I have a 6 pound Russian Toy Terrier would the small size be small enough for him? Are the bristles soft are hard?

The bristles are the thin metal type that are hard, so I would at gently brush. The small size will be a perfect fit. Hope this helps

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

This might be a bit big for him. My dog is a 45 lb border collie mix and it is perfect for her. Hope this helps. Also the bristles are pretty hard. They work well for long haired dogs though. You just have to be gentle.

The bristles are kind of hard . They retract to make it easy to remove the hair so the bristles are a kind of steel material. I got the large brush so I have no idea about the small size. I really like this brush. Hope this helps..

The brush is too large for small dogs. I USE it on my larger dogs and love it. BUT our 4# dog it wouldn't work well as bristles metal and hard.

I bought the large and I have a labrador. It is ok but the last grain of food are difficult to eat for my dog because he has a big face, but I dont think it is going to be a problem for a Russian toy dog.

Yes, I think so. We bought the medium for a 40 pound collie and we feel it's a bit too big - it seems to work better if its a snug fit, so the brushes really clean the paw. But we love it, it really works.

I would consider them medium. My wife & I both love this toothbrush. I use it more gingerly than she. It would seem the pressure used to actually brush is more of a factor than the soft, medium or hard bristle type, in my humble opinion anyway. There seem to be three different types of bristles on the brush head itself. Hope this helps !

I got the large dog size and I have a German Shepherd. Prolly a little smaller than yours but the brush would still work great! Not to mention it does a good job at containing the mess and is easy to remove brushed hair.

No, the bristles are too soft in my opinion. It probably depends on the type of cleaning job.

i have boston terriers and it's just fine. the chew is soft you can cut it in half.

the handle is sturdy. I have pressed super hard with no problem to the handle. The bristles are also hard though. So hard they do not seem to scrunch no matter how hard I press on the handle.

It is a pretty big brush for that small of a dog...4". And the teeth are further apart than say a Funinator. I would recommend the 2" Fuminator.

Honestly I'm not home now and this brush isn't as big as it looks but I bought it for my german shephard that's 60lbs and I absolutely love it! Hope that helps!

The only one that would be tough for a small dog is the paw print. The others are around 2-3 inches but have nibble-able legs, heads and tails. I make cookies for neighborhood dogs of all sizes and haven't had a problem.

The bristles are softer rubber and rather on the thicker side. I'm not sure what the origional is. But this won't scratch your dogs skin and really gets the fur out.

Hi! My Yorkie is about 4 lbs and the small is a little big on him. So, I think the small would for your pup nicely! I agree, it would be helpful if they added a description. Hope I helped :-)

Depends on your dog's coat. I have a lab and a german shepherd. While the lab has a double coat, it is not the correct brush for her. The german shepherd, has a longer double coat and it's perfect. I use it first and followup with a wider toothed comb to pick up the loose fur, then a run outside to let the rest of the fur fly. It would not be good for shorter coated dogs like a dalmatian or beagle.

I think it is a bit too big - unless you are really careful. Plus, for Pomeranian fur, I wouldn't think you need this type of brush, anyway...

I have a Miniature dachshund which is 7 pounds. The toothbrush is bordered on both sides if you get the triple action which is great for small dogs. The only thing I should mention is the one I bought looks a little different than the one on the site now.

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.
