What type of brush is most appropriate for our newest addition to the family (a suspected beagle mix pup)? She's got that flat, soft, straight, short coat going on. I picked up a wirey pad type brush but am unsure if that's suitable for her coat type. Thanks!

Shedding blade

Exactly how short is her coat?

i am also looking for the right brush for my dog mikki. She's a shi tzu breed dog. Anyone want to recommend anything?

For the beagle -a good hound glove and a flea comb - hound glove every day - flea comb couple times a week, the flea comb will pul;l out the short dead undercoat and is by far cheaper than some of the shedding type brushes.

Shih tzu - A good comb - greyhound comb (dont be put off by the name its not for a greyhound) google it it will show you what it is - plus a small slicker brush. Slicker brush first but not armpits or sensitive areas - then comb including armpits etc. every other day at least.

A hound glove! Thanks. I'll look for one along with a flea comb next time I'm at the pet store.

I have a Tzu and I use a slicker brush, works great and she loves it when I use it on her belly...lol. And I use a fine tooth comb on her face.
