What is the best brush for my dog?

This is the question that everyone asks but few know what is actually the correct answer. All brushes are to brush through a dog's coat, sounds simple enough! However, this is when the distinct differences of what is the best brush for me and my dog, start to be made clearer.

A brush has 3 distinct purposes.

  1. To allow optimum brushing for your dog's coat type.
  2. To allow you the ability to do this efficiently.
  3. To ensure dogs comfort and reduce the users joint and muscle stress.

Plush Puppy recognizes the importance of these 3 key issues hence the development of the Ultimate Brush Range. This consists of 7 uniquely designed brushes in the range. Each of the 7 brushes unique designs has a distinctive difference for their specific purpose and results.

All coats are not the same. Some are soft, fine and silky. Other coats range from medium to long up to extra-long flowing coats.

Each coat type has a brush designed for your dog and the needs of that specific coats type.
