I have a five month old puppy who currently has medium length hair. She is supposedly a labrador/terrier mix, however according to our vet she has a lot of setter in her and I was recently told by someone who had a setter that her hair is very similar to that dog's hair. In any case, the brush we were using when she was much smaller and had much shorter hair is no longer working well enough. Any suggestions?

The brush we have right now has two sides. One side has metal bristles and the other some sort of synthetic bristles. Neither of them seems to do a very good job.

A brush that has soft ends. Those kind tend to work great for medium sized haird dogs...

Any place that carries pet supplies (even the grocery store) will have dog brushes. I like the kind with a soft base, but with metal bristles that flex in the base. They brush thoroughly, but don't pull, and they're deep enough to get into the thickest of coats.

A slicker brush would probably work well for her. I know they work wonders with spaniels, and mine did well with the coat of my brother's English Setter pup. Try using a shedding blade as well.

Go to the petstore and find a dog brush for medium/long fur
