Travel-Friendly Brushes

Regular brushing is essential for keeping your dog’s coat free from tangles, mats, and debris, particularly after outdoor adventures. Investing in a travel-friendly brush that’s compact and easy to pack is a must for any traveller with a dog. WildWash offers a variety of brushes designed for different coat types, ensuring you can effectively groom your pet no matter where you are. From slicker brushes for long-haired breeds to rubber brushes for short-haired pups, there’s an option to suit every traveller’s needs.

Rubber Brush

The Rubber Brush can be used on wet or dry coats.  Brush vigorously in all directions to get rid of loose and shedding hair.  On a dry coat, this is best done outside your accommodation as you will get a cloud of dead hair come out!

 

 

Slicker Brush

For travellers looking to groom their furry companions, here’s a tip on how to properly handle the Slicker Brush: Begin by positioning it with the pin side facing downward and the handle directed toward you. Place your four fingers on top of the brush and tuck your thumb under the base of the handle, resembling a paddle grip. Starting from the roots of the hair, gently brush through to the ends, pulling the slicker brush upwards towards you. This technique effectively untangles the coat, leaving it smooth and knot-free for your adventures.
