After the slicker, the pin brush smooths the coat. For double coats in shedding season, the undercoat rake comes first.
Three things decide
Pin length, firmness and head shape. Everything else is a matter of taste.
Pin length by coat length
The pins have to reach the skin: 11 mm for short coats and the face, 20 mm for curly coats like those of Poodles and Doodles, 25 mm for long, dense coats.
Soft or firm
Soft means: the pins flex and are gentle on the skin, for puppies, cats and sensitive dogs. Firm means: the pins stay rigid and get through dense undercoat. Purple and pink are soft, turquoise is firm. All wooden brushes are soft.
Curved, flat, round, mini
Curved follows the body’s shape, ideal for back and flanks. Flat for even areas, round for face and paws, mini for beard and toes.
How to brush correctly
Four steps, two to four of them depending on the coat. Always on a dry or slightly damp coat, always in the direction of growth, always without pressure. The slicker brush is step 2.
Step 2
Slicker, layer by layer
Hold the coat up with your free hand, brush the bottom layer, then let the next one down. Short strokes in the direction of growth, no pressure. Tease firm knots apart with your fingers.
The three most common mistakes
- Pressure. A brush rests on its own weight. Red skin after brushing means: too much pressure or pins that are too long.
- Only skimming the surface. Smooth the topcoat but leave the undercoat behind, and you get mats at the skin. Layer by layer, right down to the skin.
- Raking when wet. Rake and slicker brush belong on a dry coat. Wet undercoat mats when you pull it.

Wir lieben diese Bürste!! Mega Produkt...
Ich liebe sie weil sie den Glanz und die weichheit zurück bringt oder auch aufleben lässt...mein Pomeranian liebt sie, weil es unser Abschluss an die tägliche Pflege ist, und sie damit massiert wird...selbst am Bauch mit weniger Fell, kratzt sie nicht und ist richtig gut um störrische Ruten- oder Bauchhaare weicher macht und die Struktur positiv verändert bei mehrmaligen Gebrauch. Ausserdem fördert die die Bindung Mensch-Tier, weil man stundenlang weiter streicheln könnte

The maker
It all began with a poodle called Kika
Kika was the first dog of Janita J. Plungė, the founder of the Kika Group, to which Tauro Pro Line belongs. Her love for Kika became a profession: for over 35 years, Janita has been breeding and grooming Bichons Frisés, Maltese and Pomeranians.
Because nothing in the salon was good enough for her, she developed her own line. Every brush comes from that hands-on experience.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I use the slicker?
Two to three times a week for medium-length coats, five minutes a day for long coats. Thorough and less often beats a quick daily skim.
Does a slicker brush scratch the skin?
Only with pressure. The brush rests on its own weight, your wrist stays relaxed. If the skin is red after brushing, the pressure was too high or the pins too long for the coat.
Soft or firm if I’m not sure?
Soft. Firm pins are only worth it with dense undercoat, and you can tell by whole tufts coming out in shedding season.
Wood or plastic?
They work the same. Wood is lighter, gives a better grip and lasts longer; plastic is cheaper and unaffected by moisture.
Which pin length for my dog?
11 mm for short to medium-length coats and detail areas, 20 mm for medium-length and curly coats, 25 mm for long, dense coats with undercoat.
Is a slicker brush enough on its own?
For medium-length coats, yes. For long coats, add a pin brush for smoothing; for lots of undercoat in shedding season, use the undercoat rake first.
Can I use the brush on a wet coat?
On a slightly damp coat with a little detangling spray, yes; on a wet coat, no. Wet hair stretches and breaks more easily.
How do I clean the brush?
Pull the hair out by hand or with a comb, wipe with a damp cloth if needed and store dry. Don’t dip wooden brushes in water.

It always means the brush with a dense field of fine, bent pins on a flexible cushion.
