Dog owners are always confused on what brush to use for their dogs! Often we come across pug owners using a wide tooth comb on their dog or a Furminator being used on a Great Dane! (A Furminator is a brush with a blade which cuts the undercoat) Yes that actually happened as one of our customers told us about it, I suppose they are not to be blamed as they actually care about their dog and spent about INR 2500 - 4000 to buy a Furmintor. But there is really no one to guide them on what to use and what not to use at pet stores. We ourselves have also learned over time through various dogs coming in with different hair textures, composition and more!
So what is a rubber curry comb!?? [We know the name sounds really strange]
Its a rubber brush that can be slipped onto the palm of your hand, it is oval in shape and has small rubber teeth on it. Thats the picture of the ones we have in store. We could not find a rubber curry in Delhi once we started the store as no one knew what it was, then one day we came across it while this supplier was showing us the catalogue for brushes. He simply had no idea what it was and called it a Massager! Which is fact is one of the thing it does do for the dog! If you know about horses you will also know that a curry comb is of the grooming tools that they use on horses as it helps keep their skin and coat lustrous.

What Does it really do for the dog?
A rubber curry is great to remove loose dead hair, dirt and debris in short haired dogs. It massages and stimulated the hair follicles and distributes natural oils and gives the coat a nice sheen. Whats not to like!
What Does it do for you?
Well it gives you a very good workout for your arms and shoulders so when your grooming your dog really get in there and brush like you've never brushed before to attain those perfectly toned arms! Suitable for Men & Women...
How do we use it?
Slip it on to your palm and simply brush in the direction of the hair growth. The spots where heaps of hair come out are generally on either sides of the tail, under the neck and on the back. Strangely enough you can use this to actually remove allot of dead hair from ears too!
What dog breeds would this work on?
This would be suitable for short haired dogs. The name a few:
- Labradors
- Pugs
- Short Haired Chihuahua
- Beagles
- Short Haired Desi/Indian dogs
- Dalmatians
- Daschunds
- Jack Russells
- Basset Hounds
- Boxers
- Great Danes
- Mastiffs
- Rottweiler & many more
Often you also may use a combination of the curry comb along with another brush to get the desired results!
Where can you find this magical piece of equipment?

This is an important part for any dog owner. It should be chosen wisely because every dog is different. Choosing a high-quality dog brush for your Pitbulls is also a challenging task in itself. While choosing a brush in a pet store, try to choose the appropriate product for double-coated fur. You can use a flexible pin brush or slicker brush for your dog as it works best for fur dogs.
