Quick answer
To fit the BUSTER Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush, simply hold the handle and brush in the direction of hair growth, applying light pressure. The retractable pins release hair with a button press for easy cleaning.
Why proper brushing technique matters
Using a slicker brush incorrectly can cause discomfort or skin irritation, especially on sensitive areas. The BUSTER Self-Cleaning Slicker Soft Pin is designed for gentle de-matting and removing loose undercoat without damaging the top coat, but only if you brush with the grain and avoid excessive force.
For long, thick, and double coats, the soft pins reach deep to remove loose hair while being kind to the skin. The retractable pin feature makes cleaning quick, but you still need to brush in sections to avoid tangling.
How to fit and use the BUSTER Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush
- 1. Prepare your dog and brush: Ensure your dog is calm and standing on a non-slip surface. Hold the brush by the handle with the pin pad facing your dog's coat. Check that the brush is clean and free of old hair. Common mistake: brushing a wet or tangled coat. Always brush a dry, detangled coat first to avoid pulling.
- 2. Brush in the direction of hair growth: Starting at the neck or back, gently brush in short, smooth strokes following the natural direction of the hair. Apply light pressure—the pins should glide through without resistance. Work in small sections, especially on thick or double coats. Common mistake: brushing against the grain or using too much force, which can irritate the skin. If you feel resistance, stop and gently work out the tangle with your fingers.
- 3. Clean the brush after each session: Press the button on the back of the brush pad to retract the pins and release collected hair. Wipe the pad clean with a dry cloth. Do not wash the brush with water unless the manufacturer specifies it is waterproof. Common mistake: forgetting to clean the brush regularly. Built-up hair reduces brushing effectiveness and can harbor dirt. Clean after every use to maintain performance.
