Is this used as a "BRUSH' too? for a small dog?

well u can actually "brush" them with this. It is mainly used to get the loose hair off of them, but my pug and 1/2 lab LOVE it when i use it on them. So it's like brushing them too. I would be careful not to bear down too hard though as the prongs are metal and can hurt them if you really bear down on it..but its a great tool to give them a nice look and clean out all their excess hair.

The point of the brush is to get rid of fur that's about to fall off or that's just tangled on the animal. It shouldn't be used as a brush because it doesn't comb the hair softly it only removes hair and makes the animals hair look healthier and give them a better coat as well

No. This is to remove lose hair and undercoat. All a brush does is move the hair around, this picks the hair up so you can dispose of it before it gets around. However, like a brush, dogs really like the way this feels, and my dog actually is happy when she sees me getting it out.

I use my FURminator as brushes and as de-shedding tools. I have small FURminators for my 2 small dogs and large ones for the 2 long-haired large dogs. If your small dog has short hair be sure a get the brush for short hair. My dogs truly enjoy their "FURminator time"; I use a small dog, short hair one on my Jack Russell terrier, a small dog long hair brush on my Shitzu , and large dog long hair FURminators on my Chow/Lab mixes. I believe the FURminators are well worth the money.

No, it is for smooth coated dogs for deshedding purposes. You need a slicker brush and a metal comb for your dog. (Slicker brushes are square brushes with lots of metal "hairs" )

I think its better if you get a long furminator hair brush. The dual brush is intended for dog with short fur.

Bristles are metal and hard, but flexible. The one I have would be very large for that size dog, in my opinion.

Though I haven't used it for that purpose, the space between teeth is sufficient for thinning a shaggy dog's hair. The results from thinning with these shears are considered "chunky" according to my hairstylist (as there are finer/narrower tooth versions), so from that perspective I'd think it a good thing for use with a dog's less fine hair.

The dog I use it on is about 25 lbs, with straight hair. She loves it and will lay there as long as I'm willing to brush her. I think the bristles might be too long for use on a small dog. I've gently brushed my 5lb chihuahua with it and it gives her the heeby jeebies. The retractable bristles are metal and about an in long. They probably make a smaller version for smaller dogs.

Hello Terri,This is Jude from HappyDogz team. Regarding your question, we would suggest that you go for the small sized brush for your 21 pound doggy. :)Best regards,Jude(HappyDogz Team)

I have a miniature long-haired dachshund. I bought the 'small' (7.5 inch) for her, and it works perfectly. I loved the brush so much, that I ended up ordering the large (9.25 inch) for myself, and absolutely love it.

I don't think it is a good idea to use for pet trimming, this clipper is good for short and close hair only, very quiet and smooth but if you are looking for a powerful one this is NOT the the right one for you. It is not hurt to try on your pet hair once.

i do not think its meant to be a hair brush.i really just use it as a bath brush.

Yes - in short. We use this on our Siamese, which has medium/short hair, and sheds like crazy. Works very well, even though, I would imagine, it would work even better on longer hair. The bristles are not too firm or long for short hair, and would be best suited for removing excess fur. The only thing I would suggest on very short haired cats is too be gentle with the brush. The bristles are not coated or tipped, so could scratch with firm use.I love this product, and my cat loves it too.

Couldn't say for certain since I don't have a dog but the bristles are kind of soft so I wouldn't put money on it.

No I only use it when I brush our dog which is really only during the seasons of her blowing her coat which is twice per hear. Short hair dog with minimal shedding.

The brush head/bristles are small but we used them for ourselves and our 2 year old. Our dentist recommended using a small brush for ourselves as adults to scrub better.

No, this is definitely a bath brush...bristles are too close together for hair...

Silvia, I don't think this would work as well on a small dog with a small snout. I got one for my golden retriever puppy, and the bigger she grows, the better this works! I suggest seeing if they make a smaller model

No - this is a single action siphon feed brush. You should probably look at the Paasche VL Double Action airbrush instead. I have one of those as well.
