1. Chris Christensen Big G Dog Slicker Brush

Arguably the holy grail of slicker brushes for doodles. While this brush is a bit pricey, it is a POWERHOUSE in brushing through thick doodle coats. We use this brush in our salon so we know its strength!

2. ARTERO EXTRA LONG GIANT UNIVERSAL PINS SLICKER

This is a personal favorite! Price point is more affordable and does a great job at brushing through doodle coats. It has long brush pins that penetrate down to the skin!

3. ARTERO Universal Slicker Brush

Now we know what you might be thinking, "wait, is this the same brush as above?" It in fact is not. This brush is not only smaller in size, but the pins are shorter. This will work great for doodle puppies and doodles with shorter coats.

4. ARTERO Double Flexible Slicker (Medium)

Here we have yet again another Artero brand slicker brush! This brush is double sided and has a flexible brush pad. This works well with small doodles and doodle faces. The flexibility allows for gliding over the natural contours on your dogs body.

5. Freshly Bailey Slicker Dog Brush For Goldendoodles

Last on our list but certainly not least. This brush offers the same quality result of a Chris Christensen brush but a cheaper price point. You can rest assured knowing that you'll be able to keep mats away when using this brush!
