Product Information
Full details
The Trixie Dog Fur Care Soft Brush is designed for dog owners seeking a gentle yet effective grooming tool for daily coat maintenance. It excels at reaching both the top and base coat to remove loose fur and debris without irritating the skin, thanks to its soft, tip-protected bristles. While it is perfect for routine upkeep and comfort, owners of dogs with extremely dense, matted fur may find that a more heavy-duty slicker or dematting rake is required for specialized detangling.

FAQs
Is this brush safe for puppies?
Yes, the protective tips on the wire bristles make it gentle enough for sensitive skin, provided you use light pressure.
Can I use this on wet fur?
While it can be used, it is generally recommended to brush your dog when the coat is dry to prevent pulling and knotting.
Is it effective for detangling?
This brush is designed for smoothing and surface grooming; it is not intended for removing tough, tightly packed mats.
How often should I clean the brush?
Remove hair after every grooming session to ensure the bristles remain effective.
What size dog is this brush best for?
Due to the 10 x 17 cm head, it is most comfortable for medium to large breeds, though it can be used on smaller dogs if the owner is careful.
Troubleshooting
Bristles feel uncomfortable for the dog
Reduce the pressure applied during brushing. Ensure you are moving with the grain of the fur rather than against it.
Hair is difficult to remove from the brush
Use a fine-tooth comb to rake through the wire bristles to lift the trapped hair out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with most canine coat types, though it is specifically optimized for dogs that require regular base coat maintenance.
To care for your Trixie brush:
- After each session, remove trapped hair from the wire bristles using a comb or your fingers.
- Periodically clean the brush with warm water and a mild, pet-safe soap to remove dander and oil buildup.
- Allow the brush to air dry completely before storing it, ensuring the bristles are not pressed against hard surfaces to prevent bending.
