This slicker brush is built for puppies and toy breed dogs, with a small brush head sized to fit petite frames. Flexible wire pins are capped with plastic tips so the bristles glide across sensitive skin while still lifting mats, tangles and loose hair from the coat. The curved pad conforms to the contours of a small dog's body, letting the pins reach the legs, chest and other hard-to-reach areas during a grooming session. Regular brushing also works the skin, encouraging the coat's natural oils to spread evenly for added shine. No batteries, cords or assembly are needed; the brush is ready to use straight from its packaging. It pairs well with other Li'l Pals grooming tools such as combs and nail care items as part of a small dog's regular coat care routine.
