I’ve had multiple people tell me that they heard, or believed, that pugs were a non-shedding breed. When I hear that, it’s hard not to laugh. My pugs shed, and they shed quite a bit! Fawn pugs typically have a double coat which means they shed more than single-coat dogs. My pug Frank seems to shed quite a bit more than Beans does for some reason, but they both lose fur year-round. I try to brush them really thoroughly before bathing them, but no matter how long I brush them for, the tub ends up covered in fur.
We were recently sent Furbliss pet brushes to test out. Furbliss dog brushes are made out of medical grade silicone so there are no harsh or sharp bristles. They come in four options, I used the short-haired brush for small dogs or cats on my pugs, which is the blue brush. These brushes are double-sided, with one having deeper nubs and thicker texture which can provide acupressure massage, brushing, cleaning and exfoliation. The backside is textured but is much flatter and can grasp loose hairs, aiding in deshedding, brushing, shampoo reservoir cells and can remove lint and fur from furniture. The brush can be used in water to help easily remove the fur it gathers or to aid in bathing your pet.
With many traditional dog brushes, my dogs start out excited to get brushed, but then keep trying to walk away. I think they are conflicted about whether it feels good or if it doesn’t. However, with the Furbliss brush they are eager to stay in place for as long as I want to brush them. I feel better knowing that the silicone isn’t scratching them or causing them any discomfort. My dogs have always hated having the sides of their legs and the front of their chests brushed, I suspect because the hair is very short in those areas. With the Furbliss, they don’t mind being brushed there, I suspect this is because the bristles do not dig in depiste their thin hair in those areas.
I never feel any snags or pulling when using the Furbliss like I experienced with other brushes. It fits in my hand really comfortably which is great with my dogs because it does take quite a while to get the job done. I also like how the brush is flexible, it allows me to apply pressure to different aspects of the brush, and bend the brush around their legs, shoulders, tails, etc with ease.

I’ve only seen the ones with metal and I’ve always wondered how much that hurts the animals. I love the material on these and they look effective!

I have always wondered how it would something like this would brush my Pug’s hair, thanks. I have a black Pug and she sheds non stop. I currently use a deshedder brush, but have never tried something softer like this, especially in the tub. Thanks for the review.

I love that there are four choices of brushes that go according to the type of pet you have. I have three dogs and four cats that could benefit from this type of brush!

With two dogs, a cat, and three kids; lots of shedding and fur flying everywhere when petting occurs. Especially interested in the fur on furniture removal side :-/
These look like great brushes. I no longer have any pets so this will be a present for my friend who has 2 cats.
