Dog Brush for Yorkipoos Buyer’s Guide
Our buying guide reviews the best dog brushes for your yorkipoo.
Materials
Brushes are made of two sections, the bristles, and the handle. Often the handles are made of a comfortable, anti-slip material such as silicone or plastic, and in one case on our list, memory gel. Brushes for yorkipoos need to be made with soft, gentle bristles, so not all brushes are recommended. Materials used in brushes, such as plastic, silicone, rubber and wire, are all easy to clean, which is important when you are removing dirt and dander from your dog.
Types
There are several different types of brushes on the market for dogs. As yorkipoos don’t have a lot of grooming demands, we concentrated on everyday brushes that would be easy on their skin, as well as would remove dirt and debris, while leaving their coats looking shiny. Combination sets are not necessary for yorkipoos as most of the brushes wouldn’t get used.
Sizing
When it comes to brushes for your yorkipoo, you’ll want to ensure that you are using a smaller brush so that only the concentrated area is being touched. If you use a brush head that is too large, you could end up hurting your dog. Many of the brushes for pint-sized pooches are great for both them and cats.
