Choosing the best dog grooming brushes for your needs will depend on many factors. Brushes come in all shapes and sizes, from wooden to plastic, from combs and rakes to bristle brushes. The breed of your dog, and hence its hair and skin type, will primarily influence your choice of tool to maintain a healthy, tangle-free coat. If your dog regularly benefits from a bath with one of the best dog shampoos and best dog conditioners, this should help, too. All of these shedding tools are easy to clean. With a bit of warm water and a mild detergent, you can wash these brushes after you use them. This is important, because the natural oils in your pet's coat will get on the brush, and you don't want them to cause any build up over time.

Groomi deshedding tool Why pet owners are obsessed with the Groomi deshedding tool

The high-quality angled stainless steel bristles reach through the top coat to remove loose undercoat hair without damaging the top. Designed to reduce shedding, detangle, remove debris and keep the pet’s coat shiny and healthy. The bristle design aids in deep-cleaning each hair. The manufacturer says it is suitable for all types of fur and sizes of dog. The FURminator is certainly the best quality and the most popular buy among pet owners, but it's also the most expensive. The one obvious difference that you'll notice right away is the price of these deshedding tools. I will cover each one separately in greater detail, but I also recommend you watching my video above where I expand on every one of these points further.

On the brand’s TikTok, demonstration videos show animals getting the Groomi treatment. The transformation is incredible, even in double-coated dogs (including Alaskan Malamutes and pugs) that are known to have stubborn fur. You'll find a stainless steel brush head on all three of the products I chose for this deshedding tool comparison, which brings us to the third point that they have in common. As the weather gets warmer their coats start to loosen, then before you know it there’s more fur on your sofa than the animal.

It has a removable head, same as the DakPets tool has, and is another one-size-fits-most deshedding tool. The flexible, ergonomic design is meant to be easier on the handler’s wrist, as well as more comfortable for the dog, as the flexible head curves with the shape of the body.

We have a 6-month-old Beagle, who you can see in the photo above. This grooming tool works well on her coat, but it's a bit too wide. This makes it difficult to groom her entire body. This is another lightweight grooming tool, which means you'll be much more comfortable using it for an extended period of time.If you have a pet (reptile and sphynx cat owners aside) you’ll know the struggle of shedding season. In my video, I show you the Furjector button. This is a standard feature on all FURminator deshedding tools. This button ejects a thin plastic strip that slides underneath the stainless steel teeth to push out all your pet's shed hair. You don't need to pull the hair out with your fingers, which is convenient. It's not a must have feature, but certainly makes things much easier. Fill the container in this brush with dog shampoo or conditioner and press the button to dispense the product into your pet’s wet hair. The bristles loosen the dog’s hair, helping the shampoo and conditioner to reach his skin. The bathing brush makes washing your dog easier and more effective. While it's more expensive than the DakPets tool, it's more affordable than the FURminator dog brush. Also, in my experience, Magic Pro worked better than the DakPets deshedding tool on all three of our dogs. I would recommend this brush to anyone looking for a universal deshedding tool to use on multiple dogs of different sizes and coat types. The final product chosen for my deshedding tool comparison is the Magic Pro deshedding tool from HappyDogz. This dog brush is equipped with a comfortable handle and a rubber grip. As you'll see in my video, the grip has rubber grooves that contour to your hand. The large groove at the top works as a thumb rest.

Likewise, you want to protect the shedding brush head as well. If you don't cover it, you may notice that it gets dull much faster than you anticipated. All three of these products that I chose for my deshedding tool comparison do come with safety guards. In my video above, I go into more details about using the Magic Pro as well as the other two brushes, and I show you how exactly all of them work. I highly recommend you watching the video for a more in-depth explanation if you really want to make the right choice with your next pet grooming tool.

This double-sided eco-friendly pet brush can be used for bathing and massaging, to keep your pet both clean and chilled out! The natural bristle brush and the massager work in harmony to detangle matted fur, remove dead hair while keeping your dog relaxed. Designed for dogs of all hair types. TikTokers questioned whether the comb featured a cutting blade, forcing the UK-based company’s founder to use on her own hair in response. For example, I own the FURminator for short haired dog breeds of medium size. It works well for our boxer Chloe, but wouldn't work on any future dogs that I adopt that are small breeds, large breeds, or have long hair. The DakPets deshedding tool for dogs is much lighter, but it doesn't have an ergonomically designed handle. One thing that the DakPets tool has over the FURminator brush is its removable head. With the simple push of a button you can slide the head off for easy cleaning and safe storage. If you are someone who tends to adopt the same breed over and over, this is a great option for you. The price may seem high now, but you'll be able to use this shedding brush for multiple generations of dogs. I believe it will pay for itself eventually.

As you can see in my video and photos, this tool works well on all three of our lovely ladies. When I spend money on a dog product, I try to find something that is going to meet the needs of all of our pets. Pair that with the comfortable grip and lightweight of the Magic Pro, and it's no wonder that this product wins this deshedding tool comparison. Groomi’s videos have garnered over 389,000 likes on the social media platform, with animal lovers hailing the product as a ‘game-changer.’ The handle of the FURminator is also unique. It's ergonomically designed, making it very, very comfortable. This is a great asset if you have a dog that requires a lot of grooming. Our chocolate Labrador has a double coat, so I have to brush her for 45-60 minutes during heavy shedding seasons. Without an ergonomically designed handle, I would surely feel a lot of hand fatigue while deshedding my dog. A third customer said: ‘I’ve used it twice now on my Labrador and my life is transformed. I no longer come downstairs to a blanket of fur every morning… Safety guards are a MUST HAVE when thinking about purchasing this type of tool. The teeth on these tools could cut someone, so you want to make sure they are covered at all times when the brush isn't in use.These popular pet deshedding tools have their pros and cons, but at the end of the day, they are all very good shedding brushes for most hair types, depending on the needs of you and your dog (or cat). The three most popular pet shedding tools used in this comparison review are well-known to most pet parents.
