Button-clean slicker for finishing coats and catching loose hair
About $10–$18
A self-cleaning slicker is the daily driver for many coats after baths or between desheds. Use gentle strokes; digging the pins in causes brush burn. Pair with a metal comb for behind the ears and armpits.
Who it's for: Routine brushing between fuller groom sessions.
Skip if: Severe mats — book a groomer; brushes alone can hurt.
Alternatives with different tradeoffs — not clones of the same pitch.
