The Small Safari Curved Firm Slicker removes tangles and loose hair from small dogs with any type of coat. The slicker is curved to groom the special contours of the dog and features coated tips for comfort. The ergonomic, non-slip handle gives you the control you want. Use long, gentle strokes being careful to avoid removing excess undercoat. Some breeds will require brushing frequently, while others will only need to be brushed once a week.
