Hard pins mean more care needed

Hard pins do more on a wiry or coarse coat, but they're also the wrong choice on a corded coat like a Puli's or Komondor's, and Mikki don't specify a pressure guide beyond the flexi-head absorbing some of it — go gently on a dog with sensitive skin under a wiry topcoat rather than assuming the coat type means the skin can take it too.

Why we chose it

A soft brush that doesn't actually reach a wiry coat is a wasted purchase, and this is built specifically for the coats that need real pin strength. The flexi-head stops 'hard pins' meaning 'harsh brushing', which matters on a dog that isn't used to being groomed properly.

Full description

A wiry or coarse coat shrugs off a soft-pinned brush entirely, which is why the hard-pin option exists rather than everyone reaching for the gentlest brush by default.

This slicker has angled hard pins on a rubber pin bed, built to reach through thick, coarse or wiry fur and trap debris that a softer pin would just glide over. It has an ergonomic, flexi-head design to absorb brushing pressure, and Mikki recommend it for pets with long, thick hair or undercoats that shed heavily. This is the Large size.

Hard pins mean more care needed. Hard pins do more on a wiry or coarse coat, but they're also the wrong choice on a corded coat like a Puli's or Komondor's, and Mikki don't specify a pressure guide beyond the flexi-head absorbing some of it — go gently on a dog with sensitive skin under a wiry topcoat rather than assuming the coat type means the skin can take it too.

Who it's for: owners of a wiry, coarse or heavily-shedding thick-coated dog whose coat a soft-pin brush simply doesn't get through.
