Metal Brushes Scratch (This Does Not)
Run a metal brush over your own forearm. Hurts, right? Now imagine that on your dog’s sensitive belly or underarms. Metal brushes rely on sharp hooks to rip out tangles, which often scrapes the skin underneath.
The new wave of grooming tools uses Soft-Silicone Bristles. Instead of scratching, they massage.
The device I tested feels more like a spa treatment than a grooming session, stimulating natural oil production without the "ouch" factor.
