Les Pooches Brushes

These are very pricey brushes they start at around $50 all the way up to $100. If you are a groomer you can get the whole sale price and a discount for ordering multiples ( contacted the company about pricing I talked to Marie she is super nice and informative). I found out about this brush from a co-groomer during a competition. He said that they are worth every penny. They cut his brush out time in half and they last longer then regular slicker brushes(so they end up being around the same price). I have found that they do cut your brush out time significantly and with little effort on your part. I used them to brush out a newfie and it was amazing how fast it went and he looked beautiful after. He looked so fluffy I have never gotten him to look so nice after his groom. I also was impressed by the matt-zapper. I used it on a matted tail I didn't have to split the mats I just brushed them out. Normally I would have split them and taking my thinning shears to this type of mat and then still had to brush out a ton of hair. I have four different types. They each work for different coat types.
The company suggests these brushes: 1 emergency matt brush ( for matts only), 1 pro-brush (f/f) for the wiery and doubble coated breeds, 1 pro-brush (m/ms) for the whimpy dogs, and 1 finishing brush firm, for "spider matts" on shitzu type coats , deshedding all breeds, and pulling coats straight on poodles and bishons.
If I were you I would spend the money on the wide brushes. I got two wides and two regulars now I wish I would have gotten all wides. The regulars are so small I would normally use this small of a brush on a super tiny dog or on faces. It is well worth the extra $10-$15 to get the wide ones.
