Some groomers recommend using a small slicker brush for toes, legs, face, and tail and a larger brush for the rest of the body. Slicker brushes are also helpful at removing tangles in the coat of cats or dogs.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-brush-my-dog-every-day\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_brush_my_dog_every_day\"><\/span>Should I brush my dog every day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs do not require daily brushing.
