Use the Tauro Pro Line pear wood brush for a calm, effective daily brushing routine on medium coats. Follow these steps, avoid common mistakes, and keep the brush working for years.
Quick answer
For a medium coat, use the Tauro Pro Line pear wood brush once a day for 5–10 minutes, working in the direction of hair growth with gentle strokes. Choose the 20 mm pin length for routine upkeep, and switch to the 27 mm pins if you meet thicker areas or light tangles.
Why the Tauro Pro Line brush suits medium coats
Medium coats—think double coats or silky mixes—benefit from a brush that separates hairs without scratching the skin. The Tauro Pro Line brush uses stainless steel pins with an anti-static coating, which helps reduce flyaway fur and makes each stroke smoother. The pins are set in a special cushion technology that prevents them from sticking together, so you get consistent contact with the coat instead of clumps of pins that pull.
The pearwood body is lightweight, which matters when you are brushing for several minutes every day. A heavy brush tires your wrist and can lead to pressing harder than necessary. The hardwood handle and stainless steel pins are built for durability, and the brush is made in Germany. It is designed for all coat types and is especially suited to small and medium breeds.
Pin length: 20 mm vs 27 mm
The brush comes with two pin length options: 20 mm and 27 mm. The 20 mm pins are the better starting point for most medium coats because they reach through the topcoat without hitting the skin too aggressively. The 27 mm pins give more depth for coats that are denser or longer than a typical medium coat, but they can be too long for fine, short hair and may feel scratchy if you press down.
If you are unsure, start with the 20 mm option. You can always add the 27 mm later if you find the brush is not reaching through the coat during shedding season. The brush is available in dark wood only, and the dimensions are 4.8 x 18.5 cm, so it stores easily in a drawer or travel bag.
When daily brushing is too much
Daily brushing is not a hard rule for every medium coat. If your dog has sensitive skin, a skin condition, or a fresh injury, brushing every day can irritate the area. In those cases, brush every other day and avoid the affected spot until it heals. Also, if your dog is fearful of brushes, start with short 1-minute sessions and build up gradually rather than forcing a full routine.
The Tauro Pro Line brush is not a detangling tool for severe mats. If you hit a knot that does not come free with light strokes, stop and use a dedicated detangler or seek professional help. Pulling through a mat with any pin brush can hurt your dog and damage the pins.
Daily brushing routine for medium coats
- Start with a quick body check: Run your hands over your dog’s coat to feel for lumps, tender spots, or mats before you pick up the brush. Common mistake: brushing over a hidden sore or mat and causing pain. Checkpoint: if you find a mat, do not force the brush through it—switch to a detangler or seek help.
- Brush in sections, starting at the back: Begin at the rear and work forward in small sections, brushing in the direction of hair growth. Use slow, gentle strokes with the 20 mm pins. Common mistake: brushing against the grain or using fast, hard strokes, which can scratch the skin. Checkpoint: the brush should glide; if it drags, you are pressing too hard or the coat is tangled.
- Switch pin lengths only when needed: If the 20 mm pins are not reaching through a denser area, switch to the 27 mm pins for that section. Common mistake: using the longer pins everywhere, which can feel scratchy on finer coats. Checkpoint: after brushing, part the coat—if you see consistent lines through the fur, the pins are reaching the undercoat.
- Finish with a light once-over: Use the brush to smooth the coat in the direction of growth, then wipe the pins with a dry cloth to remove loose fur and dander. Common mistake: storing the brush with fur still in the pins, which reduces performance next time. Checkpoint: the brush should look clean and the pins should spring back when pressed.
- Clean the brush monthly: Remove trapped fur from the cushion with your fingers or a comb, then wipe the pins with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly before use. Common mistake: soaking the pearwood handle in water, which can warp the wood. Checkpoint: the pins should move independently and the cushion should look free of debris.
