When it comes to dog brushes, the Furminator has a cult-like following. It comes in five sizes, ranging from extra-small to giant, and in both short and long-haired versions—so you can customize it to suit your dog. When in doubt, ask your vet. A bristle brush helps to remove dead fur and stimulate skin on dogs with shorter fur, while a pin brush is a great tool for pups with medium-length fur and for overall finishing on coats of all types. It comes in medium and large, depending on the size of your pup, and features a comfort grip handle.
