A finishing brush is just what it’s name implies, the finishing of your grooming. The bristles are super soft, like a face brush, and are typically made from natural bristles. The soft bristles help the natural oils to glide along the coat, and smooth everything out. The finishing brush also removes any traces of dust that may have accumulated after you have finished your brushing. Rub Rag This rubber brush features rubber bristles that flex and move with the contours of the horse to release grit without scratching the skin. The bristles are strong enough for the mud removal, yet gentle enough to be used on legs. Depending on the time of the year, your vet might recommend getting a de-shedding tool; one you might be familiar with is called the FURminator, which has accumulated a raving following from pet owners over the years. And once you have completed all of your brushing, you can get the dust off and add a shine by using a rub rag. It has been my experience that any soft rag or towel can be used as a final rub rag. And what I like to do is take my old towels and washcloths and use them as rub rags for my horses. It is an affordable alternative to buying “real” rub rags, and they work just as good. Brushes Need Care Too These dogs tend to keep themselves pretty clean, so Dalmatian bathing is only necessary if the dog gets especially dirty or stinky.

Rubber curry brushes are great for short-hair dog owners who want to brush their dog on a more regular basis since they are very kind to the dog’s skin. However, they may not be aggressive enough for a full grooming session. I would recommend you use these brushes between the more extended grooming sessions with a regular pin or bristle brush.Your staffy will require weekly brushing to ensure the shedding doesn’t get out of control. These weekly brushing sessions will help remove loose hair and other substances from your staffy’s coat. A plastic curry comb is also useful because it removes dirt and old hair from the horse. Some plastic curry combs have a hose nozzle attachment for use while bathing a horse as well. Be careful when using a plastic curry comb as horses may be sensitive to it.

These long-haired dogs number in the low hundreds worldwide, and if you have one, you know that there is some room to style parts of their coats. At the least, you will need to occasionally trim their leg, ear, tail, and "beard" hair as it gets longer than the rest of the coat, is prone to tangles, and is best styled in a feathered fashion. The beard hair needs only be kept from getting so long as to be unmanageable. While a "beard" trim seems simple and easy, it can just as easily look off-balance if not done properly. Let a groomer do it and show you how until you are ready to do it right.
