DOG By Dr Lisa Bamboo Dog Slicker Brush Grooming Tool, Large

Editor's note

A slicker does not reach the undercoat well, and the guide does not ask it to. Its job in a double-coat routine is finishing work, detangling the topcoat after a rake pass and handling daily upkeep. This is the guide's pick, a bamboo brush with short bristles.

It earns its keep after a swim or a wet walk, when damp fur starts to mat. Lifting it with a slicker then stops the mat from locking in.

The guide's routine is a slicker pass twice a week for about 5 minutes. Pair it with an undercoat rake. On its own, a slicker leaves the heat-trapping layer where it is.
