Mikki Pro Slicker Brush — review & rating
Is Mikki Pro Slicker Brush a good choice?
A trusted, widely stocked UK slicker that handles loose undercoat, mats and tangles, with a cushioned pad that's gentle on skin and a self-cleaning version that ejects hair in one click. Use light strokes — pressing fine wire pins too hard causes 'slicker burn'.

📋 Hands-on test pending — this rating is based on label analysis and public manufacturer data (that is always how we score; a hands-on test adds photos, our own measurements and Bekon’s verdict, but never changes the score).
Frequently asked questions
How do I avoid hurting my dog with a slicker brush?
Use light, short strokes and let the pins do the work — never bear down. Hold the skin taut near mats and tease them out gradually rather than dragging through.
Is a slicker enough for a thick double coat?
It handles the surface and tangles, but heavy double coats also need an undercoat rake or deshedding tool to reach the dense underlayer.
