addition to using one on Mila, I use it on my pants legs after grooming! Picks up all the undercoat fluff that gets stuck to jeans!

We used to use the slicker brush for everything but since Bear is still growing we are starting to use a pin brush on his legs and under the ears and the rake a little too.
